The Scottish Rites Cathedral, located in downtown Peoria, Illinois, is a 1100 - seat capacity cathedral and multi-purpose facility that provides a theatre for the Performing Arts, in addition to complete dinner and dining facilities. Many area organizations use this wonderful 1920’s building for a wide variety of activities.

• Severely outdated, structurally unsound, 1920’s era, locomotive style boilers.

• Old, and equally outdated, 1949 vintage, Ray burners

• Maintenance personnel diversification, requires better automation

The Scottish Rites Cathedral's, steam requirements were fulfilled by two Kewanee, locomotive style, fire-tube boilers, which had far outlived their efficient and safe operating life. In 1949 the boilers were fit with new Ray oil burners, which were later converted to natural gas, as this service became available.

Summary : Extremely wide seasonal load swings, boiler waterside vessel failure and burner head overheat failure and lead-lag system that has been abandoned.

 New Riello, natural gas burner

One of the best burners available today and one of the most serviceable, the Riello burner provides the burner efficiency that is demanded by today’s marketplace.

The quality of construction is second to none and the slider housing is a service feature that is un-duplicated in the industry.

Combustion Technologies Boiler Control System

Maintenance personnel are being required to be far more diverse than ever before, thus the importance of an application specific, operator-free, boiler automation system.

Optional, remote monitoring from in-house P.C.s or from off-site Lap-top P.C.s, can  provide a 24 hour communication with the system.
