Nationwide Boiler Inc. has completed a boiler project for a major food manufacturer in California, meeting both steam capacity requirements and strict emission standards. The system successfully passed compliance testing with excellent results, reinforcing Nationwide Boiler’s position as a provider of effective NOx reduction solutions — not only meeting California’s stringent regulations but also aligning with requirements being adopted across the United States.

The equipment includes a customized 300 HP Hurst firetube boiler, operating at 150 psig, integrated with an Oilon ultra-low NOx burner. The system delivers impressive performance: average NOx emissions of just 3.1 ppm and CO below 2 ppm (corrected to 3% O₂), significantly lower than permitted thresholds. A 3:1 turndown ratio has been validated, and the project team is currently optimizing to achieve a 4:1 turndown, further enhancing efficiency and operational flexibility. This solution not only strengthens the plant’s aging steam system but also sets a new benchmark for clean combustion technology in the food processing industry.
