People Never Running Out Of SteamPeople Never Running Out Of SteamS

With more than 1,000 units accounting for about 80 GWe capacity installed around the world, Ansaldo Caldaie is the most experienced Italian designer and manufacturer of Steam Generators.Along the way of our over-a-century-old experience, we blended our know-how with the expertise of BREDA Termomeccanica and FRANCO TOSI, the other two historical Italian boiler manufacturers. Since February 2001, Ansaldo Caldaie is part of SOFINTER, an Italian private Holding that gathers companies active in the power and water business sectors.

Our range of products and services includes: Utility boilers, sub-critical and supercritical, coal, gas and oil fired up to 660 MWe. HRSG downstream gas turbines up to 250 MWe. Waste Heat Boilers for incineration plants.In-furnace NOx emission reduction solutions (low NOx coal/gas/oil burners, Over Fire Air, Re-burning injectors, Flue Gas Re-circulation systems).Rehabilitations, Fuel conversions, Retrofits of existing Steam Generators.

Besides, we pride ourselves of our distinguishing experience in burning Orimulsion, Synthetic Gas, Coke-oven Gas. Our product development is validated by the tests we make in our state-of-the-art Combustion and Environment Research Centre equipped with a 50 MWth Combustion Test Rig and a 6 MWth Re-burning simulation facility.Not only are we in a position to test full scale burners and reduced scale NOx emission reduction systems for our own projects, but we also conduct tests for third parties such as gas turbine manufacturers, certifying bodies, utility companies.

introduction

Whilst we are very proud of our past achievements, we also have a clear vision of our future. Our ultimate mission is to:

Timely deliver technically efficient and cost effective products and services.Win the confidence of our customers by consistently exceeding their expectations.Forge long-lasting relationships based upon mutual trust and partnership spirit.

The experience and know-how inherited from our three original companies (ANSALDO, BREDA Termomeccanica, FRANCO TOSI) give us a unique feature. Over the years, our engineers have mastered the know-how of front-opposite firing and tangential firing technology. Not only are we able to find solutions for our boilers, we have the expertise to solve problems of steam generators designed and supplied by others.

To accomplish our mission we strive to:

Approach problems proactively and co-creatively with our customers.Ease our customers' decision making process by transforming data into information and knowledge.Provide innovative solutions to our customers' most challenging problems.Minimise our customers' operating and maintenance cost.Make our customers feel we are part of the same team.Concentrate on providing services in the O & M field

that synergistically use advanced IT, combined with our vast experience and know-how.

Co-creative Approach

In order to reach the parameters set by the Kyoto Protocol, the developed nations agreed to limit their pollutant emissions in the atmosphere.Much earlier than that time, Ansaldo Caldaie started studying solutions to limit NOx emission levels using in-furnace reduction measures.ANSALDO CALDAIE is one of the frontrunners of clean combustion technology with our extensive experience in designing:

Low-NOx burners TEA-C (firing coal and oil) and TEA-BA (firing oil and gas).Air staging (Two Stage Combustion) Over Fire Air and its simplified forms: Closed Coupled OFA and Burners Out Of Service.Fuel staging (Re-burning or three stage combustion).Flue Gas Mixing (GM) and/or Flue Gas Recirculation (GR). Over Fire Air Ports

Re-burning Injector

Main Burners

Compliance with

Environmental Regulations

We dedicate extensive resources to research and development to enhance the design of our products and meet the ever challenging requests for higher efficiency, better performance and longer life time.

In addition to our large manufacturing premises, we own an advanced Combustion & Environment Research Centre (CCA) equipped with:

A 50 MWth industrial boiler, capable of firing coal, oil and gas, devoted to test individual burners in full scale and operating conditions. A re-burning simulation facility rated up to 6 MWth for testing and validating our re-burning system technology.

We rely upon our CCA for:

Developing, testing & validating Low NOx burners firing common (coal, gas, oil) and alternative fuels such as Orimulsion, Biomass, RDF, coal-water slurries, etc.Developing and validating staged (clean) combustion systems such as Re-burning, and Flue Gas Mixing and Flue Gas Recirculation.Developing and validating flexible post-firing systems for Combined Cycle and IGCC plants.Optimizing combustion of existing boilers.Testing materials for the new generation of supercritical boilers.Mathematically modeling of Fluid Dynamics to support our design.
