Summary: Most retrofit conversations start with the burner or the boiler shell. On a boiler older than fifteen years, the controls panel is also running out of runway. Combustion and Control Solutions (CCS) walks Southeast facility teams through what a controls retrofit involves, when it makes sense, and where it fits...
Summary: Most Southeast plants treat their dual fuel boiler's backup side as a "just in case" system. That mindset is exactly what leaves them stranded when curtailment, storms, or supply disruptions hit. A monthly diesel exercise turns backup capability from a hope into a documented, verified discipline. In the...
Combustion & Control Solutions (CCS) Expands with New Thomasville, Georgia Location Summary: CCS has opened a new office in Thomasville, Georgia, expanding its industrial boiler service coverage across South Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. The new location brings experienced local technicians, faster emergency...
Burner Retrofit vs Boiler Replacement: A Southeast Plant Guide Summary: Choosing between a burner retrofit and a full boiler replacement comes down to three things: the condition of the pressure vessel, how the boiler is actually used day to day, and the code and emissions picture at the site. For most Southeast...
Why Your Boiler Keeps Tripping: Five Problems Preventative Maintenance Can Catch Early Not every boiler shutdown points to a major system problem. In many facilities, the boiler is properly sized, the controls are working correctly, and the system performs well most of the time, yet the boiler still shuts down...
Combustion and Control Solutions Announces Acquisition of Burner Management and Control Systems Design and Fabricator Thermal Economy Addition Marks Strategic Investment in Critical Infrastructure Service and Equipment CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE (January 13, 2025) - Combustion & Control...
According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), natural gas prices have increased by almost 150% from January 2020 to March 2022 – from $2.02/ MMBtu to $4.90/MMBtu. For a mid-sized hospital averaging 300 BHP output (10,042,500 Btu/Hr) 24/7/365, and the boiler has a nominal 80% fuel-to-steam...
Modern burner designs incorporate years of technological development and improvements in reliability and repeatability. Most burner control systems have evolved away from actuators rotating jackshafts connected to linkage levers connected to gas valves and air actuators. These designs are quickly becoming obsolete, and...
For almost 30 years Combustion & Control Solutions has committed to providing industry-leading steam and hot water solutions to customers throughout the Southeast. In a big move to further that commitment, the company has acquired Ostrom Boiler Services of the greater Atlanta area. David Flowers, CEO of...
Is it possible to achieve perfect combustion? The term “Stoichiometric Combustion” refers to the theoretical ideal mixture of oxygen and fuel that produces the most complete combustion, with the highest efficiency and fewer harmful greenhouse gases. Can We Achieve It? Although we strive for this condition, the...
There are three major elements to combustion: A fuel source A supply of oxygen A source of heat or ignition Let’s talk about how these elements work together to create combustion. Fuel: Natural Gas and Methane One of the most popular fuel sources for combustion in heating homes, commercial buildings,...
When burning fuel – whether in a boiler, a furnace, an oven, or another piece of equipment, we should try to meet three major objectives: Burn efficiently: Burning fuel efficiently results in the greatest possible heat value out of the fuel’s potential. Burn cleanly: Burning fuel cleanly prevents toxic...
