ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code

ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code

ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code

(OP)
We need a waste heat recovery boiler to recover heat from a low pressure (less than 1 PSIG) syngas.  The boiler is to produce 150 PSIG satuated steam. It is an unfired boiler.  Does the boiler have to comply with ASME section 1 or ASME section 8?  I have been told different things by different vendors.

RE: ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code

Look at the 2010/2011a ASME B&PV Code, Section I, Part HRSG.  

RE: ASME Boiler Pressure Vessel Code

I'm not that familiar with heat recovery boilers but PG-2.1 seems to encompass your application however it is also covered by UW-2(c).  I've run into this before with electric boilers, PEB-3 specifically states that you can design them under Section VIII.  However our AI wouldn't allow it.
