This award, which includes a Shawnee Ds-style watertube boiler and similar size spray-type deaerator, reinforces Superior Boiler’s strong momentum in the utility and energy sectors.

The project continues a robust trend of successful engagements with leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms, solidifying Superior Boiler’s reputation for delivering reliable, efficient and cost-effective solutions.

“The award also marks a repeat order from a valued customer who previously purchased a Shawnee Ds-style watertube boiler and deaerator in October 2019 – equipment that remains in operation and continues to perform reliably ,” said Doug Wright, President & CEO of Superior Boiler. “The newly awarded project reflects the customer’s continued confidence in Superior Boiler’s manufacturing performance and engineering excellence.”

This rendering of a Shawnee Ds-style watertube boiler and deaerator purchased by the Gulf Coast client in October 2019 is similar to the Shawnee Ds-style watertube boiler and similar size spray-type deaerator that will be developed under the new contract.

The Shawnee Ds-style boiler, a patented design from Superior Boiler, offers a compact footprint with significant advantages in capital cost savings, operational efficiency and enhanced performance. The new unit is designed for a 65,000 lb./hr. capacity with a 550-psig design pressure. Paired with a customized deaerator, the package will deliver dependable steam generation and water treatment for the utility’s operations . Superior Boiler’s ability to provide a full line of boiler room solutions – including boilers, deaerators and other auxiliary equipment – ensures customers receive a fully integrated and engineered package tailored to their specific requirements.

“We are proud to continue earning the trust of our EPC partners and repeat clients for projects of this scale,” Wright said. “The Gulf Coast is a vital region for energy infrastructure, and our equipment plays an essential role in supporting those operations with long-term reliability and value.”

This latest award builds on Superior Boiler’s strong track record of securing major contracts and highlights the company’s ongoing leadership in the industrial boiler and energy solutions market.
