BOILER FUEL GAS
PIPE RACK

An integrated boiler fuel-train skid bringing fuel conditioning, metering, controlled isolation, ignition supply and utility distribution together on a common structural frame.

Representative assembled burner-management fuel skid with piping, valves and instruments
Representative fuel-train skid integration; project configuration follows approved engineering drawings.
Media & Flow Arrangement

Three fuel trains.
Two supporting utilities.

The boiler arrangement contains five principal functional circuits: process off gas, natural gas / waste natural gas, igniter gas, nitrogen purge and instrument air. Natural gas and waste natural gas enter through separate inlet legs before joining a common main-burner train. Igniter gas is a branch of the natural-gas supply.

Nitrogen purge train drawing thumbnail04 · Nitrogen purgeNitrogenProvides the purge connection into the process-off-gas piping; it is an auxiliary utility, not a fuel stream.
Instrument air distribution drawing thumbnail05 · Instrument airInstrument airDistributes regulated air to pneumatic valve actuators and the flame-scanner air connections shown in the P&ID.

Counting basis: three main fuel trains plus two auxiliary utility circuits. This describes system functions, not the number of individual pipe pieces or all physical inlet and outlet connections.

Design & Supply Scope

From approved process design to a fabricated, integrated skid.

The supply boundary combines piping, structural steel, valves and instrumentation, electrical interfaces and factory verification. The following groups summarize the documented scope rather than reproduce a component-by-component bill of materials.

Engineering & Interface Development

Translate approved P&IDs, equipment data and general arrangements into fabrication details and shop drawings. Coordinate pipe supports, access, structural interfaces, instrument tubing, cable routing and plant tie-ins, supported by an agreed inspection and test plan.

Piping & Structural Fabrication

Provide and assemble process piping, fittings and connections on a steel base frame with pipe supports, lifting provisions and grounding points. Material selection, welding and protective coating follow the approved line classes and project specifications.

Valves, Instruments & Electrical Integration

Integrate fuel conditioning, flow measurement, pressure regulation, control and shutdown functions with instrument-air distribution. Route factory wiring to separate DCS and BMS / SIS junction-box interfaces. Valve and instrument procurement, or installation of customer-supplied items, follows the awarded scope.

Inspector checking equipment and recording inspection results

Inspection, Documentation & Delivery

Complete approved material and weld verification, dimensional inspection, pressure testing and assembly checks. Deliver the manufacturing quality dossier, identification, preservation and shipping preparation, with technical site support as agreed.

Design & Manufacturing References

Project-defined codes.
Traceable execution.

The requisition and drawings reference international and Chinese requirements for piping, structural fabrication, welding, hazardous-area equipment and enclosure protection. Mandatory local requirements and the contract design basis govern applicability.

Factory Verification

Quality built into each fabrication stage.

Before Fabrication

Review shop drawings, material requirements, welding qualifications, weld / NDE maps and the inspection and test plan before production begins.

During Assembly

Maintain material traceability and inspection records, verify dimensions and welding, and check installation against the approved piping and instrument arrangement.

Before Shipment

Hydrotest pipe spools and pneumatically test assembled trains as required by the approved ITP. Complete records, identification, preservation and packing for delivery.

Define the Project Basis

Coordinate the fuel rack with your boiler system.

Share fuel composition, flow and pressure ranges, burner arrangement, utility conditions, area classification and the required plant control interfaces.
