Fishtail Dairy (Nova) - Vertical Cross Tube Steam Boiler, Pokhara

ME Engineering supplied, erected, tested and commissioned a vertical cross tube steam boiler for Fishtail Dairy (Nova) in Pokhara, Nepal. The boiler produces steam for the dairy's process and utility needs. A vertical cross tube boiler has an upright shell with cross tubes across the furnace, which gives a compact footprint and good heat transfer.

Why a vertical cross tube boiler

• Compact footprint: the vertical design takes less floor space than a horizontal boiler of similar output, which helps in plants with limited room.
• Cross tubes in the furnace: they add heating surface and improve circulation, so heat is transferred efficiently.
• Simple to operate and maintain: a straightforward design suits dairy plants that need steady, reliable steam.
