Boilers are an integral part of the processing industry’s success, providing steam for a variety of manufacturing applications. When a facility boiler goes down for planned maintenance or an upset occurs, the lost production time can be costly. 

Replacing non-functioning boiler systems — pressurized vessels placed in a facility to heat water — can take quite a bit of time. Enter the boiler-bypass system: a non-pressurized system that sits outside a facility or building. It heats up hot water, which then goes through the heat exchanger inside the building. Such units can be deployed rapidly and are scalable.

Ed Verderose joined Miura Boilers, Rockmart, Ga., as national accounts manager, a position that is focused on working with businesses and facilities that have multiple locations in the U.S. market. Miura is one of the largest industrial steam boiler manufacturers in the world and manufactures on-demand steam solutions.

In processes that require steam, the boiler is the heart of the operation, and if it fails, production can come to a grinding halt. So, if your industrial process uses steam, it is critical that the boiler and any of its auxiliary parts are in good working order, allowing the system to run most safely, effectively and efficiently.

Line of preengineered, skid-mounted boilers provide the system as prepiped and ready for startup. The company offers boiler skids for its full line of hot water boilers. 

Choosing the right kind of boiler — whether for a new facility or a retrofit - is an important decision. Many plants and facilities rely on steam for applications like heating, cooking, hot water, sterilization and much more.

Series 2000 engineered gasket complements the company’s current product line by providing a sealing alternative to other high pressure boiler gasket designs such as spiral wound and expanded PTFE gaskets.

Harbour Group has purchased Cleaver-Brooks, a provider of boiler room products and systems headquartered in Thomasville, Ga. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
