Tenova Core to Upgrade Reheat-Furnace Combustion System at Siam Yamato
Mar. 18, 2010 Tenova Core has recently been contracted to revamp the combustion system of the existing walking beam reheating furnace at Siam Yamato Co. Ltd’s plant at Maptaphut Rayong, Thailand. This project aims to reduce the amount of NOx being emitted through the furnace stack.
The combustion system project will include the installation of new Tenova TSX Flexytech® low NOx burners in the soak and heat zones of the furnace. The new “flameless” burners along with other modifications to the combustion system will provide the necessary NOx reduction as specified by Siam Yamato.
Tenova Core will also modify the existing control and automation package to seamlessly accommodate the burner and combustion system changes.
The combustion system upgrade is scheduled to occur during a prescheduled maintenance outage in 2010.
