Quotes
Everything is about the water. If you don't, if you don't have good water in the front end, then you won't have good steam.\u201d - Steven Taylor
\u201cBoilers haven\u2019t changed much. Steam isn\u2019t going anywhere. Steam will be done differently, but it is the medium that will stay around.\u201d - Ritchie Ware\xa0
\u201cIt takes 12-14 months of training before we ever put a technician in a truck. It\u2019s a pretty big investment\u201d- Ritchie Ware\xa0
\u201cAs we look to the future, we are going to see more unmanned boiler rooms where we use technology to monitor boiler equipment, and you are going to see a lot of outsourcing of operators because manpower is a big issue.\u201d - Steven Taylor
\u201cOur biggest challenge is educating the industry on what steam does and how important it is to the world economy. That's our biggest challenge.\u201d - Steven Taylor
\u201cI wish everyone understood how important steam is and how much it impacts everyone's lives. It\u2019s amazing how much steam affects our lives.\u201d \xa0- Ritchie Ware\xa0
