Coen’s Utility Combustion Systems team was competitively selected to furnish retrofittable gas burner equipment to eliminate boiler vibration and load derating at Bell Bay Units 1 & 2 in Tasmania, Australia following a conversion from heavy oil to natural gas firing. The OEM burners were originally designed to fire oil only, but had previously been converted to 100% gas firing. The gas burner equipment retrofitted to the burners caused severe boiler vibration. Coen proposed modifications to the burners that would replace critical components responsible for the vibration while preserving the burner air register assembly. This approach minimized the time required to solve the boiler vibration problem.
