Moss has over 59 years of boiler engineering experience with over a 100,000 page library covering combustion engineering, advance control system theory, pressure vessel code compliance, electrical co-generation and environmental air/water emissions.

Since 1958, George K. Moss Co., Inc. has provided engineering and design consulting services for new and used steam boiler facilities, as well as retrofit support services for existing solid fuel boiler plants. Moss is a one-stop solutions provider specializing in solid fuel boiler evaluations and has assisted many plants with implementing operational and equipment/control changes to improve steam flow (sometimes significant increases), thermal efficiency, minimize or eliminate fossil fuel co-firing, reduce landfill cost and reduce air pollution emissions from their solid fuel boiler operations. Projects include wood, coal and biomass combustion boiler facilities. Our capabilities include the complete design for a new solid fuel combustion/boiler/control system/installation system or we can make modifications and improvements to steam flow, combustion, material handling and emissions on existing boiler systems. Our engineers and designers will not have inflexible and predetermined solutions for your complex boiler plant problems. We will listen to your concerns and investigate all the options to customize an engineering solution that will work for the present and in the future. Our team is not finished until you are up and operational and all phases of the project are complete. We allow our clients to focus on their businesses and simplify their lives with a single point of contact for any boiler plant problems.
