Superior Boiler was recently awarded a contract for a major boiler room expansion at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Superior was selected through a competitive bid process based upon providing the best overall value for the project.

 

Superior will supply Dalhousie with two Shawnee model-style watertube boilers, D-type with a square furnace. Each includes Superior-manufactured economizers and is designed to deliver up to 85,000 pounds per hour of steam capability. The boilers will be equipped with burners supplied from Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Zeeco capable of firing on both natural gas and oil, along with an Allen-Bradley combustion controls package. Both boilers incorporate the latest technology to maintain low emissions and optimize operating efficiency. The boilers will be manufactured at Superior's Richmond, Virginia, facility.

 

"Superior has a long and proud history providing boilers for major university projects across North America, and we are extremely pleased to have been selected for this project award," said Superior Boiler-Richmond National Sales Manager Ryan Poznanczyk. "These projects are very competitive and require great attention to what the customer is asking for. Dalhousie University used a rigorous process in evaluating proposals, and our being chosen is a testament to the overall quality product we pride ourselves on delivering to customers. We look forward to supporting the university on this exciting project."
