When it comes to boilers, modular water tube boilers are the most eco-friendly type of boilers available.
For starters, modular water tube boilers require a lot less water to operate than conventional boilers. Modular boilers keep a minimal amount of water inside each of their tubes but still manage to create a large amount of steam. On the other hand, traditional boilers require a large volume of water at all times.
Modular boilers are also more efficient when it comes to fuel. The modular design is better at producing steam in a short period of time than larger conventional boilers. This helps reduce the amount of fuel that’s needed to make the boiler run. In many instances, switching from a conventional boiler to a water tube boiler can result in a 20% reduction in fuel costs, which is good for both the environment and an organization’s bottom line.
An obvious byproduct of using less fuel is having fewer emissions of harmful substances, most notably NOx and CO2. Most industries are facing stricter limits with regard to emissions, and many companies are realizing that they need to do what they can to limit their carbon footprint. Modular water tube boilers have been shown to reduce emissions of NOx and CO2, helping companies meet both legal and self-imposed restrictions on emissions.
Finally, water tube boilers don’t waste energy the way traditional boilers do. Modular boilers can be turned on and off with great ease, so they don’t need to run idle when they’re not needed. On the other hand, conventional boilers are almost always on so they can meet peak steam needs. But when steam needs are lower, they remain on, wasting both fuel and energy. There’s no such wasted energy with modular water tube boilers, which can easily be turned on and off as needed, leaving no doubt that they are the most eco-friendly boiler available.
