LOCATION:   North Carolina
 
OUTPUT RATING:   9MM BTU
 
APPLICATION:
 
This CHALLENGER® CCUE409-S "Steam" Thermal Combustion Unit provides steam for dry kiln operations.
  
The system is equipped with PCC Controls, Extended Combustion Zone and Auto De-Ash. Also included in the system is a 250 HP Steam Boiler, Dust Collection and 100 cubic yard Storage Silo.
 
With PCC Controls, the system will automatically stay within 3 to 5 PSI of the customer's desired set point. Fuel feed motors, combustion fans and induced draft fan all run on variable frequency drives to ensure the proper ratio of combustion air to fuel. The unit will adjust itself automatically according to its load demand.
 
The Extended Combustion Zone provides increases dwell time to 1.5 seconds for the combustion of any unwanted particulates and emissions before they are able to exit the system, making the process much cleaner, which reduces maintenance time and costs.
 
CHALLENGER®'s advanced Auto De-Ash System eliminates downtime and labor costs by removing ash from the system automatically. It's hands-free operation also makes it much safer.
 
The Dust Collection System moves the material from the mill to the Storage Silo. From there, it is fed into the Combustion Unit automatically.
 
The combustion unit itself, like all CHALLENGER® Combustion Units is equipped with high temperature cast refractory ceramic lining for longer life. This cast refractory/ceramic lining was designed to be completely modular, which makes for easy repair and replacement.
 
FUEL SOURCE:
 
This CHALLENGER® Thermal Combustion System burns both dry hard and soft wood shavings with less than 10% moisture content. The fuel is taken directly from the dust collection and stored in a 100 cubic yard storage silo. The fuel is then automatically fed into the unit.
 
SAVINGS:
 
The installation of this CHALLENGER® Thermal Combustion System has allowed the customer to use their waste product as a fuel source, virtually eliminating one of their most substantial operating costs.
