Thermax offers single-drum and bi-drum type BFG/lean gas fired boilers for the steel industry. Both packaged as well as site-erected options are available. The burners for these boilers are manufactured indigenously based on proprietary Babcock & Wilcox design, ensuring perfect match and integration with furnace geometry. A notable benefit of Thermax's proven and field-tested design, evident at more than two dozen operating installations, is high reliability in spite of the peculiar characteristics of the gas - slow-burning nature, low calorific value and low combustibles.
