Boiler Types We Specialize In

National ensures your coal boiler operates at the highest levels of efficiency

Coal boilers are commonly used to heat water and create steam for energy production. Coal-fired boiler efficiency can often provide lower operating costs in comparison to other fossil fuels – almost 75% less than oil or natural gas. Coal, when properly handled and combusted, is one of the cleanest fossil fuels available today.

National offers expert field services, including repair, fabrication, and installations to help operate and maintain your coal boiler at the highest efficiency levels possible.

Capabilities and Systems Serviced

We understand that a quick response is critical when process and power applications are at stake. Our crew of safety-conscious and highly-trained employees - including code certified and skilled welders - is available to get your coal boiler back online with minimal down time. National also provides essential component upgrades and field services for coal boilers, including:

National services common gas boiler problems, ensuring quick and efficient heating for multiple applications

Industrial gas boilers are primarily used for heating water for the creation of process steam. Plants commonly use natural gas boilers to produce power for multiple applications.

A distinct advantage of the industrial gas boilers is the availability of natural gas resources and its high energy-to-heat ratio. National Boiler Service specializes in servicing common industrial gas boiler problems, as well as installing replacement gas boilers to maintain high efficiencies.

Capabilities and Systems Serviced

National is prepared to meet your gas boiler installation, maintenance, or repair needs. Call us when erecting a new boiler or repairing/retrofitting an existing industrial gas-fired boiler for expert consultation.   We also offer component upgrades and field services, including:

National specializes in servicing the heart of the pulp and paper industry

Recovery boilers were first invented in the early 1930s and have since been a key player in the Kraft process of pulping.

While replacement of recovery boilers does not usually happen until the end of their economic lifetime (a lifespan that can average up to 40 years), upgrading your recovery boiler system to meet modern standards provides new opportunities to optimize energy savings and reduce emissions.

Capabilities and Systems Serviced

National has Pulp & Paper teams devoted to servicing waste heat recovery boilers and related components. Our field services range from assistance in scheduling your next planned shutdown and boiler condition assessments to immediate response when emergency situations occur.

We provide installation of the latest technology and modularized components to increase the overall efficiency of your recovery boiler and reduce maintenance. We also offer essential component upgrades and field services for recovery boilers, including:

Environmental Systems

Maintaining maximum efficiency

Bark boilers are primarily used in pulp and paper mills to produce process steam for paper production. These boilers are especially efficient in the production of pulp and paper, as bark is a waste by-product of previous processes involved in paper making. Steam is generated when the bark waste is burned and converted to process steam that turns a turbine to produce electrical power.

National can help the Pulp & Paper industry optimize the production of energy from wood waste and reduce overall energy costs. National can also help bark boilers maintain maximum efficiency through preventive maintenance and periodic upgrades.

Capabilities and Systems Serviced

National understands that most of the problems associated with bark boilers are related to inadequate mixing between the combustible gases and air. National specializes in preventative maintenance and boiler optimization to safeguard against this and other common bark boiler problems. In addition to bark boiler installations and emergency repairs, National also provides essential component upgrades and field services for bark boilers, including:

High efficiency package boiler systems

National installs high performance package boiler systems that meet your unique application requirements.

High efficiency package boiler types are available in watertube, firetube, or hybrid boilers, and can range in horsepower and pounds of steam per hour. Each package boiler includes all controls, piping, and pumps necessary for installation and commissioning.

Capabilities and Systems Serviced

National provides on-site installation and emergency repair of all complete boiler systems - even those we did not build. National can also upgrade, modify, or reconfigure package boilers for multiple heating and processing needs.  We also provide component upgrades and field services for alternative fuel boilers and solid fuel fired boilers, including:
