According to the Trump administration, the EPA’s repeal of the Obama-era Clean Power Plan will bring back the fossil fuel industry and relax emissions standards for reducing greenhouse gases.

With the future of EPA compliance assurance and enforcement in a state of flux based on recently proposed budget cuts and agency downsizing, the demand for low and ultra low NOx emissions will likely remain a requirement in many cases for boiler operators.

Boilers and auxiliary equipment need to be evaluated and upgraded periodically to ensure operational function and efficiency, operator safety and protection from unexpected outages. Investment on the front end can pay big dividends with long term savings.

Innovative design, reduced space requirement and efficiency improvement are making XID boilers a growing norm for new builds and retubing projects.

There are many factors to consider when identifying the right boiler type for your application needs. The firetube vs. watertube debate is bit like comparing apples and oranges.

Routine stack testing & air emission monitoring is required to demonstrate compliance with the EPA's Clean Air Act, and specific NSPS, NESHAP, and MACT programs.

The variance to the 20 minute boiler check rule established in 1955 helps boiler attendants accomplish more and keep operational costs down.
