Industrial Boilers

Industrial boilers are at the core of any boiler house, providing the energy needed for a wide range of applications. For optimised performance, they can be seamlessly integrated with advanced industrial gas burners. Our boiler systems combine advanced combustion engineering, digital control technology, and sustainable fuel compatibility to deliver maximum efficiency and long-term reliability.

With over 60 years of expertise in combustion and thermal engineering, we possess a deep understanding of how boiler systems operate, enabling us to source and install boilers of any size to meet your specific needs.

Over the decades, we’ve built strong partnerships with leading boiler manufacturers across the UK and internationally. Whether you require a steam boiler, industrial hot water boiler, or a fully electric steam boiler, our team designs each system around your pressure, temperature, and load profile.

What is an industrial boiler and how does it work?

An industrial boiler is a pressure vessel that transfers heat to water or thermal fluid to generate steam or hot water for process use.

It operates by burning a fuel source such as gas, oil, biomass, or hydrogen  to heat water within a closed system. The resulting steam or heated fluid is then distributed through the plant to power machinery, sterilise equipment, or provide space heating.

In electric systems, heat is generated using electrical resistance elements, eliminating the need for combustion and enabling completely emission-free operation.

Dunphy integrates each boiler with burner and combustion control systems to ensure precise load management, reduced emissions, and optimal efficiency.

Tailored boiler solutions for any system

Whether you’re replacing an outdated boiler or expanding your existing system, we provide equipment that is:

  • Efficient: Designed to minimise energy usage and reduce operational costs.
  • Reliable: Built to perform consistently under demanding conditions.
  • Customisable: Tailored to meet your specific operational requirements.

Our decades of experience and collaborative approach ensure we deliver efficient, reliable, and future-proof solutions for all your industrial boiler needs, whether used as standalone systems or integrated within packaged boiler plant rooms. Explore how we can help you optimise your boiler house operations by contacting our expert team.

Key considerations when selecting your industrial boiler

When specifying an industrial boiler, several factors influence safety, efficiency, and total cost of ownership:

  • Steam or hot water demand: Match system output to actual process load for efficient operation.
  • Fuel type and availability: Choose between gas, oil, hydrogen, or electricity depending on site infrastructure and emissions targets.
  • Control integration: Ensure compatibility with digital combustion controls for performance optimisation.
  • Emission compliance: Dunphy low-NOx burners and smart control systems ensure compliance with the latest UK Clean Air standards.
  • Maintenance access: Our boiler maintenance service ensures consistent reliability and uptime.
  • Space and scalability: Select modular systems where future expansion or load increase is anticipated.

FAQ’s

What is an industrial boiler used for?

Industrial boilers produce steam or hot water for manufacturing, power generation, and heating processes. Applications include food production, pharmaceuticals, chemical plants, and district energy systems.

What types of industrial boilers are there?

There are several types: fire-tube, water-tube, electric, and waste-heat boilers. Each design suits different pressure levels and output capacities.

How efficient are modern industrial boilers?

When paired with Dunphy combustion systems and control technology, our industrial boilers can achieve up to 95% thermal efficiency.

Are Dunphy industrial boilers hydrogen-ready?

Yes. Our hydrogen-ready combustion systems allow safe, efficient operation with hydrogen or blended fuels.

How often should an industrial boiler be serviced?

At least once annually for safety and performance, with quarterly checks in high-load environments. Dunphy offers tailored service contracts to suit operational needs.
