Dissolved Oxygen Monitor and Filter Skid

A New York power generating station needed to monitor the Dissolved Oxygen content of the boiler feedwater. They had two necessary collection points, however only wanted one dissolved oxygen monitor.
The customer also wanted both samples filtered before it entered the D O Monitor. This would produce more accurate readings as well as protect the device
.

Waltron Dissolved Oxygen Monitor

Dual Cartridge Filter System, Stainless Steel Tubing

Orchem Pumps designed and manufactured the skid to the customers specifications.
We used a Waltron Dissolved Oxygen Monitor.

Components mounted on "U" channel

Pre wired

The unit was pre-piped using 1/4", 316 Stainless Steel tubing, and connected with Parker compression fittings. Flow would be regulated from each collection point to the individual cartridge filters using Parker Stainless Steel needle valves. This would ensure precise flow to the Waltron Dissolved Oxygen sensor.

The complete package was delivered and installed on the discharge side of their sample coolers.

Compact design

The unit is compact and the customer wanted it floor mounted instead of wall mounted. Either option was available. The components were mounted on "U" channel so if other controllers needed to be added in the future it would be a simple addition.

Stainless Steel Boiler Water Sample Cooler

A Southeast chemical manufacturer was using softened water as the cooling medium to cool their boiler water sample. That required a stainless steel shell due to the corrosive nature of the softened water. They were doing this to recover the heat from cooling the sample and sending it directly back to the deaerator.

Stainless Steel Shell and coil with coupling

 By using this procedure they required less energy to heat the water since it had already picked up heat in the cooling process.

The chemical company also needed a removable coil for repair or replacement if necessary. They also recognized the advantage of having a removable cooling coil if they needed to sample water in a remote location.
We provided a Model RRSS water cooling sampler that fit all their needs.

Odor Exchanger for Stack Odor Control

One of the worlds largest food processing companies was having issues with a waste water collection tank that was"burping" odors as more of the waste water slurry was added to it. (This particular facility is in the Mid-Atlantic region.)  The surrounding community was raising concerns regarding the steady odors escaping from the tank.

The processed waste was eventually going to be "land applied" so there could be no additional chemicals added to it to reduce the fugitive odors.

The solution for odor abatement had to be immediate and all natural.

 

Stack In Line Odor Exchanger

Orchem developed the Odor Exchanger to be used specifically for this type of stack odor control.

The unit is compact, easy to install, and the all natural odor control media inside is replaceable.

All Natural Carbon Filter Media

Internal Distribution Plate

Inlet Cap

This particular "Stack Odor Exchanger" is made of PVC and has male pipe thread connections. 2" inlet and 1" discharge.

One of the advantages of the Odor Exchanger for stacks is that it can be designed for almost any flow range, with any material of construction, and with any connections to make it compatible for your particular odor control application.

Just think!
Happy neighbors. All natural. Easy to install. Inexpensive, and no operating cost.
How often does that happen?

High Temperature Fire Side Injection Quill

A Southeast, "wood to energy" facility was experiencing long and drawn out turn around time on their shut downs and general maintenance schedule due to the substantial build up on the outside heat exchange surfaces of the boiler tubes. The slag would have to be dynamited off which is costly and dangerous.
The chemical supplier developed a product, however feeding it into an 1800 degree chamber proved to be another issue.

High Temperature Fireside Injection Quill

We developed the High Temperature Fire Side Injection Quill which would allow the product to be fed, and we utilized air to cool the product and the quill at the same time. This kept the additive from flashing prior to being delivered into the fire box.

Inner Shell, Outer Shell Injection Points

The High Temperature Fire Side Injection Quill has an inner and outer shell for cooling and to facilitate a more dynamic delivery system.

Cooling Air Injection Point for the Outer Shell

The result was a dramatic reduction in down time and it eliminated the need for blasting the deposits off the tubes.
This improved safety and productivity for the facility.
All alloys used in the development of this high temperature quill were specifically selected for this application.

Water Cooling Sampler With Removable Coil.

Many industrial operations utilize water for cooling that has a high degree of foulants or contaminants which can coat the outside of a cooling coil. When this happens the heat transfer is drastically reduced and it takes longer to draw a representative sample. There are 2 options;

Unit shown with 3" shell, 18" long

1- Throw the sample cooler away and purchase a new one, or
2- Purchase a cooler that has a removable coil so it can be cleaned.
Obviously, the removable coil is the better choice.
The Model RR Sample Cooler has a 316 stainless steel coil and it is held in place using a victaulic coupling for easy removal and cleaning.
Most customers find it beneficial to keep an extra coil on hand so they can continue sampling, boilers, condensate, feedwater, or process water while one is being cleaned.
Removal and installation of the new coil takes about 5 minutes. There are only 2 nuts on the coupling.
Take them off, pull the old coil out, put the new one in, re-attach the coupling and you're back up and testing your water again.

Coil, Shell, and Coupling

There are options for the materials of construction on the coil and the shell, depending on your particular application.
This particular unit is being shipped to a large plastics manufacturing facility that uses river water to cool the boiler sample in their power plant.

These units are inexpensive and a very practical tool in optimizing a treatment program.
