Composite Boiler

high 52 models total

A composite boiler combines an oil-fired furnace and an exhaust gas heating surface inside one shell, so it can raise steam from the main engine's waste heat while under way and switch to oil firing in port or at low load, without running two separate boiler units.

What sets a composite boiler apart

A pure exhaust gas economiser only makes steam when the main engine is running hard enough to produce useful exhaust heat, and a pure oil-fired boiler needs its own furnace and burner regardless of engine load. A composite boiler puts both heat sources inside a single pressure vessel: exhaust gas tubes pass through the same steam and water space as the oil-fired section, so the vessel automatically draws steam from whichever source is available, cutting fuel consumption at sea and giving full steam-raising capability in port.

Composite boiler arrangement
Schematic of a composite boiler sharing one steam drum between an oil-fired furnace and an exhaust gas tube bundle fed from the main engine, with feedwater in, steam out and the water circulation between drum and heating surfaces.

Main components

Oil-fired section

A furnace with a rotary or pressure-jet burner, refractory lining and its own combustion air fan, functioning as a conventional smoke tube or water tube boiler section.

Exhaust gas section

A bank of gas tubes or a gas-side casing routed from the main engine exhaust, arranged so soot blowing and gas-side cleaning can be carried out without shutting down the oil-fired side.

Common steam drum

Both heat sources feed the same steam and water space, so water level control and safety valves cover the composite unit as a single system rather than two.

Soot blowers and gas dampers

Fitted to the exhaust gas passages to control gas-side fouling, with dampers to isolate the exhaust gas section when the main engine is stopped or when its heat is not needed.

Selection and sizing

  • Steam demand at sea versus in port, since the split between the two heat sources drives the balance of exhaust gas heating surface against oil-fired capacity.
  • Main engine exhaust gas temperature and flow at normal service load, which sets how much of the steam demand the exhaust section can cover unaided.
  • Working pressure needed by cargo heating, fuel heating or accommodation services.
  • Space and weight in the funnel casing, since routing exhaust gas through the boiler adds backpressure that the main engine maker must approve.

Regulations and class

Class rules cover the pressure vessel design, safety valve capacity and periodic internal and hydraulic testing exactly as for any steam boiler, with the composite unit surveyed as one vessel. SOLAS Ch. II-2 requirements for boiler room fire protection and fuel oil supply arrangements apply to the oil-fired section. Exhaust gas backpressure introduced by the gas-side tube bank is subject to the main engine maker's approved limit and is checked at commissioning and after major gas-side cleaning.

Typical faults

FaultConsequence
Soot and unburnt deposits building up on exhaust gas tubesFalling exhaust steam output and rising engine backpressure
Uneven water circulation between the two heating sectionsLocal overheating and tube wastage where circulation is weakest
Burner left in poor combustion trimCarbon build-up on the oil-fired section, reduced efficiency, smoke
Gas damper seized or not fully closingUncontrolled gas-side cooling, condensation and acid corrosion when the engine is stopped

What to look for in a supplier

  • Class-approved pressure vessel design documentation covering both heat sources as a single approved unit.
  • Confirmed compatibility of the exhaust gas backpressure with the specific main engine model fitted.
  • Soot blower and gas-side access design that allows cleaning without a full boiler shutdown.
  • Spares commonality between the oil-fired burner components and other boilers already on board, where possible.

Log exhaust gas outlet temperature from the boiler alongside engine load, not just boiler pressure, since a rising outlet temperature at constant load is usually the first sign of gas-side fouling long before steam output visibly drops.

