ss badger january 2014 newsletter - boiler combustion control modernization
DESCRIPTION
Improvements Aboard the Badger At this time, LMC is making progress implementing a modern combustion control system for the boilers aboard the S. S. Badger. The new combustion system will allow the ship to be more efficient - burning less coal and generating less ash. At this time, we have started receiving components for the boilers combustion control system. The Marine Shop "Winter Gang" is making good progress in the preparations for installing the Badger's new combustion controls. The stokers have been removed from all four boilers and we are ready to "tackle" removing the broiler fronts.
