Ready to Rent: The Growing Demand for Temporary Steam and Hot Water Solutions -- What you Need to Know
Presented by Bob Montgomery, RSE, Technical Solutions Specialist, Boiler Plant Optimization Specialist, Waterloo Manufacturing Ltd
For the past several years, boiler rentals have become an important part of keeping steam and hot water applications up and running. Current demand for rentals is unprecedented. Whether it is a planned or unplanned event, or a delay due to supply chain issues, many customers suddenly find themselves needing a rental boiler. Most are unprepared to accommodate installing a rental boiler. This presentation will walk through the process, requirements, FAQ's, TSSA involvement and costs to get and put a rental in place. You will learn what to do so your site is ready for a rental when it happens, and to future proof your site to meet what insurance companies are insisting on for reducing unplanned outages with different policy coverage.

Presented by Sue Hadley, Chief Officer-Operating Engineers, TSSA
Update from American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA) followed by a Roundtable Q&A
Scott Lynch, President & CEO of ABMA will join us and present an update. We will then go into a Q&A period with all presenters.
