Aerni Steam Boiler Systems 

We have been designing, manufacturing, assembling and commissioning steam plants for over 55 years

Are you planning the expansion, new construction or renewal of your steam plant?

We deliver turn-key steam boiler systems including the appropriate steam boiler


Since the foundation of the company in 1965 up to today we are planning, installing and operating steam boiler systems in Switzerland and Europe.  

From 10kg/h up to 50'000kg/h steam: From the smallest steam boiler system, which is manufactured by Aerni AG in our own factory, to large systems, we can offer you the complete package. We cover steam systems with industrial steam water boilers, rapid steam generators and electric steam generators. We offer them optionally in a container or as a completely mobile system regardless of whether you need steam in the high-pressure, low-pressure range or as clean steam.

Steam from a single partner:  Technical consulting, engineering, technical drawings, installation and maintenance/service. You can rely on detailed advice, competent fitters and certified welders.

Benefit from our steam expertise and choose a standardized steam boiler system from our steam system portfolio.

Advantages with Aerni

You will benefit from working with us as follows:

Steam plant from a single source

You do not need a planning or engineering office. Get it directly from us, including the P&ID and 3D layouts.  

Digital image

We scan your premises and design the entire system digitally. This allows you to assess your system in advance and make adjustments for its expensively build.

In-house production/short implementation time

We prefabricate most of the steam boiler system in our factory. This is more efficient and takes less time, which ultimately benefits you in terms of price.

Service Packages

Depending on the steam know-how of your team and the size of your steam boiler system and pipeline network, you can outsource steam-related tasks to us.

 One point of contact

We help you with the construction of new systems, management of the existing ones, relocation, service, spare parts management, control and maintenance. No more clarifications with other parties, we take care of that for you.

50+ years of steam expertise

We have been focusing on steam for over 50 years and know how systems work - and why they don't work.

Benefit from our steam expertise and choose a steam boiler system from our portfolio

We tailor the steam boiler system according to your needs and combine it with the best-practice knowledge we have gathered over the years. That is in line with our motto:

"Every installation a matching unique, but 90% standardized!"

Therefore, you are benefiting of a system with a low standard price and get the advantage of a customized steam boiler system boosting your effectivity.

Our Process

Consultation + Selection

According to your needs, steam consumption profile and local conditions, we determine the most suitable steam boiler system. Then you will receive an offer for the entire system from the boiler to steam pipings and other steam components. 

 Spacial Scan + 3D Image

After selecting the steam boiler system, we scan the premises on site. From this, we digitally design your final steam boiler system and can take pipe routing and interfaces into account at an early stage.

Production + Installation

We prefabricate tanks, piping and other components in our  factory workshops. 

In short implementation windows, we then install the system at your site and connect it to the desired steam consumers.  

Commissioning

At the end, we put the steam boiler system into operation and have it approved for you by the responsible authorities (SVTI, Tüv). Should you opt for our service package, the system will be handed over seamlessly to our service department.

Steam Boiler Plants Portfolio

Our decades of experience in setting up a wide variety of plants have shown us which steam systems run most efficiently and trouble-free, and which components must be used to achieve this.

Our portfolio:

From shell boilers, to rapid steam generators, to electric steam generators

Depending on your needs, we will be pleased to offer you the most suitable type of steam boiler or thermal oil heater.

 

Do you have a steam consumption profile with many consumption peaks? Do you need large quantities of steam within a few minutes? Then we will be happy to help you with our steam systems based on industrial hot water boiler systems.

You have a uniform steam consumption? You would rather have 2-3 high-speed steam generators running in parallel to minimize your risk of failure? We can help you with our steam systems with high-speed steam generators.

You need only small quantities of steam? We build and supply in-house manufactured electric steam generators from 38-100kW. You do not need any approval or large piping. Above 100kW, we work with our competent partners to produce larger quantities of steam electrically.

You need constant high temperatures up to 350° degrees? You want the entire system to be pressure-free and low-maintenance? We would be happy to offer you our systems with thermal oil heaters.

Pressure Tank

We are certified for the production of pressure equipment according to CE1253 and manufacture pressure vessels in steel and chrome steel

Engineering and manufacturing

A short text or sketch is sufficient for us to make you an offer for the design and manufacture of the container.

We are happy to manufacture according to your dimensions or your drawing. You can also benefit from steam tanks that can be customized for you at a reasonable price.

Our speciality are vessels which are used in steam plants such as feed water vessels, condensate collecting vessels, mixing coolers, steam distributors, and others. We are happy to build heat recovery capabilities into or onto the vessels.

Aerni connects:

Steam expertise

Not all piping is the same. Steam piping requires expansion spaces and inclusion of slopes so that your steam boiler system runs smoothly in the end. 

Internal Devices

A large part of the lines is manufactured in-house. The more efficient machinery allows us to offer a better price for the whole work. 

Short Assembly Periods

Internal pre-setting and digital job site recording ensure the smallest possible assembly windows. This gives you shorter production interruptions.
