Near Zero NOx Achieved With Proven Emissions Reduction Technology at Two California Food Facilities
The Californer/10329869

FREMONT, Calif. - Californer -- Nationwide Boiler Inc. has successfully completed two recent boiler projects for leading food producers in California, meeting critical steam capacity needs and strict emissions performance standards. Both systems passed formal compliance source testing with outstanding results, reinforcing Nationwide Boiler's reputation for delivering proven, effective ultra-low NOx solutions that meet California's rigorous regulations and emerging national standards.

The first project involved a custom 300 HP, 150 psig Hurst firetube boiler with an Oilon ultra-low NOx burner. Nationwide Boiler also supplied a new feedwater system and blowdown separator, adding capacity and stabilizing the aging steam plant. Source test results verified average NOx emissions of just 3.1 ppm and less than 2 ppm CO output (corrected to 3% O2). A 3:1 turndown ratio was achieved, with further enhancements underway to reach 4:1 for greater efficiency and flexibility.

The second project used an in-stock 180,000 lb/hr Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) watertube boiler with Nationwide Boiler's proven CataStak™ Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. The CataStak, installed in over 250 applications globally, consistently delivers single-digit NOx emissions. At this facility, source test results showed less than 1.5 ppm NOx, under 1 ppm CO, and sub-3 ppm ammonia slip (corrected to 3% O2). These results exceed the nation's strictest air district standards while boosting efficiency and capacity, ensuring full compliance with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's 2029 regulations.

California continues to enforce strict emissions standards in the nation and industrial facilities across the U.S. are also facing increasingly strict air quality regulations that demand ultra-low NOx solutions. Through these two projects, and many others completed over the years, Nationwide Boiler reinforces its role as a trusted partner for industrial facilities seeking modern, emissions-compliant steam solutions without compromising performance, reliability, or availability.
