Harvard Blackstone Boiler #11 Controls Upgrade
In an effort to bring the older boilers at the Harvard Blackstone Power Plant up to parity with a newly installed Boiler #13, Harvard contracted J.F. White to implement a design upgrade on Boiler #11.
The work consisted of demolition of the old controls, valves, wiring and piping for the natural gas, No. 6 fuel oil, atomizing steam, and aspirating air systems to the 4 burners on Boiler #11, and their replacement with new, more efficient controls, valves, and monitoring devices. To complete the modification of the old systems within the same general space confinements was a challenge, but with preplanning, and coordination with the client and engineer, J.F. White was able to accomplish the work in a professional, functionally ergonomic manner and to the complete satisfaction of the client.
