Routine Pump Maintenance
A pump maintenance program would generally involve a periodic check of the pump performance, an inspection of the wearing parts and lubrication of bearings and joints. Spotting an issue early is one of the best methods of troubleshooting and preventing pump breakdown. Routine pump maintenance helps keep the system performing efficiently. Physical inspection As often
Petroleum Bulk Storage Underground Tank Tightness Testing Introduction
A tightness test is a means of determining whether a storage tank and/or its piping system are leaking. DEC requires using a test that can detect a tank or piping leak of 0.1 gallons per hour (gph) (with a probability of at least 95% and no more than 5% probability of false alarm. The test
Condensate Neutralizing Kits
What are condensate neutralizer kits? Condensate neutralizer kits are designed to raise the PH of the condensate on condensing boilers prior to being discharged into a drain. Since the condensate is acidic, without the presence of one, you run the risk of damaging your buildings’ drainage system. Manufacturers of condensing boilers such as Aerco, Lochinvar,
The Importance of Low Water Cutoff Maintenance
What are Low Water Cutoffs? Low water cutoff controls are safety devices on steam boilers that are designed to shut the boiler off in the event it runs low on water. When a steam boiler runs lows on water and does not shut down a “dry fire” could result. A “dry fire” is when there
The Importance of Refractory in a Boiler
Boilers are impressive devices designed to withstand intense heat and pressure with minimal maintenance. But, over time, they will require more and more fuel to give the same performance. Did you know that the number one reason for this is the erosion of the refractory material? As the refractory material inside your boiler slowly wears
Peter Luger Boiler Replacement in Brooklyn
Back in the summer of 2018, the good old days before COVID19, C.C. Controlled Combustion Co. Inc. was hired for a boiler replacement at the culinary icon that is Peter Luger’s Steakhouse in Brooklyn, NY. Here are some of the details of this project. C.C. Controlled Combustion Co.
