Engineered Products

Optimus Engineered Products group capitalizes on Chanute's manufacturing capabilities and expertise to provide custom designed waste heat recovery heat transfer equipment for process industries worldwide.

Economizers

Economizers are used to recover the useful heat in exhaust or flue gas before it is released into the atmosphere and transfer it to the steam production cycle. This increases the overall boiler thermal efficiency, resulting in more steam with less fuel. Boiler efficiency increases by approximately 1% for every 40°F the flue gas is cooled. It is widely accepted in the industry that economizers provide a good return on investment and also help reduce carbon emissions.

HRSG Components

Chanute Manufacturing’s history of HRSG manufacturing is long and storied. Since the early 1980’s Chanute has produced more HRSG’s than any facility in North America. From the first cogen “PURPA” machines to latest’s triple pressure reheat units behind F and G class turbines Chanute’s experience and product depth is unmatched.

Sulfuric Acid Plants

Optimus has been designing and manufacturing units for sulfuric acid plants since 1993 and has the necessary experience not only to design them, but to fabricate them with the highest standards of quality and workmanship. Plant operators want and depend on reliable equipment and Optimus/Chanute strives to provide the best in the industry. Because Chanute constantly fabricates tubular boiler equipment for the power and petrochemical industries, our ASME-certified pressure part welders are held to a higher standard of performance, and that workmanship goes into all of our products because we don't know any other way.

Utility Boiler

Chanute Tubular Services incorporates all of the manufacturing capabilities and expertise of the Chanute Manufacturing plant, plus the tubular processing equipment necessary to provide components and assemblies ranging from individual bent tubes to complete replacement coils.

Contract Fabrication

Chanute Manufacturing Company fabricates a variety of heat transfer equipment on a contract basis. For years Chanute has produced large frame HRSG’s, industrial packaged boilers and related heat recovery products for the major OEM’s. Chanute’s facility, equipment and experience provide customers unmatched capability in the fabrication of large industrial equipment. Our quality systems, production control and project management systems separate us from other companies and ensure successful project execution and delivery.
