Boilers

A boiler is a sealed pressure vessel that heats water or produces steam using electricity, gas or other fuels to provide energy for heating, processing or power generation.

A boiler heats water to produce either hot water or steam. In homes it feeds radiators or under‑floor heating; in industry it supplies process heat for food production, chemical plants, power generation, cleaning and sterilisation.

Not exactly. Both appliances heat water, but a boiler is engineered to deliver hot water and high‑pressure steam for space heating or industrial processes, while a water heater only warms potable water for household taps and showers.

Start by adding 20 % to your peak steam or hot‑water demand to cover spikes and future growth. Our engineers run detailed load‑profiling and can refine the figure during a free sizing consultation. Contact Us

Electric boilers offer 99 % efficiency and zero on‑site emissions; fire‑tube units suit 500 kW – 12 MW ranges with quick start‑up times; water‑tube designs handle 4 MW – 60 MW and high‑pressure, high‑volume industrial loads.

Most unattended or limited‑attendance boilers still require a trained person on site. We provide boiler operator training programs. Boiler Operation Training

Absolutely. Economisers, variable‑speed pumps and oxygen‑trim controls can be integrated at any stage to lift thermal efficiency by up to 6–10 % and shorten payback times.

With correct water treatment and annual servicing, an industrial boiler will run 20–30 years; control systems may need upgrades every 8–10 years.

Allow clearance equal to the boiler’s footprint on all sides for safe maintenance access. A 3 MW fire‑tube unit usually occupies about 15 m², plus room for pumps, water‑treatment skid and flue.
