[SCOTTT]

What might a 15000 lb/hr 15psi oil/gas burner boiler cost? new,used
What might a 15000 lb/hr 150psi oil/gas burner boiler cost? new used
What would super heat tubes add to the cost. I am novice, so general answers would be fine.

Your question apprears to be incomplete. Pl specify the boiler capacity and burner capcity required. For S.H.C cals have to be carried out for that.

Scott,

Boilers are rated and sold using an old/strange rating called "boiler horsepower"

A 15,000 lb/hr boiler is about 450-500 "boiler horsepower" and the general cost for firetube boilers in this range is approximately $245/bhp.......

So, I would say a new unit of this size would cost (450)(245)= $101,250 (plus or minus 15%)

You can easily add 50% to this cost with special low NOX burners/stacks/and CEMS equipment.

You should be able to find a used boiler for about 60% of this cost....

See:

(many other used equipment vendors on the internet....)

Watertube boilers cost more and last longer..

Just my thoughts and opinions....
