Pacific Combustion Engineering, a division of Nationwide Boiler Inc., has been awarded two large contracts to replace aging boilers and related equipment at Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals in the Pacific Northwest. The company worked closely with both mechanical contractors, as well as the equipment manufacturers, to provide a custom-engineered solution that complies with the unique specifications of each project. Nationwide Boiler Project Engineer, Nic Petty, has been selected to manage each project along-side Pacific Combustion Sales Manager, Mike Dorthalina, and Sales Engineer, Matt Pope.
The first contract includes the sale of three (3) 250 hp Mohican model, 4-pass wetback, low-pressure Superior firetube boilers, each equipped with a Webster dual fuel burner. The second contract includes the sale of three (3) 200 hp Wichita model, 2-pass wetback, high-pressure Superior firetube boilers, also each equipped with a Webster dual fuel burner. Each burner has been designed to include flue gas recirculation (FGR) for low NOx operation, as well as NFPA 85 compliant fuel trains and FM-approved components. Various boiler auxiliaries will also be supplied to support both VA projects.
