COAL BOILERS
NBS ensures your coal boiler operates at the highest levels of efficiency
Coal boilers are commonly used to heat water and create steam for energy production. Coal-fired boiler efficiency can often provide lower operating costs in comparison to other fossil fuels – almost 75% less than oil or natural gas. Coal, when properly handled and combusted, is one of the cleanest fossil fuels available today.
​
NBS offers expert field services, including repair, fabrication, and installations to help operate and maintain your coal boiler at the highest efficiency levels possible.

Contact us or call (877) 360-0858 if you have questions about installing, upgrading, or replacing your coal boiler.
GAS BOILERS
NBS services common gas boiler problems, ensuring quick and efficient heating for multiple applications
Industrial gas boilers are primarily used for heating water for the creation of process steam. Plants commonly use natural gas boilers to produce power for multiple applications.
A distinct advantage of the industrial gas boilers is the availability of natural gas resources and its high energy-to-heat ratio. National Boiler Service specializes in servicing common industrial gas boiler problems, as well as installing replacement gas boilers to maintain high efficiencies.

​
Contact us or call (877) 360-0858 if you have questions about installing, upgrading, or replacing your gas boiler.
RECOVERY BOILERS
NBS specializes in servicing the heart of the pulp and paper industry
Recovery boilers were first invented in the early 1930s and have since been a key player in the Kraft process of pulping.
While replacement of recovery boilers does not usually happen until the end of their economic lifetime (a lifespan that can average up to 40 years), upgrading your recovery boiler system to meet modern standards provides new opportunities to optimize energy savings and reduce emissions.
​
Capabilities and Systems Serviced
NBS has Pulp & Paper teams devoted to servicing waste heat recovery boilers and related components. Our field services range from assistance in scheduling your next planned shutdown and boiler condition assessments to immediate response when emergency situations occur.
We provide installation of the latest technology and modularized components to increase the overall efficiency of your recovery boiler and reduce maintenance. We also offer essential component upgrades and field services for recovery boilers, including:
​
-
Air Systems
-
Pressure Parts
-
Fuel Systems
-
Environmental Systems
​
Contact us or call (877) 360-0858 if you have questions about installing, upgrading, or replacing your recovery boiler.
BARK BOILERS
Maintaining maximum efficiency
Bark boilers are primarily used in pulp and paper mills to produce process steam for paper production. These boilers are especially efficient in the production of pulp and paper, as bark is a waste by-product of previous processes involved in paper making. Steam is generated when the bark waste is burned and converted to process steam that turns a turbine to produce electrical power.
NBS can help the Pulp & Paper industry optimize the production of energy from wood waste and reduce overall energy costs. NBS can also help bark boilers maintain maximum efficiency through preventive maintenance and periodic upgrades.
​
Capabilities and Systems Serviced
NBS understands that most of the problems associated with bark boilers are related to inadequate mixing between the combustible gases and air. NBS specializes in preventative maintenance and boiler optimization to safeguard against this and other common bark boiler problems. In addition to bark boiler installations and emergency repairs, NBS also provides essential component upgrades and field services for bark boilers, including:
​
-
Air Systems
-
Environmental Systems
-
Fuel Handling
-
Stoker and Ash Handling
