Clayton Industries supports the Power & Energy Industry
Steam plays a large role in power generation, and you’ll find Clayton Steam Generators in power plants around the world. Fossil fuel plants, as well as nuclear power plants, use steam to drive generationers and produce electricity. In traditional utility boiler plants, auxiliary steam can also be used for heating or to preheat the deaerator or steam system piping.
A unique niche for steam use in a gas turbine plant is for NOx reduction. A small amount of super-heated steam can be injected into the gas turbine, which will reduce the combustion temperature and the formation of NOx. This can be an effective method to reduce emissions of older gas turbine plants that are faced with new more stringent local air pollution regulations.
Another use is in gas turbine, combined cycle power plants, where auxiliary super-heated steam is beneficial to seal the glands of the steam turbine right at start-up. By using auxiliary steam for gland sealing, a combine cycle power plant can synchronize its generators to come fully online 45-60 minutes faster resulting in massive savings at every start.
Clayton Steam Generators producing saturated or super-heated steam can go from a cold start to full output in under 10 minutes, which is a huge advantage for single cycle gas turbine plants that need to reduce emission, or for combined cycle plants that handle peak demand with frequent start-ups. No other boiler can produce super-heated steam as fast as Clayton.

Featured Case Study
Portable Steam Supply
Höyrytys Oy’s portable backup energy supply secured Neste’s Naantali oil refinery during a maintenance outage.
Höyrytys Oy is the largest supplier of fast backup energy in the Nordic countries and has a unique service capability in the field of backup energy in Finland. Wheeled trailers enables the company to supply large volumes of steam or heat to clients across Finland and Northern Europe.
It provides various backup energy services on wheels from heavy trailers and steam vehicles to small flexible heat trailers.
Backup steam or heat comes in handy, for example, in the case of industry maintenance outages and district heat distribution failures.. Backup energy may also be utilized for sporadic processing needs and for handling temporary consumption peaks in the thermal network. It will also save the day in the event of sudden equipment failure.
Featured Case Study
Steam for Emile Huchet Power Plant.
Rapid Start High output, Clayton Steam Generators supply auxiliary steam for France’s largest combined cycle power.
Each of the two Clayton Steam Generators at the Endesa, Emile Huchet Power Plant have a maximum net steam production rate of 13,400 kg/h (10MW) and are available as-and-when required to provide gland sealing for the giant steam turbines. The Clayton Steam Generator is of a unique design that gives maximum operational flexibility and can start-up from cold to full output in 10 to 20 minutes in this large size range.
The gas fired, Emile Huchet Power Plant was built by Siemens Power Generation at the existing power station site in Saint Avold, Lorraine which is 20 kilometers from the French-German border.
