Equipment Spotlight Spotlight on boilers The latest in biomass boiler technology Staff report different types of biomass stoker/gasifiers, which have used 2,000 plus different types of biomass fuels. With installations across all industries worldwide, Hurst Boiler is recognized for the highest code standards, innovative engineering and design, Ener-gy Star rating, and renewable, sustainable solutions for green building design and op-erational efficiency. www.hurstboiler.com UNICONFORT JANSEN Uniconfort produces biomass boilers from 199 kW to 25 MW and 50 kW to five MW. The biomass boilers work with convention-al and non-conventional biomass. Unicon-fort’s Incinerator Department founded in 2016. Uniconfort’s North America agent is beloTEQ, based in Quebec. www.uniconfort.com SÄÄTÖTULI HURST Hurst Boiler & Welding Company, Inc. has been manufacturing, designing, engineer-ing and servicing gas, oil, coal, solid waste, wood, biomass and hybrid fuel-fired steam and hot water boilers since 1967. Also spe-cialized in the manufacturing of modular biomass boiler systems, their boiler vessel designs (CRN registered) include firebox, vertical tubeless, hybrid water/ fire-tube, and water-tube. Hurst manufactures seven Säätötuli Canada combines the Finnish Säätötuli biomass-burning technology and 30-plus year know-how with Canadi-an-made ASME pressure-vessels and auto-mation boxes. Säätötuli Canada’s hot-water boilers from 682,000 BTU/hr (200 kW) to 4,000,000 BTU/hr (1,200 kW) are ideal for small heat-networks, agricultural applica-tions, municipal and industrial-building heating. The 1,700,000 BTU/hr (500 kW) hot-air furnace is second to none for du-rability, efficiency and versatility. It is used for various applications like grain-dryers, process heat, building heating and under-ground mine heating. All Säätötuli burners utilize woodchips and pellets, as well as other solid biomass. Burners can be adapt-ed for other OEM applications. Container-ized solutions are the easiest way to convert an existing system to biomass. www.saatotuli.ca Jansen Combustion and Boiler Technolo-gies, Inc. has served the biomass industry since 1976. Jansen specializes in improving the performance, capacity, reliability, and safety of industrial boilers that burn diffi-cult fuels, such as biomass, refuse derived fuel, and pulping liquors. Over the years, Jansen has provided engineering evalua-tions of over 70 Canadian boilers and has carried out 15 boiler upgrade projects in Canada. Three biomass boiler combustion air system upgrade projects were com-pleted in 2016 at the following locations: Harmac Pacific, Nanaimo, B.C.; Daishowa Marubeni, Peace River, Alta.; and West Fra-ser, Hinton, Alta. www.jansenboiler.com COMPTE-FOURNIER Compte-Fournier offers customers access to all the experience and expertise of the JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017 26 Canadian BIOMASS
