Firetube Boiler Advantages

Firetube, Scotch Marine boilers have been used throughout the world for over a century and have been one of the mainstays behind process steam applications and industrial heating plants.

The design of the current boiler products has been in place for well over 30 years. However, both market conditions and a demand for furnace chambers that will be compatible to low NOx combustion systems have resulted in a need for new, innovative firetube boiler design.

The two generic boiler designs –watertube and firetube– are available to meet industrial and commercial steam needs. Choosing the best boiler for each application is critical for the long term success of every project. Proper selection can save the end user hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the boiler. It is easy to see why thorough understanding of boiler designs is necessary when it is time to choose.
