This 180,000 LBS/HR Nebraska Boiler is an industrial A-Type watertube steam boiler rated for 300 PSI MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure). With approximately 11,219 sq. ft. of heating surface and a 200 MMBTU/hr heat input, this unit is designed for large-scale steam generation in continuous industrial operations.
Manufactured in 1988 and reportedly in running condition prior to shutdown one year ago, this boiler is configured with a Todd Combustion low NOx burner designed for propane fuel. The package includes boiler instrumentation, valves, economizer, boiler stack, and additional system components - offering a comprehensive steam generation solution.
For facilities seeking a used Nebraska boiler for sale, second-hand A-Type watertube boiler, or 300 PSI industrial steam boiler, this unit provides high steam capacity with reduced capital investment compared to new fabrication.

What Is an A-Type Watertube Boiler?
An A-Type boiler is a watertube design featuring two lower drums connected to an upper steam drum, forming an “A” configuration. This design provides:
- High steam generation capacity
- Efficient heat transfer across large heating surfaces
- Stable pressure control
- Reliable operation for industrial steam loads
A-Type watertube boilers are commonly used in chemical plants, refineries, food processing facilities, pulp and paper mills, and utility steam plants where consistent 300 PSI steam output is required.
What Does 300 PSI MAWP Mean?
300 PSI MAWP (Maximum Allowable Working Pressure) refers to the maximum pressure at which the boiler is designed to operate safely under regulated standards.
In industrial applications, 300 PSI steam systems are typically used for:
- Process heating
- Steam distribution headers
- Industrial drying systems
- Reboilers and heat exchangers
- Plant utility steam systems
This pressure range balances high steam energy with operational stability in large-scale manufacturing environments.
Integrated Combustion & Efficiency Components
This Surplus Nebraska boiler includes:
- Todd Combustion Low NOx burner (propane fuel) for controlled emissions
- Economizer system to recover flue gas heat and improve fuel efficiency
- Boiler instrumentation and valve package
- Boiler stack
- Condensate Return Tank
- Reboiler
- Deaerator (DA) Tank
The availability of condensate return and deaeration equipment enhances overall steam cycle efficiency and reduces thermal losses within the system.
Typical Industrial Applications
This surplus Nebraska A-Type boiler is suitable for:
- Chemical processing plants
- Oil & gas facilities
- Petrochemical operations
- Food and beverage production
- Pulp and paper mills
- Large institutional or utility steam systems
High-capacity watertube boilers in the 180,000 PPH range are frequently sourced by industrial buyers across North America, Mexico, Latin America, and international energy markets for plant upgrades and replacement projects.
Benefits of Purchasing Used Nebraska Boilers
Purchasing surplus industrial boiler equipment can provide:
- Lower upfront capital cost compared to new OEM units
- Faster deployment timelines
- Reduced fabrication lead time
- Proven heavy-duty industrial construction
- Suitable solution for plant expansion or system replacement
For facilities requiring immediate 300 PSI steam generation capacity, used Nebraska boilers offer a practical and scalable solution.
