Why Oxygen Trim Should Be Part of Your Boiler Room
by Joe Wallace Oxygen trim (O2 Trim) is a system that constantly monitors your boiler’s combustion. Unlike your car, your boiler has the ability to run properly without it, so what are the upsides to it? This system can adjust your air fuel ratio based on what it’s supposed to be and triggers alarms or lockouts should the […]
We’ve been busy making improvements – The JC-30D-EZ
Preferred’s R&D department made such significant improvements to the JC-30D opacity monitor, we re-branded it the JC-30D-EZ.

Safely Transfer Diesel Exhaust Fluid Using DEF Urea Pump System
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) was developed to help keep heavy-duty diesel fueled machinery like boilers operating within federal emissions standards. At the chemical level, DEF is a combination of 67.5% de-ionized water and 32.5% urea that transforms harmful nitrous oxide emissions into harmless water and gas. Urea is an organic chemical compound produced as waste by the body […]
