WESTLAND NURSERY
Pescadero, CA

Early in 1989, R.F. MacDonald Co. entered into a contract to provide a completely mobile trailer mounted high-pressure steam boiler plant for Westland Nursery. The system consists of a 100 HP 150 psig Cleaver Brooks watertube boiler, feedwater system, water softener, chemical feed system, and blowdown separator.  The unit was completely fabricated and tested in R.F. MacDonald Co. shop facilities.  On completion the unit was transported to Westland Nursery for use in steaming outdoor soil to kill bacteria in place of methyl bromide. The EPA is regulating methyl bromide out of use.  

After installation, the system worked so well that the grade of flowers produced increased substantially and weeds were greatly diminished.      

The self-contained steam plant operates on liquid propane and moves from field to field for on-site soil sterilization.
