BRS, through its associate boiler rental suppliers, will
assist in emergency and planned rentals to minimize or eliminate disruption in
operation.
Who supplies the fuel and power for the boiler?
Who supplies the main gas pressure regulator?
Who provides the insurance for the boiler?
Who is paying for the freight?
Who will hook up the boiler and what needs to be done?
The fuel and power supply for the boiler are the
responsibility of the Lessee. BRS also secures portable generator sets if you
require power for your application. Trailer mounted units up to 350HP 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 350HP 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 that some units have separate control
power transformers and do not require 120 VAC power. If power is not available,
portable generator sets can be provided.

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.

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.

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 Lessor
and will be coordinated with the trucking company.

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

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.
