I Flintkote Company Modernized a Power Plant when Flintkote Company modernized its power plant at its Ridgefield Park, N. J. building-paper mill it went all out and now gets 20% more stea 21% more efficiency 33% savings in fuel cost 33% less maintenance costs W IIW a BW W MHWg. CONGRATULATIONS *! to The Flintkote Company for its citation received in POWER'S 1955 Moderniza FLINTKOTE'S PROBLEMS: tion Program Increase steam capacity to provide 20% margin for future requirements. Five out of twelve citation winners for their modernization of steam-power facilities feature Riley Steam Generating Units and Riley Fuel Increase steam generating efficiency. Utilize two lower cost fuels, bituminous coal and #6 oil, in place of anthracite. Provide for possible future shortage of one of these fuels. Burning Equipment Reduce average $20,000 annual maintenance cost. Complete modernization without interrupting production Utilize existing plant building. RX: the others are: Bendix Products Division, Bendix Aviation Corp., South Bend, Ind. Carbide & Carbon Co., Blaine Island, So. Charleston, W. Va. The Garlock Pocking Co., Palmyra, N. Y. The Pennsylvania Railrood, Juniata Shops, Aitoonc, Po. Replace two older stoker fired units burning anthracite with a Riley Unit fired by Riley Flare Type Burners and Riley Pulverizers. Overhaul and convert one of the three old units to oil firing as standby unit. Provide automatic combustion controls and up-to-date coal handling and ash removal systems. RESULTS: Work was accomplished without interruption to paper mill production: tie-ins were made during normal plant shut down. Operators were thoroughly trained to fire new fuels and equipment. Efficiency increased from 71% to over 86%. Fuel costs were lowered from 67.5c per 1000 lbs. of steam to -46c per 1000 lbs. of steam with a total annual savings in fuel costs of $55,000 pius a substantially reduced main tenance cost. RILEY designs, engineers, manufactures and erects complete steam generating units for Public Utility Central Stations and Industrial Power and Heating Plants and now saves $55,000 on fuel costs alone ^ RILEY Steam Generating and Fuel Burning Equipment POWER NOVEMBER 1955 Engineering Data of Equipment furnished to Flintkote Co. by RILEY One 60,000 lbs/hr RX Steam Generating Unit complete with Riley Air Heater, Superheater and featuring patented Riley Single Header Hopper Bottom; Two Riley Flare Type Burners One Riley 50 Pulverizer Guaranteed Efficiency at 60,000 Ibs/hr -- 85.3% Actual Operating Efficiency exceeding 86%. *It will pay you to investigate the savings that can be affected when vou install Riley Pulverizers to fire boilers of 50,000 to 75,000 lbs/hr capacity. A survey of your plant by a consulting engineer could show ways of making mmsurprising savings in your power costs.
