Upgrades & Retrofits

With the growing demand for enhanced performance and life extension of plants, Howden has the engineering expertise and experience to provide cost effective upgrades and retrofits.

Continuous product development provides the opportunity to improve performance of not only our own equipment but also that supplied by other manufacturers. Our upgrade and retrofit solutions are always based on the latest state of the art air & gas handling equipment technology, aiming to bring your equipment up to the level of a new unit.

Where equipment is getting old, or where improved performance, higher efficiency, increased availability, reduced maintenance or noise emission reductions are being demanded, upgrades and retrofits should always be the first avenue to explore.

Typical upgrade and retrofit services include:

•new fan impellers in existing casings
•reductions in noise emissions
•application of improved coatings for erosion or corrosion protection
•air and gas heater enhancements
•improved seal design to reduce air preheater leakage
