- Location: Burrillville Middle School, Pascoag, RI
- Scope: Replace the existing leaking #2 cast iron boiler with a new high efficiency Hurst steel firetube boiler packaged with a dual fuel S.T. Johnson burner firing #2 oil and gas.
- Goal: To provide equipment that increases operating efficiency & reliability and offers ease of ongoing maintenance.
- Awarded as a turnkey installation: IBS manages all phases of the project - from demolition to start-up and commissioning.
Phase One: Removal of Old Equipment
Phase Two: Installation of New Equipment
Make note of that piping job:
Domestic material expertly fitted and hung, all painted or crisply covered for that fine white finished look. Above you see one header taken out and the other utilized as is, a 6" gate valve operable from the floor, and green blowdown lines running parallel with the floor. |
New Boiler: The Hurst Model LPE100 is a three-pass modified scotch, steel firetube boiler constructed for 15 PSI steam. If a tube ever needs to be replaced, the tube sheet is so thick it doesn't require expensive certified welding. The LPE boiler has virtually no refractory, just a burner "dry oven", eliminating costly refractory maintenance.
Burner: The S.T. Johnson Model FD68CA125LM is a forced draft axial flow burner, firing both natural gas and air atomizing #2 oil. Johnson's design features heavy duty construction for superior performance, quiet operation, and ease of service. |

Custom oil pump set equipped with VFDs for each pump motor. The VFDs operate in conjunction with a pressure transmitter located in the supply line to a characterized burner oil metering valve (see Johnson burner photo above).
This method of fuel oil control completely eliminates the need for oil pressure regulating valves and provides a precise and constant oil pressure to the oil metering valve, regardless of firing rate.
