Innovative Steam Technologies
Cambridge, ON
Company Overview
Innovative Steam Technologies (IST) engineers and manufactures Once-Through heat recovery Steam Generators (OTSGs) / 'boilers' to recover the heat from the gas turbine exhaust stream.
In general OTSGs can be used by most electricity power plants and steam generating centers, various industrial complexes (semiconductor fabs, pulp & paper mills, textile manufacturers, glass manufacturers, etc.), mining corporations, large centers requiring stable and flexible electricity (hotels, office buildings, hospitals, universities, sports complexes, factories, etc.), and even organizations that require large amounts of steam such as desalination plants.
IST is owned by AECON. AECON is the largest publicly traded Canadian Construction Company with revenues of over $1 billion per year. We are also part of Hochtief. IST is the only proven manufacturer of once through heat recovery steam generators (OTSG) in the world. ISTs OTSG enjoys numerous advantages over conventional drum-type heat recovery steam generators including the following:
- Simple operation - steam drums and complex control systems
are eliminated making the OTSG capable of remote attended or unmanned operation.
- Simple and economical site installation that minimizes site
costs and associated project risks.
- Capable of dry operation, therefore a bypass stack is not
required and the steam system can operate independent of the gas turbine.
- More efficient due to elimination of a bypass stack and
associated leakage as well as blowdown losses.
- Chemical injection to the steam drum is not required,
therefore this system is eliminated.
- Due to minimal instrumentation and drainability, a building
enclosure is not required in severe climates. This eliminates a costly enclosure from the project.
- Lowest installed and life cycle costs.
Installed & life-cycle benefits of our OTSG boiler make it much more efficient & less expensive than some FREE drum-type boilers! OTSG can sometimes provide 20 weeks savings from shorter installation times; = $48 MILLION savings from more power production! OTSGS smaller, lighter & modular design can allow 5 months faster erection completion, especially in smaller, more compact areas. An OTSG project can also experience over $4 million savings in installation / erection expenses and over $9 million savings from improved operational efficiencies over traditional drum type boilers. Our boiler has been shown to improve total power plant profit 3% of which the profit from the steam turbine improves 13.85%. We have experienced 75% erection cost savings. Values noted above were supplied by customer with 4xLM6000 + 4xOTSGs + ST & may vary by region or design. This info is for promotional purposes only. Even if values are reduced, the OTSG is still more economical & efficient than DRUM type boilers!
The above characteristics make the OTSG ideal for the following applications:
- Heat recovery in combined cycle and cogeneration plants.
- Heat recovery utilizing the waste heat from natural gas
pipeline compressor drives.
- Heat recovery for steam injection for gas turbine NOx
control, power augmentation and cooling purposes.
- Heat recovery & steam for pulp and paper mills, textile
mills, manufacturing complexes, etc.
- Heat recovery for barge and marine based combined cycle plants
IST currently has close to 100 OTSGs spread across four continents. Our technology has been examined and accepted by many customers including global players such as the following:
- GE Power Systems, USA
- NEL Power, UK
- Calpine, USA
- Altek Alarko, Turkey
- TransAlta Utilities, Canada, USA, New Zealand
- GE Nuovo Pignone, Italy
- Westcoast Energy, Canada
- TransCanada PipeLines, Canada
- Solar Turbines, USA, Australia
- Alstom (ABB Power Generation), Puerto Rico
Our size range currently handles gas turbines from 5 to 60 MW for combined cycle and cogeneration applications and the entire gas turbine range for steam injection/cooling applications.

As a summary of our company and our product; IST designs and manufactures Once-Through heat recovery Steam Generators (OTSGs), which are used in the power generation sector. The OTSGs are simple, continuous flow boilers that convert feedwater into high purity steam. The OTSGs are best suited technically and economically for combined cycle power generation, cogeneration and gas turbine power augmentation applications.
The OTSG has many notable features mainly, full dry running capabilities, which eliminates the need for a bypass stack and damper. The OTSG requires significantly fewer parts and the installation is accomplished faster and at a much lower cost than the typical drum-type HRSGs, due to the relatively higher amount of factory assembly and testing that is completed prior to shipment. The system has a once through flow path; therefore no steam drums or blowdown systems are required. The OTSG demonstrates a significant improvement over the natural circulation drum-type units. It offers high availability, proven experience, and cost savings benefits.
