Custom Engineering
Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation was founded in 1920 by oil heating engineers who foresaw the demand for high quality oil burning applications. This service was immediately accepted and its continued success confirms our customer satisfaction. To this day, the work of responding to the requirements of commercial, institutional, and industrial plants continues. Preferred engineers are designing equipment for use during nuclear power plant outages, emergency diesel generator fuel transfer pump sets and instrumentation, and complete combustion systems for hot water and steam generating plants.
Single Source Responsibility
Incorporating a total systems approach to fuel management, each job is treated as a unique design project. Pumps are chosen to meet required flow and pressure criteria for the fuels being pumped. A control strategy is chosen to provide the desired degree of automation while assuring the highest levels of reliability. Monitoring and alarm points are selected to alert operations staff of any change in status. By combining pumps, day tanks, controls, level and leak monitoring into a single package, an optimized system with single source responsibility is assured.
Innovation
Preferred occupies a position of acknowledged leadership in the manufacture of fuel oil transfer systems for boilers and emergency diesel generators. The Automatic Fuel Oil Transfer Pump Set (ATPS) for the first time puts in place a self checking fuel system. Preferred recognizes that these systems are often ignored. The ATPS is designed to ensure that the emergency backup systems will have a reliable source of fuel oil when needed.
