Go with a traditional industrial gas boiler

Gas boilers run on propane or natural gas, which are among the most efficient fuel sources available. The drawback is that these types of boilers require a separate boiler room to house the condensate pipe system that collects the moisture produced during the process.

I recommend: Nationwide Boiler offers gas boilers ranging in size and also offers refurbished and used industrial boilers. Choose your application type at The Babcock & Wilcox Company and view a selection of industrial steam boilers that are sure to suit your needs.

Consider a safe electric industrial boiler

Using electric boilers can be more economical than gas for a few reasons: You don't have to have a separate boiler room, there is no plumbing to install and there is no flame that can pose a hazard to your plant and its employees.

I recommend: Select from four electric models offered by Reimers Electra Steam. Choose from low capacity to high capacity models from Bryan Steam.

Equip your factory with productive industrial multi-fuel boilers

Multi-fuel burners are unique in that they have at least two furnaces in which to fire different fuels. You can burn a different fuel in each chamber to maximize efficiency, and you have the option of running only one furnace at a time to clean out the other furnace from time to time. That way you don't lose productivity during maintenance.

I recommend: Check out the multi-fuel boiler at Walia Engineering Associates; it can operate on wood, coal, natural gas, rice husk and a few other types of fuel. Thermtech Industries offers a high efficiency multi-fuel steam boiler in five different models, depending on your output needs.
