commercial and industrial equipment manufacturer.
He holds more than 20 years of experience at the

the vice president of sales. Since assuming the role of
president, David Bohn has led the company to a 124
percent increase in annual corporate revenue, as well

Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation makes a
variety of products for industrial machines, including
instruments that monitor boilers. These monitors help
prevent dry firing, a process that begins when a boiler
runs out of water.

3.  In this event, a boiler operator may decide to use a
different feedwater pump to provide the boiler
with moisture. In certain conditions, the water
from the alternate feedwater pump will hit the hot
metal of the boiler, emitting a flash of light, which
causes the boiler to expand to 2,000 times its
normal volume. This process basically weaponizes
the boiler and endangers everything in its path.
Although this event is exceptionally rare—the US
sees around one dry-firing boiler incident per
year—experts believe that it can be avoided due to
sophisticated boiler monitoring tools.
