		• Guidelines for Preparing for a Temporary Steam Plant (Emergency Preparedness Plan) When operating a steam plant, there are many factors which determine the reliability and availability of a steam supply. Whether the steam is used to power a system or as a part of a process, the mechanical engineers and power plant operators know that in the majority of installations, management expects the system to run 24 hours per day throughout the year. Real-world conditions make this impossible. This guide is a useful tool to aid in planning for installing a temporary steam plant, before the need actually arises. More...
		Today's Boiler - Rental Boiler Guidelines & Considerations Renting a boiler may never be quite as easy as renting that convertible on your vacation, but with a little advanced planning and by exercising a little caution when evaluating the boiler supplier, the equipment, and the proposal, you can avoid most potential problems that you might not otherwise consider. More...
		Today's Boiler - Maximum Efficiency Minimum Emissions With air quality regulations tightening and multiple strategies for efficiency available, it is up to the end user to make sure that today's boiler systems meet the needs and rules today and in the long-run. This article discusses current technologies that provide the benefits of low emissions and high efficiency, which provide significant decreases in operating costs along with operational benefits. A recent boiler retrofit project highlights this success in the real world at a CA University. More...
		• Today's Boiler - Total Plant Solutions: The SCR Approach Companies today face many operating challenges including meeting current and future air emission requirements, energy efficiency demands, safety requirements, and tough economic conditions.  Equipment providers must offer technology solutions that not only provide a favorable return on investment and profitability, but must also consider the technology’s total cost of ownership and future compliance readiness. This primer on selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology discusses its case as an alternative to burner technologies. It also provides case studies where the CataStak™ SCR System provided proven, reliable low NOx results. More...
		• Process Heating - Managing Emissions Emissions from combustion systems have been regulated by local and federal governments since the early 1960s. During the 1990s, industrial boilers were heavily targeted, due in part by the Clean Air Act, and end users addressed regulatory air emission reductions specifically associated with nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Industry quickly responded and energy conversion system designs were focused heavily on providing high efficiency and low emissions performance. This gave birth to the CataStak™ SCR System. More...
		• 10 Ways to Improve Efficiency for Gas-fired Boilers The potential for energy improvements and cost savings are substantial, when considering that most boilers operating today are performing at efficiencies that are less than 81%.  The general guidelines listed in this publication take a total boiler systems approach in managing boiler efficiency (for natural gas-fired boilers), which can instantly improve overall boiler performance and sustainability, helping to achieve more cost-effective maintenance and operations of your steam system.

		• NAPE - Rental Boiler Considerations Companies require rental equipment for several reasons. By understanding the rental process and following the guidelines below, it is possible that the result will be both cost-effective and technically successful. This article, published in the Journal of the National Association of Power Engineers, Inc., briefly outlines the items you must take notice of before making a final decision on renting equipment. More...
		• Boiler Systems Engineering - Low NOx Beginning in the 1950's, our nation's environmental agencies sought ways to improve the quality of our air. Gas-guzzling automobiles and factories belching tons of pollutants daily were the first targets. By now, we are all witness to the tremendous progress that has been made. But as our population continues to expand and greater amounts of fossil fuels are consumed, other sources of air pollution have been targeted. In the decade of the 1990s, industrial boilers became one of the new targets. Where once boiler emissions were unregulated, now numerous local, state, and federal agencies closely monitor and control allowable emissions. More...
		• Boiler Systems Engineering - Renting a Boiler If renting a temporary steam plant were only as easy as renting a car. Unfortunately, the ease or difficulty associated with renting a boiler depends on the amount of advanced planning that goes into the project and the attention paid to details during the entire proposal/evaluation/contracting process. By following a few guidelines, some of which are common sense but some a bit less obvious, it is possible and, in fact, probable that the result will be both technically successful and cost-effective.
