BFS Industries celebrates a successful year in 2024. We continued to offer industry leadership, provide our customers with high-performance boiler room equipment, and grow our business. As we reflect back, here are some of our top highlights.
1. Best-Selling Product: Zer-O-Pac Spray Type Deaerators
Our best-selling product line in 2024 was our Zer-O-Pac Class “S” spray type deaerators. Spray type deaerators utilize a spray valve and a scrubber pot to reduce dissolved oxygen in feedwater to .005 cc/l. Our line of spray type deaerators are available in standard sizes ranging from 3,500 #/hr to 500,000 #/hr. Custom sizes and configurations are available, as well.
Deaerators greatly extend the life of the boiler and steam system by removing the corrosive gases in the feedwater.

2. Expanding Our Sales Team
In May, BFS Industries added another employee to our sales team in Brian A. Boozer, who has been in the Boiler/Pump industry for more than 30 years.
Brian majored in Industrial Technology at East Carolina University and began his career in North Carolina. He moved to Oklahoma to run his own manufacturer’s representative firm, and after that, he worked for a major boiler manufacturer as a regional sales manager.
Brian is happy to be back home in North Carolina and enjoys all that the outdoors has to
offer. He loves both the mountains and the beach. Brian has two wonderful adult children.
Since joining our sales team, Brian has brought a great amount of industry experience and knowledge to BFS Industries.
3. ABMA Boiler Tradeshow
In May, BFS Industries attended BOILER 2024, an industry event created by the American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA). BFS hosted a booth as an exhibiting company and was also a proud sponsor of the event.
With two days of exhibition, the BOILER Expo offered endless opportunities for manufacturers and representatives to connect one-on-one with current and potential customers, connect supply chain partners, and share solutions that advance energy-efficiency and address boiler room challenges. BOILER 2024 had more than 110 exhibitors and over 1,300 attendees, and featured boiler room tours, educational speakers, and other events.
