Today's Boiler

RSS

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, sustainable practices and environmental concerns have taken center stage. Industries are under increased pressure to minimize their carbon footprint while ensuring efficient operations.

Over the past two years, the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) committee has revised and updated the NBIC to ensure it continues to provide up-to-date requirements for the installation, inspection, repair, and alteration of pressure-retaining items and pressure relief devices. 

Modern boiler plants are increasingly focused on energy efficiency, reducing their physical footprint, and minimizing capital and installation costs. 

Welding has become fairly common practice in pressure vessel fabrication and maintenance. From tube ends to plugs, welding can provide additional strength or sealing coverage if done correctly. 

American Boiler Manufacturers Association-certified electrode boiler manufacturer Vapor Power International shares valuable insights about this technology.

The environmental risks associated with carbon emissions have escalated over the last several decades. While modern technologies, such as industrial burner and boiler systems, have enhanced our standard of living, they have contributed to these rising emissions. 

Companies wanting to expedite their decarbonization efforts should take a fresh look at recent developments in commercial boiler technology to better understand how these products can be leveraged to fit their needs. 

Inspections should be an integral part of any plant maintenance program, even if state or local government does not enforce a boiler statute.

Currently, fossil fuels have a tremendously strong position in the energy sector, while the trend for the future is clearly shifting toward sustainable solutions. 

Traditionally, hospitals relied heavily on steam as their heat energy “lifeblood.” Steam was a critical medium to feed processes such as building heat, humidification, sterilization, domestic hot water, on-site laundry, labs, and kitchens.
