BOILER INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

Boiler Installation in Nigeria

Steam and industrial boilers sized to your load, then installed, relocated, retubed and serviced by an appointed Thermax partner, from 6 TPH packaged units to a 25 TPH biomass plant.

  • Appointed Thermax partner
  • Boilers from 6 to 25 TPH
  • Since 2009

WHY IT MATTERS

Steam you can count on, at a fuel bill you can live with

When a boiler trips, production stops. Most trips and high fuel bills trace back to how the boiler and its balance of plant were installed and looked after.

  • Unplanned trips because the feed water, burner or controls were rushed at installation.
  • Scale and corrosion that start on the water side when softening, deaeration and dosing are not right.
  • High fuel bills from bare steam lines, condensate sent to drain, or no heat recovery.
  • Commissioning delays because the chimney, deaerator and piping were left to another contractor.

WHAT YOU GET

What changes when the work is done right

01

One team for the boiler and its balance of plant: chimney, ducting, deaerator, feed water, steam header, fuel lines and insulation.

02

Pressure parts welded by qualified welders, with weld inspection at every stage, and piping hydrotested.

03

Commissioning and handover support.

04

Thermax spares and water treatment chemicals from the same partner after handover.

HOW WE WORK

How we install a boiler

STEP 01

Share your steam demand

Tell us the steam load, fuel and site, or the problem with your existing boiler. Drawings help if you have them.

STEP 02

Method, schedule and price

Our engineers reply with a method, a schedule and a price, usually within three working days.

STEP 03

Foundations and survey

Levels, anchor bolts and orientation are checked against the drawings before anything is lifted.

STEP 04

Structure and pressure parts

The boiler and its structure go up, then pressure parts are welded on site with inspection at every joint.

STEP 05

Balance of plant

Fans and ducting, chimney, fuel and water treatment, and piping, often in parallel, with spools made in our Lagos workshop.

STEP 06

Finishing and commissioning

Refractory, insulation, cabling and mountings are completed, lines are hydrotested, and we support commissioning and handover.

WHY MAVEN

Why plant owners choose Maven for boilers

Appointed Thermax partner

Maven is the appointed partner of Thermax Global for installing and maintaining boilers and chillers, and supplies Thermax spares and water treatment chemicals.

Nine boiler and steam projects listed

From a 6 TPH Shellmax in Ikeja to a 25 TPH biomass boiler in Port Harcourt, plus Forbes Marshall units in Cotonou and a full boiler relocation for Olam in Ilorin.

Pressure parts done properly

Qualified welders, controlled welding procedures and weld inspection at every stage, with the ASME boiler and pressure vessel codes setting much of the quality benchmark.

Working since 2009

Maven has delivered engineering, fabrication and installation work across Nigeria and West Africa since 2009.

Our own workshop in Lagos

Chimneys, ducting, pressure vessels, headers and structural steel are fabricated at our facility in Alimosho, Lagos, so less work is improvised on your site.

Certified welders and engineers

Work is carried out by certified welders, engineers and project managers, with a QHSE coordinator on the team.

QUESTIONS

Boiler installation: common questions

How much does boiler installation cost in Nigeria? +
The cost depends on boiler capacity, fuel type, how much balance of plant is needed (chimney, deaerator, water treatment, piping) and site conditions. Our boiler cost guide explains the main drivers. Send drawings, a scope of work or a short description of the problem on WhatsApp or through the contact form. Our engineers reply with a method, a schedule and a price, usually within three working days.
Which boiler brands do you install? +
We are the appointed partner of Thermax for installing and maintaining boilers and chillers, and have installed Thermax Shellmax and Thermax biomass boilers. We have also installed Forbes Marshall boilers for a textile plant in Cotonou.
Can you relocate an existing boiler? +
Yes. For Olam Agri in Ilorin we decommissioned a complete boiler installation, moved it to a new location, reinstalled the boiler, burner, economiser, chimney and piping, and hydrotested the steam piping after reinstallation.
What boiler fuels do you work with? +
Natural gas, diesel (HSD), furnace oil and biomass, as well as waste heat recovery boilers. Our boiler fuel comparison sets out the trade-offs.
Do you service and maintain boilers after installation? +
Yes. We carry out servicing, retubing and burner work, and supply Thermax spares and water treatment chemicals. See our boiler maintenance checklist.
How long does a boiler installation take? +
It depends on the boiler and the scope. A packaged boiler with its balance of plant is a very different job from a biomass plant with more than thirty work packages. We give you a schedule together with the method and price before work starts.
