The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), NCO 2 James J.

The Northport VA Medical Center currently utilizes boiler plant equipment which is beyond its recommended service life. The boiler plant provides steam for heating and other functions to the Main Hospital and multiple other buildings through an underground distribution system. This system is currently undergoing replacement under a separate project.

The scope of this project includes construction of a replacement steam system including new boilers, pumps, and ancillary equipment. The construction of this new system will assume that the replacement of the steam distribution system will be complete by the time the new boiler plant equipment is in operation. There is also a Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) which has recently been started up. The new steam system for this project will incorporate tie-ins and modifications to the CHP.

The goal of the project is to improve the efficiency of steam generation on the site. This will be accomplished with the installation of modern high-efficiency equipment which requires less energy to operate leading to lower energy costs. The replacement of aged equipment will also improve equipment downtime for maintenance and repair.

Boilers

The new boiler plant will consist of three 30,000 PPH watertube boilers to provide N+1 redundancy for the expected future steam demand. The boilers will include stack economizers to maximize efficiency and will fire natural gas as a primary fuel source, with No. 2 fuel oil as a back-up.
