  1. Nationwide Boiler Inc., Fremont, CA (United States)

Gas and oil fired package boilers rated at 20,000-50,000 lb/hr are discussed. The fleet consists of approximately 75 units, divided into two basic groups: (1) mobile boiler rooms - these consist of van mounted firetube boilers from 100-350 hp, complete with feedwater systems and water treatment equipment; and (2) trailer-mounted boilers - these consist of {open_quotes}O{close_quotes} type watertube boilers from 24,000 - 120,000 lb/hr, specially designed and mounted on highway legal lowboy trailers for mobility. Other products include new and reconditioned skid-mounted package boilers up to 150,000 lb/hr, turnkey {open_quotes}fast track{close_quotes} steam plants, and custom designed mobile or transportable steam plants for sale or lease. One of the earlier introductions into low NOx technology was a new equipment sale to Union Oil in Arroyo Grande, CA in 1983. A 100,000 lb/hr custom designed boiler with side wall NOx ports and low excess air burner to meet 80 ppm on natural gas was supplied. With the enactment of 40ppm low NOx mandates in Southern California in 2987, it was necessary to quickly retrofit the rental fleet and to work closely with boiler and burner manufacturers to meet the new standards.
