Pressure Part Upgrades

Pressure Part Upgrades

HRST can design and supply retrofit pressure parts to improve your boiler system. Our mechanical design engineering, thermal performance engineering and field retrofit skills can develop the best option and provide performance predictions (if needed). HRST boiler and pressure vessel design and retrofit services are certified by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (NBIC).

steam drum internals

HRST offers several replacements and upgrades for steam drum internals. These include:

  • Cyclone agglomerators
  • Final Mesh
  • Replacement cyclone diffuser mesh
  • Perforated plates (eliminates need for diffuser mesh)
  • Vortex breaker covers
  • Turbo separators with upgraded agglomerator mesh
  • Floating belly plate parts kits

Steam Drum Door Upgrade

A retrofit steam drum manway door kit includes everything needed to install and use the drum door.

  • Door system design eliminates the need for stud hot re-torqueing
  • Door design, closing hardware, and closing procedures reduce the risk of gasket leaks from poor alignment
  • Applicable for steam drum elliptical manways
  • Internal manway door and bolt plates or strongbacks specifically designed for your application

Superheater & reheater attemperator pipe spools

Common problems include thermal fatigue and cracking caused by water overspray and damaged spray probes. HRST can provide an upgraded pipe spool to improve life of the attemperator pipe section.

  • Pinned and guided internal liner system that does not weld to the pipe.
  • Protects downstream and upstream spray probe
  • New spool and spray probe nozzle material restores the pressure parts to full fatigue life

Economizer Return Bend Failure Mitigation

Are your experiencing repeated failures in the upper return bends? Return bends looped over a support are a nightmare to repair. HRST can design a modified support system to prevent such failures.

Pipe liner for Reheater Desuperheater

“We had a short outage and needed a pipe liner for a reheater project. The attemporator was broken off and we needed expert recommendations for repairing the nozzle. HRST, Inc. was just great. They really helped us out a lot. They sent us a new liner right away. We had several questions about fitting the liner and we needed several on-site modifications. What impressed me was how helpful HRST, Inc. was throughout the entire process. All of our questions were answered immediately and we got all the help we needed to make this project work for us. I would definitely recommend your company to any facility with a similar need. We certainly plan on working with your firm in the near future.”
