Cyclone-Fired Pressurized Steam Generator

The Dow Chemical Company has a number of plants in the United States and Canada for the manufacture of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals and the production of magnesium metal. Their power plants supply process, high-pressure, low-pressure, and vacuum steam; electrical energy, compressed air, high and low-pressure water and stack gas. Several of the power plants are synchronized with public utilities. Power is purchased or sold depending upon the local conditions. This combination affords an opportunity to select and operate equipment beyond the scope of the average plant, and to put into use advanced ideas in power-plant design.
