New BPS Project Awarded to Nationwide Boiler Inc.

The world’s largest exporter of California wines selected Nationwide Boiler to provide a Best Performance Standards (BPS) boiler system to help the company meet new emission and efficiency standards.  Not only will the company’s equipment be more environmentally friendly, but it will also benefit from valuable energy savings from the installation of a CataStak SCR system, energy efficient EconStak economizer, and VFD installation.  Nationwide Boiler is also providing a used 800 HP Cleaver-Brooks firetube boiler for the project.  Installation is planned for summer 2012.

Major Pharmaceutical Significantly Reduces NOx with a Catastak-FT

Nationwide Boiler supplied a CataStak-FT for one of the nation's largest pharmaceutical companies on the West Coast. The project involved the retrofit of a 1000 HP Kewanee boiler operating with a new Limpsfield combustion control burner. Third party source tests confirmed NOx emissions of 0.6 ppm, CO emissions of <2.0 and ammonia slip of 7.1 (each corrected to 3% O2). These results verify that the CataStak truly does provide the lowest emission limits available.

CataStak SCR System Installation List Exceeds Ninety

The sale and rental of the CataStak SCR system has steadily increased over the last year. Nationwide recently completed the design, engineering and assembly of two CataStak-GT systems for a major refiner in California to aid in down hole steam injection. To date Nationwide Boiler has successfully installed over ninety CataStak SCR units and each one has never failed a third party source test.

New BPS Boiler Supplied for Food Processor

A CA food processor recently purchased a new BPS boiler system equipped with the latest emission controls and efficiency upgrades. A 125,000 pph Nebraska watertube boiler, set to operate at 400 psig with natural gas, was supplied by Nationwide. It included a CataStak SCR system for near zero NOx operation and an EconoStak economizer for added fuel efficiency.

Four New CataStak SCR Units in Full Compliance for Major Refiner in the Midwest

Nationwide supplied four CataStak SCR systems with EconoStak economizers to a major refiner in the Midwest needing to upgrade their boiler systems to meet a governmental consent decree for emission control. Four 177,000 pph boilers were upgraded with the CataStak SCR system to help lower NOx emissions from 270 ppm to less than 9 ppm NOx. An aqueous ammonia delivery systems was also supplied. Overall, the refiner had a total NOx reduction of 97%.

Local Compliance Updates

As emissions continued to decline over the last decade, SCR technology has proven to be the wisest and most cost effective technology available. Currently, NOx emission requirements are as low as 5 ppm in some areas, and it is predicted that after 2015 these limits will decrease even further, once current rules expire.
