FREMONT, Calif. — Nationwide Boiler Inc. recently commissioned a new 250 hp Superior package firetube boiler for Taiga/Exterior Wood, a supplier of pressure-treated wood. The equipment was sold and commissioned by the company’s controls division, Nationwide Control Solutions, located a mile from the customer’s facility in Washougal, Washington.
Equipped with an Oilon LN30 ultra-low NOx burner and Nationwide’s Eagle PLC-based Control System, the 250 hp package boiler achieved average emissions performance of 5 ppm NOx and 0 ppm CO (corrected to 3% O2) during third-party testing. These results satisfied the NOx emission requirement of 12 ppm mandated by the Southwest Clean Air Agency (SCAA), the organization responsible for overseeing policies and regulations for air pollution control within the jurisdiction. The results also validate the Oilon LN30 burner as a single-digit, ultra-low NOx burner solution for package boiler applications, Nationwide said in a press release.
“We are thrilled with the source test results of the package boiler recently sold to Taiga/Exterior Wood,” said Jim Lieskovan, Nationwide’s vice president of sales. “For decades we have been at the forefront of the ultra-low NOx market, providing proven, reliable solutions for package boiler systems.”
Built by Oilon, the LN30 ultra-low NOx burner produces single-digit NOx levels without flue gas recirculation (FGR), combustion air filters, complex controls, or elevated natural gas delivery pressures. Turndown ratios as high as 4:1 can be achieved while satisfying sub-50 ppm CO requirements. The burner has a five-year head warranty combined with a standard one-year parts warranty.
Oilon maintains a large inventory of burners and replacement parts within its Georgia facility, and Oilon burners can be equipped with the PLC-based Eagle Control System or a standard Siemens LMV package.
With headquarters in California, emissions control and sustainable solutions have been a top priority for Nationwide Boiler for decades. The company is a supplier of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for 2.5 ppm NOx on package boilers and other fired equipment applications. Nationwide is a manufacturers representative for Superior Boiler, Oilon, and E-Tech, and its Nationwide Control Solutions is a UL-certified panel-fabrication facility.
