CO Boiler application. Our engineers have decades of experience in designing these systems for petroleum refineries around the globe. We are a supplier of CO Boilers for the world’s major Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) process licensors. CO Boilers are thermal oxidizers with integral waste heat recovery systems that are used to oxidize carbon monoxide-rich waste gases typically generated by Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Units (FCCU) in petroleum refineries. They are traditionally referred to as “Boilers” due to the large quantity of steam generated by integral waste heat recovery systems.
Zeeco’s experienced engineering group goes the extra mile with each and every ZEECO® CO Boiler. We use advanced Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling to simulate your unique process conditions against actual equipment design. Rather than relying on past experience and traditional design rules, this allows us to predict what cannot otherwise be seen or anticipated.
As the first Combustion Research and Test Facility in the world to become ISO 9001-2000 certified, our staff continues to stay ahead of rapidly changing emission requirements. With 15 full-scale combustion test furnaces, Zeeco is capable of testing a wide variety of combustion systems under simulated field conditions. A multi-stream incineration system allows us to test the most complex situations in a controlled environment.
