In the world of air pollution control, downtime isn’t just a headache — it’s a compliance risk. At Ship & Shore Environmental, we’ve seen too many facilities cut corners on replacement parts only to face the consequences later: emergency shutdowns, botched destruction efficiency, or system-wide damage.
Here’s the truth: Not all “compatible” parts are created equal. Whether it’s a burner valve, actuator, thermocouple, or PLC module — generic substitutes often lack the precision, material integrity, or heat tolerance our systems demand.
What’s at Stake?
- Non-compliance with VOC destruction limits due to improper burn temperature or flow imbalance.
- Increased energy use when components aren’t matched to your system’s design.
- Voided warranties or damage to critical assemblies from improper fit or thermal expansion.
Why OEM Matters:
Ship & Shore OEM parts are:
- Spec’d to your exact system model — no guesswork or retrofitting.
- Tested for high-temp, high-throughput environments.
- Backed by expert guidance from our engineers and aftermarket support team.
And because we designed your system, we don’t just sell you parts — we ensure you’re ordering what you actually need. No more wrong shipments, no more cross-referencing chaos.
