Your local branchPrime Boiler Services · Edmonton, AB1807 5 St., Nisku
Prime Boiler Services, now part of Thermogenics, has serviced industrial boilers across Western Canada since 1991. Our Edmonton team repairs, maintains, certifies and supplies steam and heating boilers for Fort Saskatchewan plants, with Western Canada’s largest boiler parts inventory and rental fleet behind the work.
Our Edmonton team works from the Prime yard at 1807 5 St. in Nisku, and Fort Saskatchewan is part of its regular Industrial Heartland service area. Emergency calls come with mobile repair equipment, and our technicians diagnose and troubleshoot on site.
The same team handles scheduled work: maintenance visits, ABSA inspection support, recertifications, start-ups and commissioning. Rental boilers ship to Fort Saskatchewan plants skid- or trailer-mounted. Our ABSA-approved quality program covers high-pressure steam boilers, pressure vessels and process piping, the equipment most Heartland plants depend on.
Fort Saskatchewan is covered by our Edmonton team
Fort Saskatchewan sits at the centre of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, Canada’s largest hydrocarbon-processing region. Process steam supports cracking and polymerization, upgrading and metals refining here, and a boiler outage can idle a whole unit.
Ethylene, polyethylene and chemical plants need steady process steam at pressure. We service and repair high-pressure boilers, deaerators and blowdown separators, and supply turnaround rentals.
Upgraders and refineries in Strathcona and Sturgeon counties run large steam systems. We rent watertube units to 110,000 lb/hr and 750 psig, and repair pressure vessels and B31.3 piping.
Nitrogen fertilizer plants depend on a steady steam supply. We service the boilers, feedwater systems, steam traps and deaerators that provide it.
Nickel and cobalt refining uses steam for process heating. We repair boilers and pressure vessels and run water treatment programs that limit scale and corrosion in the steam system.
Hydrogen production and carbon capture facilities need steady steam and heat. Our combustion technicians handle low-NOx burner upgrades, O2 trim, digital controls and remote monitoring.
We build maintenance programs around your boilers and your ABSA inspection dates. They cover combustion tuning, low-water cutoff and flame safeguard testing, refractory checks, and water treatment for steam, hot water and glycol systems. Visits include the equipment around the boiler as well as the boiler itself.
Maintenance from EdmontonOur technicians troubleshoot on site and repair what they find. We repair refractory on units from 25 HP to 5,000 HP, burners and controls, and pressure vessels such as deaerators, feedwater tanks and blowdown separators, all under ABSA-approved quality control.
Repair servicesWe carry Western Canada’s largest boiler parts inventory: safety valves, gaskets, fuel nozzles, steam traps, controls and refractory, including Autoflame, Fireye, Honeywell, Siemens and Oilon lines. Order 24 hours a day for delivery or pickup in Nisku.
Parts & suppliesOur fleet runs from 30 BHP Scotch marine firetubes to watertubes up to 800 BHP and a 2,200 HP Nebraska watertube. Superheated steam trailers and glycol heaters are available for outages, turnarounds and pipeline hydrotesting down to -40 °C.
Rental boilers & fleetIn Alberta, boilers and pressure vessels fall under ABSA – The Pressure Equipment Safety Authority, which administers the Safety Codes Act and Pressure Equipment Safety Regulation. Owners must keep equipment on a valid certificate and follow ABSA inspection intervals. Our repairs run under our ABSA-approved quality program (AQP-21130). We prepare recertification paperwork and coordinate with inspectors on repairs and hydrotests.
Long cold spells load heating boilers hard, freeze exposed condensate and feedwater lines, and stress refractory through repeated cycling. Scheduling major outages for summer and lining up a rental option before winter lowers the risk when a process boiler or heating plant fails.

ABSA – The Pressure Equipment Safety Authority issues them. ABSA also registers boiler and pressure vessel designs and certifies power engineers and pressure welders. We certify and recertify boilers and handle the paperwork for you.
Yes. Our ABSA quality program covers repair and alteration of power boilers, heating boilers and pressure vessels, plus B31.1 and B31.3 piping. We are set up with ISNetworld, ComplyWorks, Avetta, Contractor Check and Cognibox. In Edmonton, we engineered and installed a high-pressure steam boiler and its process piping for Hexion’s research lab.
We can send firetube and watertube boilers from across our fleet, skid- or trailer-mounted, on diesel, natural gas or dual fuel. Superheated steam trailers reach up to 750 °F superheat, and we also rent hoses, pumps, fuel tanks and generators.
Yes. Our Edmonton team covers both, along with the rest of the Industrial Heartland. Plants there get the same technicians, parts inventory and rental fleet as Fort Saskatchewan.
Call 780-955-7787 for emergency repair, or to plan maintenance, parts or a rental boiler for your next outage.
