At industrial plants, even a minor imbalance in fans or other rotating components can cause serious damage over time—which can come at a hefty cost. According to a 2023 ABB report , industrial businesses spend close to $125,000 per hour on unplanned downtime. Many of these instances can be attributed… Read More
Industrial facilities—such as chemical processing, waste management, and cement plants—depend on controlling air and gas flow for smooth operations. Research shows that inefficient airflow means higher energy costs as systems work harder to compensate. Additionally, without proper regulation of air and gasses, industries risk pressure surges, fire hazards, and equipment… Read More
There are countless commercial biomass boilers in the United States that generate energy from various biomass sources, from softwood and hardwood to forest trimmings, grasses, paper waste, and agricultural byproducts. To learn more about the products and maintenance services we offer for biomass boiler systems, contact our experts! During the… Read More
Boilers are essential pieces of equipment for power plants. Without a fully-functional boiler, the plant’s power generation capabilities are inefficient – or, worse, sidelined indefinitely. As boilers age – and as your plant undergoes transformation, particularly if you convert from coal to biomass – you’ll need to maintain their level… Read More
