POWER has been a long-time partner with the University of Missouri. We have provided design services for a gas-fired boiler, biomass BFB boiler and combustion turbine CHP plant. Power and Steam Generation Services POWER understands that steam and electricity are critical utilities for serving campus energy needs. These utilities need to be generated and distributed reliably to facilitate the success of end-users. We are sensitive to these needs. Our goal is to deliver services as an extension of your staff to implement solutions that meet your needs. POWER provides study services that range from simple engineering technology or design assessments to full-scale utility master plans. We provide services that enable plants to outperform their design life, improve efficiency and reduce plant operating costs, add new generation, or retire existing equipment. We provide the technical expertise to complete the design and construction of power and steam generation projects. We can deliver small or large full-scope projects through a variety of delivery methods for both plant betterment and new generation. From foundations, supports and access to piping, wiring and controls, our experienced engineers address the needs of your entire plant.

5 UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO Williams Village Heating Plant Powerhouse Boiler Controls Upgrade Boulder, Colorado PROJECT SPECIFICS CLIENT University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado PROJECT SERVICES > Engineering and design > Installation > Field controls Project Description POWER provided a complete turnkey replacement of stand-alone combustion controls and burner management systems on two gas/oil-fired package water tube boilers. The new systems are PLC-based and connected to a plant wide monitoring system which We also installed as part of the project. In addition to boiler operating data, interfaces were configured for chilled water and plant metering systems to communicate with the new monitoring system. The new systems were installed and commissioned without interruption of steam and chilled water supply to the Williams Village Campus. Scope of Work We provided the following design-build equipment and services for this project: Engineering, design and panel assembly Installation services Field control services Equipment Startup Project management Training
