In the Heat of Progress: The Evolution of a Chemical Plant’s Boiler Room

In 2015, a midwestern chemical manufacturer approached their local Superior Boiler representative, Energy Conservation, in their search for boiler room equipment for their manufacturing plant. After collaboration between the manufacturer and the representative, they decided a 750 HP Super Seminole boiler with a 300-psig design pressure was the right fit for them. The customer added a 2-stage condensing economizer and a flash recovery unit for optimal efficiency. They also chose to use Superior Boiler for their feedwater equipment, including a 1,230-gallon spray deaerator and a blowdown separator.

Energy Conservation worked with the manufacturer to get the boiler, the deaerator, and the blowdown separator installed. From there, the customer had steam flowing without any challenges.

Fast forward to mid-2022, the manufacturer, experiencing growth, sought to increase capacity. Since the company hadn’t run into any issues with the original boiler and they trusted Superior equipment, they returned to Energy Conservation for another reliable unit. In 2022, they chose an 800 HP Super Seminole to add to their facility, this unit also featuring a 300-psig design pressure.

By February 2023, the new boiler was installed next to the existing equipment, providing increased capacity and operational redundancy. The 2015 equipment remained in excellent condition, attesting to Superior Boiler’s reliability. The equipment will remain a reliable source of steam for the company for years to come.
