Wood-Fired Boiler System Evaluation at Fort Stewart, GA

Abstract

Part of the plan to modernize the central energy plant (CEP) at Fort Stewart, GA is focused on the installations wood-fired boiler, which provides steam for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) was tasked with supporting Fort Stewart in planning its CEP modernization. Researchers made site visits 1-3 November 2000 and 5-6 December 2000, inspected the CEP equipment and evaluated its condition, conducted operational tests, made cold iron inspections, and reviewed plant logs. Researchers recorded and analyzed the results of the inspections and tests, and outlined two alternative options, which specify the improvements and repairs needed to extend the system life.
