Your local branchPrime Boiler Services · Edmonton, AB1807 5 St., Nisku
Prime Boiler Services has repaired, serviced and supplied steam and heating boilers for Western Canada’s oil, gas, power and industrial plants since 1991. We hold ABSA and TSASK repair authorizations for both sides of the border, run the largest boiler rental fleet in Western Canada and answer emergency calls 24/7.
Lloydminster is part of our Edmonton team’s service area, served from Prime’s yard in Nisku. Technicians bring mobile repair equipment, and inspections, tune-ups and shutdown work are scheduled around your operating calendar.
Many Lloydminster plants carry heavy steam and process heat loads. For these sites we modernize combustion systems with low-NOx burners, O2 trim and digital controls, repair refractory on boilers from 25 HP to 5,000 HP, and run water treatment programs for steam, hot water and glycol systems. A rental unit can supply temporary steam while we work on the permanent fix.
Lloydminster is covered by our Edmonton team
Lloydminster sits in one of Canada’s main heavy oil regions, and much of the local economy depends on steam and process heat. Thermal production, upgrading and asphalt refining, oilfield service shops, farms and ag processors, and the city’s hospital and college all run boilers that have to stay online through a prairie winter.
Steam-based heavy oil projects need high-pressure steam on demand. We service watertube and firetube boilers, burners and controls, and supply rental steam when production cannot wait.
Process heat and steam keep heavy crude and asphalt moving. Our rental fleet includes superheated steam trailers and watertube units up to 750 psig for turnarounds and outages.
Service and fabrication shops use steam for vessel steaming, tank cleaning support and heating. We rent boilers for this work and repair feedwater tanks, blowdown separators and deaerators.
Grain, oilseed and livestock operations on both sides of the border use boilers for process heat, sanitation and building heat. We put these plants on a planned maintenance schedule.
Hospital and campus heating plants run all winter. We handle certification work, low-water cutoff and flame safeguard checks, and planned system upgrades.
Maintenance programs are built around your boilers and your inspection dates. Each visit covers the boiler room as a whole: burners, controls, low-water cutoffs, feedwater, deaerators, condensate return and water treatment. Planned visits catch wear before it turns into a winter failure.
Maintenance from EdmontonRepairs on Section I power boilers, Section IV heating boilers, pressure vessels and B31.1 and B31.3 piping are done under Prime’s ABSA and TSASK quality programs. We troubleshoot on site, replace failed burner and control components, repair refractory, and track down the root cause once the boiler is back online.
Repair servicesPrime stocks safety valves, gaskets, refractory, fuel nozzles, steam traps, controls and water treatment supplies. Parts can be ordered 24 hours a day and delivered throughout Canada.
Parts & suppliesRental boilers run from 30 BHP firetubes to a 2,200 HP Nebraska watertube, skid- or trailer-mounted, on diesel, natural gas or dual fuel. We also rent superheated steam trailers plus pumps, hoses, fuel tanks and generators.
Rental boilers & fleetLloydminster straddles the Alberta–Saskatchewan border, so the rules depend on which side your plant sits. On the Alberta side, ABSA administers the Pressure Equipment Safety Regulation, and boilers and pressure vessels need a valid certificate and must follow ABSA inspection intervals. Saskatchewan-side equipment falls under TSASK. Because Prime holds approved repair programs with both, one team can handle plants anywhere in the city.
January lows here often drop below -30 °C, and a boiler outage in that cold can freeze lines quickly. Combustion air intakes, condensate returns, outdoor piping and feedwater systems all take a beating, and many winter failures start outside the boiler itself. That is why our maintenance programs and system audits look at the whole steam loop. Our rental units can also hydrotest pipelines down to -40 °C.
ABSA
ABSA – The Pressure Equipment Safety Authority
Our Edmonton team covers Lloydminster and nearby communities, including Vermilion, Kitscoty, Marwayne, Paradise Valley and Wainwright in Alberta, and Lashburn and Maidstone in Saskatchewan. Plants in these towns get the same crews, parts and rental fleet as plants in the city.

Call 780-955-7787 any hour and we’ll confirm an arrival time on the call. Lloydminster is about 3 hours east of our Nisku yard on Yellowhead Highway 16, a drive our crews are used to, and they arrive with mobile repair equipment.
TSASK inspects boilers on the Saskatchewan side. Prime repairs Saskatchewan-side equipment under TSASK registration 0159-0001 and Alberta-side equipment under ABSA Certificate of Authorization Permit AQP-21130. We coordinate with the inspector when a repair or hydrotest needs one.
Yes. The same Edmonton team that serves Lloydminster covers Vermilion and Wainwright in Alberta and Maidstone in Saskatchewan, for both emergency calls and scheduled maintenance.
Yes. Energy and oil and gas is a core Prime industry. We supplied two 110,000 lb/hr Groupe Simoneau superheated steam boilers to replace 1960s units at Canlin Energy’s Wildcat Hills Gas Plant, and restored a Tidewater Midstream glycol heating boiler after a Christmas Eve flame failure.
Yes. We can send a skid- or trailer-mounted unit sized to your load, or a truck-mounted 400 BHP watertube with its own generator. Hoses, pumps, fuel tanks and generators can travel with the unit.
Call 780-955-7787 for emergency repairs, or to book maintenance, parts or a rental boiler. Emergency calls are answered 24/7.
