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.”

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.”
