What A.E.P. Thermal does
A.E.P. Thermal Inc. is a privately held Canadian industrial manufacturer founded circa 1980 and headquartered in Mount-Royal, Québec, that designs and builds high-voltage electrode boilers for steam and hot water generation. Its product portfolio is built around three core models — the CEJW immersed electrode hot water boiler, the CEJWS immersed electrode steam boiler, and the CEJS jet-type steam boiler — all operating at 4,160V to 25,000V with capacities up to 70 MW. The underlying technology uses water as a resistive element between concentric electrodes to convert nearly 100% of incoming electrical energy into heat or steam, connects directly to medium- or high-voltage distribution grids without step-down transformers, and achieves zero direct CO2/NOx/SOx emissions with step-less output control from 10–100%.
The company targets enterprise and industrial customers across five primary verticals: medical facilities (sterilization, HVAC, laundry), district heating utilities, power plants (auxiliary steam, grid stabilization, renewable integration), educational campuses, and industrial manufacturing (food processing, chemicals, mining, textiles). It sells through a direct enterprise field-sales motion from its Canadian headquarters and U.S. office in Mooers, New York, supplemented by a global reseller network including Affiliated Steam, California Boilers, CT Industrial Oy, Hoffman Hoffman, Texas Air, Zhejiang Shangneng Boiler, Attsu, and Proctor Sales. Global manufacturing is enabled through ACMETHERM, a core strategic and co-development partner operating production in India and China.
A.E.P. Thermal reports ISO 9001:2015 certification (issued by BNQ) and over 40 years of operating history with cumulative deliveries exceeding 3 GW of high-voltage electrode boiler capacity worldwide. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated principally from custom one-time equipment sales rather than recurring software or service contracts. Stated headcount is 1–10 employees, indicating a lean specialty manufacturer rather than a scaled industrial platform.

A.E.P. Thermal product offering
Product offeringCore offering
A.E.P. Thermal Inc. designs and manufactures high-voltage electrode boilers that generate industrial steam and hot water by passing electric current through conductive water as the resistor, operating at 4,160V to 25,000V with capacities from 1 MW to 70 MW. The portfolio comprises three core models — CEJW (Immersed Electrode Hot Water Boiler), CEJWS (Immersed Electrode Steam Boiler), and CEJS (Jet Type Steam Boiler) — all of which connect directly to medium/high-voltage distribution grids without a step-down transformer, deliver ~100% thermal efficiency, and produce zero direct combustion emissions for power generation, mining, food processing, chemical, medical, district heating, and education customers.
Product overview
A.E.P. Thermal is a manufacturer of high-voltage electrode boilers for industrial steam and hot water generation. The product portfolio consists of three core boiler models: the CEJW Immersed Electrode Hot Water Boiler (for large-scale hot water needs up to 70 MW), the CEJWS Immersed Electrode Steam Boiler (for high-performance steam generation up to 70 MW), and the CEJS Jet Type Steam Boiler (a proven leader for steam generation from 6 MW to 53 MW). All three products are high-voltage electric boilers that connect directly to power distribution systems (4,160V to 25,000V) without requiring step-down transformers, converting nearly 100% of electrical energy into heat or steam with zero emissions.

Products and services
- CEJW Immersed Electrode Hot Water Boiler High-voltage electrode flooded hot water boiler for large-scale industrial and district heating loads, operating at 4,160V to 25,000V with capacities up to 70 MW. Uses a motorized drive system to interpose a concentric insulating counter electrode between the electrode and neutral counter electrode, connects directly to the power grid without a step-down transformer, converts virtually 100% of electrical energy into heat, and provides automatic step-less load and temperature control from 10% to 100%. Targeted at industrial, district heating, medical, and educational customers needing clean, zero-emission hot water at scale.
- CEJWS Immersed Electrode Steam Boiler All-electric high-performance steam boiler for demanding industrial environments, operating at 4,160V to 25,000V with capacities up to 70 MW. Connects directly to medium/high-voltage distribution networks without step-down transformers or combustion systems, uses the conductive and resistive properties of water to carry electric current and generate steam, and provides automatic load and pressure controls with step-less control from 10% to 100%. Targeted at power generation, mining, food processing, chemical production, medical, and industrial steam users.
- CEJS Jet Type Steam Boiler High-voltage electrode jet-type steam boiler with vertically mounted electrodes, positioned as the proven leader with more operating hours across applications than competing products. Operates at 4,160V to 25,000V with capacities from 6 MW to 53 MW, connects directly to the electrical grid without a step-down transformer, and uses conductive water to generate steam with zero direct emissions. Targeted at large-scale industrial steam customers across power, processing, manufacturing, and district heating applications.
