​IEM has a number of licensed boiler operators on staff that provide floating boiler operations and service throughout Southeastern Wisconsin.  We offer 24 x 7 service, offering cost effective solutions to schools and churches that share a boiler operator.  In addition to our routine operator and maintenance services, our team can also coordinate more intensive boiler service with outside contractors. 

​

Routine services include: 

​

1. Routine Inspections:

   • Visual checks for leaks, corrosion, or damage.

   • Monitoring of water levels, pressure, and temperature.

2. Maintenance:

   • Cleaning of boiler internals to remove scale and sediment buildup, which can impair efficiency. This might involve chemical treatments or mechanical cleaning.

   • Replacement or repair of worn parts like gaskets, valves, and piping.

3. Water Treatment:

   • Regular testing and treatment of boiler water to prevent scaling and corrosion. This includes adjusting pH, adding chemicals to control dissolved oxygen, and ensuring proper alkalinity.

4. Safety Device Checks:

   • Testing and calibration of safety valves, pressure gauges, and water level indicators to ensure they function correctly under operational conditions.

5. Combustion Efficiency:

   • Tuning of the burner for optimal combustion efficiency, which involves adjusting air-to-fuel ratios. This can be done through stack temperature monitoring, flue gas analysis, and burner maintenance.

6. Documentation and Compliance:

   • Keeping records of all maintenance activities, water quality tests, and inspections for compliance with local regulations or insurance requirements.

   • Ensuring the boiler operation meets all safety standards and codes.

7. Efficiency Audits:

   • Periodic audits to assess and improve the boiler's overall efficiency, possibly involving heat recovery systems or insulation upgrades.

8. Emergency Response:

   • Preparing and sometimes executing emergency shutdowns if there's a risk of failure or unsafe operation.
