 |  | Project: Coal to Natural Gas Conversion
Client: Nexteer Automotive
Scope: Lipten converted two coal-fired boilers to fire natural gas. The work included demolition of existing grates, stokers, coal and ash hoppers. Lipten then installed new draft fans, furnace floors, support plates and a structural steel system required to support the new vertically fired burners. The project also included providing all new Burner management and combustion control systems along with variable frequency drives to control the speed of the FD and ID fans. |

 | | Project: 420,000 lb/hr Boiler Coal to Natural Gas Conversion
Client: General Motors
Scope: Lipten converted two coal-fired boilers to fire natural gas at the GM Wentzville assembly facility in Missouri. Lipten has converted many boilers from coal to natural gas firing; several of them at GM facilities.
The project includes installation of new vertical-firing natural gas burners. Vertical burners were chosen instead of horizontal burners for this application to provide: optimum flame geometry for the specific furnace configuration, improved water circulation patterns, improved thermal efficiency, better overall boiler performance, avoidance of flame impingement and simplified operation. The project also includes new forced draft fans, natural gas supply systems, electrical modifications, custom Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) control systems from Lipten’s Controls Division and additional system modifications required to convert coal boilers to fire natural gas. |
