Burners are engineered to utilize optimum combustion efficiency while lowering nitrogen oxide levels to less than 9 PPM and lowering carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other emissions to the safest, most minimally impactful levels. Continually leading the way to the cleanest and most efficient use of the various fuels we burn remains our highest priority and mission.

The future at Hurst Boiler & Welding Company also includes an Environmental and Sustainability Commitment to enhance the quality of life in all areas we serve. With an ever-increasing focus on global warming, conservation, and sustainability, it is more essential than ever that we all do our part to keep our water clear and our sky blue.
Utilizing HURST Biomass Boiler Systems can reduce, or even eliminate energy and disposal costs altogether, through the combustion of renewable fuel sources, also known as biomass. Energy solutions based on biomass and biofuels provide clean and renewable energy for large national and international companies. Green-thinking companies are now using biofuels to mitigate the impact their activities have on the environment by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. This can also generate earnings by saving money on energy costs, and by the sale of carbon credits.
This commitment represents what Hurst does to make our products as good for the environment as they are for the places we live and work. Being green is always part of Hurst blue – and we put a touch of it in every boiler and system we make.
In addition, through our products and technologies, Hurst aspires to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life not only for ourselves, but for our customers and their businesses as well.
