Global Packaged Boiler Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global packaged boiler market

Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global packaged boiler market will grow steadily in the next four years and will post a CAGR of more than 5% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the demand for uninterrupted steam supply as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Portable boilers were considered to be the only means of steam generation for industrial units and in the power generation sector to run turbines. However, technological advancements led to the development of packaged boilers that can be connected in parallel to the boiler connection pattern and can assist in increasing the operational capacity of a boiler system. As a result, several industries and educational institutions have started replacing their coal-powered steam boilers with packaged boilers to meet their energy requirements.

Considering the possibility of changes in the emission standards, boiler companies will start manufacturing boilers with reduced NOx emissions. For instance, the Nebraska boiler that meets the current standard of 76 ppmv of NOx emissions can be modified to meet 15 ppmv NOx emission simply by increasing the air and FGR ration by 20% and 25%, respectively. The modifications do not require any major modifications where only the burner spuds and FD fans have to be replaced.
