Boiler Units 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 - Figure A-5 Summary of Industrial Boilers in EPA's ICCR Database 7,400 247,081 4,446 313,273 A-8 Energy and Environmental Analysis, Inc. 8,792 404,875 98,701 2,233 Boiler Units Boiler Capacity 3,927 219,208 26,837 728,675 Food Paper Chemicals Refining Primary Metals Other Manufacturing 900,000 750,000 600,000 450,000 300,000 150,000 The ICCR database includes 16,506 commercial boilers with an aggregate capacity of 234,000 MMBtu/hr. The distribution by building type is shown in Figure A-6. Slightly more than half of the boilers and boiler capacity are located at educational and health care facilities. One limitation of the ICCR database is that a large number of boilers are identified only by a capacity range (i.e., 10-100 MMBtu/hr) because the specific capacity values were missing or determined to be unreliable. - Boiler Capacity (MMBtu/hr)

The most recent available version was last updated in 1999. The ICI database, summarized in Figure A-7, includes 40,000 industrial boilers with an aggregate capacity of 2.8 million MMBtu/hr. Like the ICCR database, the ICI database is skewed toward larger units, with lesser coverage of smaller boilers. The average unit size is 71 MMBtu/hr compared to 31 MMBtu/hr for the final composite inventory of industrial boilers. The distribution of boilers is similar to the ICCR database with most of the boilers in the food, chemicals and other manufacturing industries. Although the ICI database contains more than 90 percent of the number of boilers larger than 250 MMBtu/hr in the final inventory, it contains only 42 percent of the number smaller than 50 MMBtu/hr. 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 - Boiler Capacity (MMBtu/hr)