Service: Integrated composite design. EG section at sea, oil section in port or supplementary. Soot blow EG section regularly.
Spare Parts: Aalborg Industries (Alfa Laval): Keep burner nozzle set, photocell and gaskets onboard. Lead time: 3–8 weeks for tubes.
Strengths
  • Integrated dual‑fuel (oil + exhaust gas) capability provides fuel flexibility and BOG utilization.
  • High steam output (12.5–120 t/h) suitable for main propulsion boilers on tankers and large bulk carriers.
  • Compact D‑type water‑tube construction with membrane walls reduces overall plant footprint.
  • Minimal fire‑box refractory lowers weight and simplifies furnace maintenance.
  • Design pressure options (9 or 18 bar) match most merchant‑ship steam system requirements.
Weaknesses
  • Complex control strategy for simultaneous oil and exhaust‑gas operation increases commissioning effort.
  • Higher capital cost compared with single‑fuel water‑tube boilers.
  • Regular soot‑blowing of the EG section is required to maintain heat transfer efficiency.
  • Limited to 9–18 bar design pressure; not suitable for high‑pressure (≥20 bar) applications.
  • Tube bundle maintenance can be intensive due to corrosion or scale if water chemistry is poor.
Typical Vessels: Crude oil tankerProduct tankerBulk carrierContainer shipRo‑Ro vessel
Certifications: ABSDNV GLLloyd’s Register
Decision Guide: Choose the Mission OC when you need a versatile steam generator that can exploit exhaust‑gas heat at sea and switch to oil in port, require up to 120 t/h of steam at moderate pressure, and value compact D‑type construction. Avoid it if your vessel operates at pressures above 18 bar, you prefer a single‑fuel system for simplicity, or budget constraints preclude the higher upfront cost.
Use Cases: Typical deployments include crude oil tankers using boil‑off gas (BOG) to generate steam while underway and switching to oil when in port, product tankers that need auxiliary steam for cargo heating, and large bulk carriers that recover exhaust‑gas heat to reduce fuel consumption on long voyages. The boiler’s dual‑fuel capability also suits container ships seeking to lower emissions by maximizing exhaust‑gas utilization.

    Check: Internal visual inspection of all steam/water tubes; perform pressure test if suspected; seal leaking tube with conical stop valve after steel wire brush cleaning of tube ends. Leaking tubes must be renewed.
  • Area: Water level regulation: failure of differential pressure transmitter or feedwater control valve leads to flooding/drying out
    Check: Check DP transmitter unit (external reference/variable leg, 4–20 mA output); feedwater control valve functional test; sight glass for cracks, contamination; test alarm function in control unit
  • Area: Safety valve failure or incorrect opening/closing pressures — overpressure or inadequate emergency steam relief
    Check: Test two safety valves under full-load steam: pressure build-up 7 min. max. +6% working pressure permissible (water tubes); pop-point of each valve max. ±3% from set pressure; class notation: perform opening + accumulation test under classifier supervision
  • Area: Furnace refractory damage (cracks, spalling) or soot/corrosion → heat leaks, furnace instability, drum overheating
    Check: Inspect furnace walls and refractory lining visually (min. 2x/year); check for cracks, moisture, soot deposits. Check lower tube plate (insulation + form refractory). After 3–4 weeks operation: perform blow-down, inspect/clean boiler, remove sludge
  • Area: Loss of pressure integrity due to corrosion, cracks, rivets or welds → leakage, operating loss, safety risk
    Check: Hydrostatic test: fill boiler with water 21–65 °C (water tubes max. 71 °C). Pressure: 1.5× MAWP (non-entry) or 1.25× MAWP (entry). Secure safety valves with clamps. Check all seal surfaces, rivets, welds for leaks. Class notation: every 2 years (up to 8 years), then annually
  • Area: Internal corrosion (water side), scale deposits or fire side soot/flocking → tube wear, heat loss, contamination
    Check: Class survey: water side (steam drum, water drum, all tubes) check for corrosion/cracks/deposits; fire side (furnace, flue gas path) check for soot/flocking (min. 2x/year). Man holes (top/bottom) permit access. If necessary use ultrasonic/endoscope for deeper defects

Mission OC Composite
3000 kg/h steam · Steam (FO + Exhaust gas) · dual-fuel composite marine boiler
Common Failures & Inspection Points
  • Burner or heat-source faults reduce heat output and cause flame, temperature or pressure alarms
  • Feedwater, circulation or level-control faults cause unstable operation and protective trips
  • Soot, scale or internal deposits reduce heat transfer and cause poor output or abnormal temperatures
  • Tube, coil, gasket or valve leakage causes visible water, steam, oil or fuel leakage and pressure loss
  • Control, fan, flame-monitoring or safety-device faults cause repeated trips or failure of the normal operating sequence
Service: Inspect the burner or exhaust-heating section, pressure parts or thermal-oil coils, level or circulation controls, pumps, safety devices and refractory where fitted. Review treatment chemistry, leakage, deposits and alarm history. Function-test protective devices under the approved procedure. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for pressure, temperature, burner and wear limits.
Spare Parts: Carry burner and ignition parts where applicable, filters, valve and pump seal kits, level or temperature control parts, gaskets, fuses and selected control relays.
Strengths
  • Compact footprint suitable for vessels with limited engine room space
  • Dual‑fuel capability allows operation on either oil or gas, enhancing fuel flexibility
  • Integrated EGE section with automated soot blower improves heat recovery and reduces emissions
  • Fast start‑up and high part‑load efficiency compared to single‑fuel boilers
  • Standard IMO D‑2 construction meets stringent marine safety requirements
Weaknesses
  • More complex control system than single‑fuel units, requiring specialised operator training
  • EGE soot‑blowing mechanism adds maintenance tasks and can be a source of soot fires if not managed correctly
  • Water level gauge glass is known to be fragile and may need frequent replacement
  • Safety valve lifting incidents reported under rapid load changes
  • Higher initial capital cost relative to basic oil‑only boilers
Typical Vessels: TankerContainer shipCruise linerOffshore supply vesselMultipurpose cargo vessel
Certifications: IMO D-2ABSDNV
Decision Guide: Choose if the vessel requires fuel flexibility (oil and gas), has limited engine‑room space, and can support the additional maintenance of a dual‑fuel system. Avoid if crew training on dual‑fuel boiler operation is insufficient, or if operational simplicity and minimal upkeep are higher priorities than fuel versatility.
Use Cases: Steam and thermal-heating service on merchant, tanker, passenger and offshore vessels.

