Primo — Chullora
When Primo's Chullora facility needed more steam, the new plant had to be installed around production that could never stop — inside a tight footprint, with zero tolerance for downtime. O'Brien took single-source responsibility for the supply, installation and commissioning of a complete 2 × 6 MW OBY88 D-type watertube steam plant, engineered for the facility's exact production requirements and delivered without disrupting the live plant.
The Challenge
Increasing steam capacity inside an active food manufacturing facility that couldn't stop operating — with limited installation space, existing plant running at load, and zero tolerance for downtime.
On site — before and after




The Solution
A complete industrial steam plant — 2 × 6 MW OBY88 D-type boilers with economisers and heat recovery, deaerator and feedwater systems, and advanced controls — engineered specifically for the facility's production requirements.
The Outcome
12 MW of new steam capacity delivered over a 12-month program with 5–10% energy savings — backed by operator training on live systems and ongoing O'Brien service support.
