This is a really informative video on the cost savings associated with modular boiler design with Miura.
Thanks to Kansas City Deaerator for providing some of this information
Many deaerators in the past have been built with vent piping that protrudes through the water box to the external portion of the heater allowing the oxygen to be eliminated from the deaerator. Many manufacturers provided a dog leg type vent with a miter joint which typically fails due to inadequate welding where the vent pipe supports the valve plate. This can cause significant loss or performance and effect your energy savings long term. Annual inspections of the welds are recommended to detect such failures or you may be …
A good company doesn’t just sell you the boiler equipment you want; they help you determine the exact boiler equipment you need. Companies are discovering that now is a great time to replace aging boiler room equipment and revamp their current steam generating boiler room equipment. With increasing energy costs companies are interested in maximizing cost savings while still providing the operations they need. Such was the case of the Georgia Carpet Mill manufacturing plant.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has denied a petition from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for an extension in releasing the MACT boiler rules. The MACT, or Maximum Achievable Control Technology, rules are designed to control the release of toxic air emissions such as cadmium, dioxin, furans, formaldehyde, and hydrochloric acid to name a few. Current observers believe that these new standards will be significantly different from the EPA’s April 2010 proposal. The industry is watching these developments closely as the new rules could impose unrealistic or co …
