We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Boilers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Looking for flowmeters at MTEC? Try Titan from
Titan Enterprises, which we summarised at the time by saying "When you have been confused by all the various flowmeters on display at MTEC, consult Titan Enterprises for advice on how to choose an accurate liquid flow measurement system for your
application".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Elga maintains BP water plant reliability from
Elga Process Water: "Elga Process Water was on hand to provide engineering repairs when the ion exchange plant feeding steam generators for the BP Hull site acetic acid plant showed signs of failure".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Maxsys
concerning its Fuel+ at Bridgend
- take a look at Maxsys Fuel+ saves 5.1% on Hospital fuel bill
which says: "Fuel+ energy saving systems supplied and installed by Maxsys are providing improved efficiency to three steam-raising boilers at The Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend".
Take a look also at the news release from Babcock Wanson UK, Plain Steaming with the BW72H boiler control,
as well as Controls for supercritical coal-fired power plant from Yokogawa Europe - Industrial Automation,
and Elga Process Water gives Isle of Grain a makeover from Elga Process Water.
