Marspec to Supply New Condensing Economizer

Marspec Technical Products has been selected to provide a new Sidel Systems condensing economizer to a North Mississippi manufacturing facility.

This new economizer will supply up to 120 gallons per minute of 'free' hot water for the process. The economizer acts as a water heater that takes advantage of the heat in the steam boiler's flue gas to provide this hot water. Heat that is now going up the stack to the atmosphere will now be harnessed to make hot process water.

Currently, the customer is running a steam boiler and supplying this steam to a heat exchanger to produce hot water. Marspec estimates that the customer will slash their natural gas bill by over $250,000.00 per year and reduce carbon emissions by nearly 4.1 million pounds annually - the equivalent of removing 357 passenger cars from the highway, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.
