Project:

This project will replace aged existing boiler(s) and increase EWU’s campus steam capacity to meet future heating needs in support of the current capital master plan, provide sufficient redundancy during scheduled maintenance operations, and to increase operating efficiencies.  The existing campus heating system is comprised of five boilers that initially provided a total capacity of one hundred thirty four thousand (134,000pph) pounds per hour.  One boiler has been removed from the train, thus reducing capacity to 116,000pph.  Historical records indicate a peak heating load of about seventy five thousand (75,000pph) has been experienced at the plant.  Based on the anticipated master plan growth, the increased heat load is expected to be approximately 34%, or around 100,000pph.  The addition of approximately 40,000pph heating capacity is needed to serve the campus into the future.
