Bloom Engineering Company History
Bloom Engineering, founded in 1934, serves the world market through its Pittsburgh headquarters, wholly owned subsidiaries operating in Europe, license partners and a worldwide network of sales offices and representatives. Bloom Engineering, a combustion oriented company, serves basic industry with particularly strong roots in steel and aluminum.
Over forty years ago, Bloom developed the unique baffle burner concept which is still applied to its large, and many of its smaller, direct fired burners. Bloom's modern recuperative radiant tube burner has its origins in the early 1950s, as does Ka-Weld@, Bloom's line of refractory shapes for insulating water-cooled furnace members.
Complementary products including controls, valves, prefabricated pipe racks, ladle and tundish heating and drying stations and related combustion equipment coupled with modern manufacturing facilities and an extensive research and development complex provide diversity and support to the core business. Repair, maintenance, burner upgrade and equipment remanufacture services offered by Bloom's shop insures original quality and lower overall costs while increasing craft labor availability at the customer's plant.
Most of the world recognizes the necessity of reducing NOx emissions. Although most of Bloom's original burners were inherently low NOx designs, modifications have lowered emissions even further to meet the challenges presented by clean air requirements making Bloom a world leader in this technology. With the development of regenerative burners, Bloom's low NOx baffle innovations successfully solved the challenges presented by regeneration's high temperature combustion air characteristics. To meet radiant tube burner users' improved air quality requirements, Bloom implemented creative design changes.
Bloom demands that burner innovations reach the market with uncompromised thermal performance and the ability to use a wide range of fuels, which usually includes oil. Bloom strengthens its historical reputation for low carbon monoxide emission leadership and rugged construction with each new offering.
Bloom's Ka-Weld preformed insulating shapes, a product with a payback measured in days rather than months or years, reduces furnace fuel consumption accounting for its economic benefits. As a consequence of lower fuel use, NOx CO2 and CO emissions decrease. Because of its construction and Bloom's innovative designs, Ka-Weld has built a well-deserved reputation for long life and easy replacement with no controlled furnace heat-up requirement. Other Bloom refractory products include preformed ports to reduce furnace rebuilding time. Additional value accrues to the customer through Bloom's unequalled field and support service.
