FAQ's - When Renting a Boiler:

Who supplies the fuel and power for the boiler? - The fuel and power supply for the boiler is the responsibility of the Lessee.  BRS also rents portable generator sets if you require power for your application.  Trailer mounted units up to 350 hp have oil storage tanks on board.  Those units require the tank to be filled after the trailer is blocked and leveled.  All oil MUST be removed prior to return of rental boiler.  Units larger than 350 hp will require a separate oil tank to be provided and filled.  Many times a local fuel supplier can provide this tank at little or no charge when purchasing oil.  An oil transfer pump may be required depending on the location of the oil tank.  The trailer power requirements are 240/460 Vac, three phase and 120 Vac, control.  Note some units have separate control power transformer and do not require 120 VAC power.  If power is not available, portable generator sets can be provided.

Who supplies the main gas pressure regulator? - Typically the Lessee provides the gas pressure regulator to supply trailer with proper pressure.  If required, BRS sells gas pressure regulators for your application.  Advise the sales department when you place your order or are inquiring about a price.

Who provides the insurance for the boiler? - It is the responsibility of the Lessee to provide full protection for the boiler and equipment.  Check with your insurance agent, many policies will cover this with no increased premiums or extra charges involved. A certificate of insurance will be required prior to start-up.

Who is paying for the freight? - The Lessee pays the freight to the site and the return of the unit after the rental period.  Trucking arrangements are made by BRS or Lesser and will be coordinated with the trucking company.

Who will hook up the boiler and what needs to be done? - The hook-up of the boiler will be done by the Lessee and includes the following tasks before a start-up technician is called in.
1.  Unload and level the boiler unit or level and block the tires for trailer mounted units.
2.  Connect the 3 phase and 120 Vac control power as required to the safety disconnects.
3.  Provide make-up water supply to the feed connection. Minimum of 40 psig.
4.  Provide steam piping from the trailer to the process connection.
5.  Provide a regulated natural gas service or PROPERLY REGULATED propane tank for 200,000 BTUs pilot gas.
6.  Supply and fill oil tank when burning #2 oil. Gas pilot required when firing oil.
7.  Provide condensate return piping. This is not required, but returning condensate will reduce make-up water usage and reduce energy cost.
8.  Pipe any drains to safe areas, water and steam is a hazard to personnel or property. Local code MUST be consulted.

What about the water chemical treatment? - Chemical treatment for the boiler must be provided for any length of rental.  The Lessee must provide the proper chemical treatment program.  Proper blow down of the equipment and treatment will prevent damage to the boiler.  BRS can provide the proper boiler chemicals and chemical treatment services at start-up and during the rental period.  Please advise when the lessee does not want the responsibility of chemical treatment.  BRS also has a third party chemical treatment company that can also provide chemicals and services when needed.
