Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Garden City Ammonia Program (GCAP)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 27 June 2018GCAP is a private educational institute known for first-class hands-on technical training around the world with their Boiler Training Division providing education for industrial steam boiler operators. Sellers donated equipment to GCAP and provided a rapid-response digital-modulating integrated boiler/burner for practical working demonstrations. Also provided scholarship support for the institute's expansion.
• Sustainable Steam & Water Solutions, Inc.minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerPublished a case study analyzing the efficiency benefits of the Sellers Rapid-Response Gas-Fired Boiler as an alternative to traditional firetube boilers. The case study examined how rapid response boilers can reduce emissions and operating costs compared to traditional hot standby boilers.
