Abstract
Steam-generating facilities at the Koppers Company, Incorporated, Butadiene Division, Butadiene-Styrene Chemical Plant, at Kobuta, Pa., include two types of units; natural-circulation boilers and the first forced-circulation boiler to be installed in the United States for industrial-plant processes. Since plant operation began in the summer of 1943, this installation has afforded boiler operators an opportunity to compare the operating characteristics of the two types. This paper describes briefly the design and operating features of these steam generators, together with some of the difficulties encountered and how they were overcome.