  • Feedwater, circulation or level-control faults cause unstable operation and protective trips
  • Soot, scale or internal deposits reduce heat transfer and cause poor output or abnormal temperatures
  • Tube, coil, gasket or valve leakage causes visible water, steam, oil or fuel leakage and pressure loss
  • Control, fan, flame-monitoring or safety-device faults cause repeated trips or failure of the normal operating sequence
Service: Inspect the burner or exhaust-heating section, pressure parts or thermal-oil coils, level or circulation controls, pumps, safety devices and refractory where fitted. Review treatment chemistry, leakage, deposits and alarm history. Function-test protective devices under the approved procedure. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for pressure, temperature, burner and wear limits.
Spare Parts: Carry burner and ignition parts where applicable, filters, valve and pump seal kits, level or temperature control parts, gaskets, fuses and selected control relays.
Strengths
  • Rapid start‑up thanks to low water content
  • Small footprint – ideal for vessels with limited engine‑room space
  • High thermal efficiency from optimized heat‑transfer design
  • Modular construction simplifies installation and routine maintenance
  • Robust marine‑grade materials suitable for harsh sea environments
Weaknesses
  • Tube leakage at the tube plate is a known failure mode, requiring careful inspection and periodic retube
  • Feed‑water control valve can stick if water treatment and level control are not rigorously maintained
  • Soot accumulation on fire tubes demands regular cleaning to retain efficiency
  • Steam output is limited compared with larger fire‑tube or multi‑drum boilers
  • Composite design may be more sensitive to corrosion if water chemistry is not tightly controlled

Certifications: DNVABS
Decision Guide: Choose if: you need a high‑pressure steam source in a confined engine‑room, can maintain strict water‑treatment and level‑control regimes, and value quick start‑up and compactness. Avoid if: the vessel requires very large steam capacities, prefers a low‑maintenance fire‑tube design, or cannot guarantee disciplined water‑quality management.
Use Cases: Steam and thermal-heating service on merchant, tanker, passenger and offshore vessels.

Strengths
  • Dual‑fuel capability (oil + exhaust gas) improves fuel flexibility and reduces bunker consumption.
  • Higher thermal efficiency by recovering waste heat from engine exhaust gases.
  • Compact footprint compared with separate oil‑only and waste‑heat boilers, saving space on board.
  • Designed for easy integration with existing marine propulsion systems and steam distribution networks.
Weaknesses
  • Complex control system requires skilled operators and more rigorous maintenance routines.
  • Potential soot fire risk in the exhaust‑gas section if soot management protocols are not strictly followed.
  • Oil burner ignition failures can occur if fuel quality or pre‑heat systems are inadequate.
  • Corrosion of water‑side tubes and scale buildup demand regular chemical cleaning and inspection.
Typical Vessels: Crude oil tankerProduct tankerBulk carrierContainer ship (large, steam‑heated cargo holds)Offshore supply vessel
Certifications: IMO D-2
Decision Guide: Choose if: you need a single boiler that can simultaneously use oil and recover exhaust heat to lower fuel costs, space is limited, and the vessel operates on routes where dual‑fuel flexibility adds operational resilience. Avoid if: crew lack experience with composite boiler control systems, or the ship’s design cannot accommodate the required soot‑fire prevention equipment and regular water‑side cleaning.
