Understandingthe importance of a ball valve in a water heater system ensures seamless operation and safety. This valve is typically located near the water inlet and outlet pipes on your water heater. It serves the primary function of controlling the flow of water into and out of the heater.

Ball valves are an excellent choice for water heaters due to their precise flow control, leak-proof properties, and versatility. They are designed to last longer and are less likely to leak than other valve types. Moreover, water ball valves work effectively under high temperatures and pressure, making them ideal for water heater systems.

The ball valve operates using a lever mechanism connected to a ball with a hole through the center. The design allows for a secure open or closed position, making them more reliable and easy to operate.

Ball valves, usually utilized in water heaters, among other applications, are essential in controlling the flow of fluid or gas medium. While designed to be highly durable, regular maintenance and quality checks extend their lifespan and prevent preventable accidents.

Zeeco offers a wide range of process burners used in industrial furnaces or direct-fired heaters to produce a vital heating source for energy, chemical and manufacturing processes. Depending on the industry, numerous burners may be required for a specific process. Likewise, depending on the furnace (vertical or cylindrical), different burner mountings, such as sidefired, upfired or downfired, may be required to properly operate the furnace.

Where process burners were once considered a primitive and polluting component of industries, Zeeco reinvented the modern-day burner for high energy efficiency, dramatically low emissions, and increased production. Our innovations in burner technology continue to set new standards in reliable performance and cleaner environmental practices.

Zeeco offers a complete line of boiler burners for every application, including low-NOx and ultra-low NOx, conventional, and even standardized burners for immediate needs. We also engineer sophisticated burner management, safety and control systems, pilots and ignitors, flame scanners, liquid fuel atomizers, and other ancillary equipment to keep operations up and running.

ZEECO package burners offer a short, compact flame to eliminate flame impingement issues on fire tube walls, creating greater flame stability and allowing for consistent heat distribution and lower maintenance costs. Each burner system comes complete with automatic flame monitoring and shut-off, rotary air dampers for precise low torque air control, and a combustion air fan.

Zeeco can provide combustion and emissions control solutions wherever hydrocarbon processing takes place. Customers can find our equipment and services in upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and energy processes.

We also offer products and support for other industries and applications such as tank/terminal loading and storage, pharmaceutical, carbon black, pulp & paper, steel, food processing, and more.

A Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) uses the industry-standard Claus Process to recover elemental sulfur (also known as "sulphur") from gaseous hydrogen sulfide that comes with refining crude oil, and other by-product gases that originate from refining and natural gas processing. An SRU also reduces the hazardous sulfur emissions to limits permitted by national and local air quality requirements. Zeeco engineers all of the combustion systems used in SRUs.

Incineration is a thermal process for converting waste gases or liquids to an environmentally acceptable condition. Our systems are capable of achieving 99.9999% destruction efficiency. The basic incineration system is comprised of an auxiliary fuel burner, a refractory-lined chamber, a discharge vent stack, and a control system. These components are described below.

This burner is provided to maintain the system operating temperature at the level necessary to achieve the desired performance. The burner can be fired with either gaseous or liquid fuel. The burner design is an integral portion of the incineration system design to provide the proper heat release profile and flame envelope to assure proper destruction of the waste gases or liquids.

Waste gas or waste liquid incineration requires that the incoming waste be treated (1) at a high temperature (typically 1200 to 2000F), (2) for a minimum residence time (typically 0.5 to 2.0 seconds) and (3) in an environment to ensure proper turbulent mixing of fuel, air, and waste. To meet these requirements, a steel vessel lined with high temperature refractory is provided. The vessel size and refractory materials are selected to be compatible with the waste stream and to meet the basic time, temperature, and turbulence requirement.

A vent stack transports the flue gas exiting the incinerator to the atmosphere. The vent stack height is fixed by flue gas dispersion requirements to avoid interference with other plant structures or operations. Vent stacks available separately.

An automatic control system is an integral portion of each incinerator. The control system assures that the unit will be operated in a safe manner to protect both personnel and equipment. To meet performance objectives, the waste combustion is performed under controlled and repeatable conditions. Typically, the control system monitors and actively controls flue gas temperatures, combustion/quench air flows, fuel pressures/flow, and flame stability to ensure safe and consistent equipment operation.

A Direct Fired Air Heater effectively heats air, as needed in a variety of heating processes. This equipment is most commonly employed in Fluidized Catalytic Cracker (FCC) units in petroleum refineries. The direct-fired air heater is primarily intended to be used during start-up operations and short feed outages to heat the catalyst bed in the regenerator section of the FCC unit (catalyst regeneration). During normal operation, the air heater is not fired and air flows directly to the regenerator through the air heater without being heated. The mass flow rate and operating pressure during the un-fired condition may vary from that used during the fired case.

Waste heat recovery equipment reclaims heat from flue gas for use in other process units. The heat is transferred directly from the hot flue gas to a steam boiler or circulating thermal oil system. The quantity of flue gas and the associated exit gas temperature limit the amount of heat recovered. These systems can typically recover up to 70-80% of the theoretical heat available in the flue gas. System heat recovery ranges in size from 1.0 MM Btu/hr to 300MM Btu/hr.

A primary advantage of waste heat recovery is the production of usable heat without any additional fuel expense. Because the waste heat recovery equipment draws heat from flue gas that would normally be discharged to the atmosphere, all heat recovered can be utilized to offset the fuel required to produce process heat in other facility operations. Zeeco waste heat recovery equipment improves overall plant economics and plant efficiency.

The goal of any incineration or thermal oxidation process is to control the amount volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released to the environment. While these systems typically achieve high destruction of VOCs, additional air pollutants may be generated during combustion of certain compounds in the waste stream. If released to the atmosphere without further treatment, these compounds can form secondary air pollutants.

Zeeco provides a variety of proven, environmentally beneficial solutions for post combustion treatment. Depending on the application and the components of the flue gas, one or more devices can be incorporated to form a compact waste treatment system:

At Zeeco, we understand the vital role thermal oxidizers, also known as incinerators, play in the destruction of hazardous waste gases.
