ETTER Engineering Provides a Boost to IHOP
The second installment of ETTER Engineering’s Inside the Job series details our work with Podojil Builders of Brecksville, Ohio.
Podojil Builders was contracted to build a new International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a city with notoriously low gas pressure. Upon discovering the restaurant equipment would require a pressure of nearly 3″ W.C. greater than local utility Philadelphia Gas Works could provide, Podojil Builders Vice President Paul Podojil contacted ETTER Engineering in the hopes of finding a natural gas booster that met several specific criteria: It had to be of the highest quality, it had to be efficient, and it had to be delivered on-time…and fast. Fortunately for pancake lovers across the City of Brotherly Love, ETTER was able to deliver on all accounts.
After discussions with Podojil Builders, ETTER’s ENGB Team went to work, specifying an ENGBP gasPODTM packaged gas booster utilizing an ETTER ENGB1 gas booster designed to produce up to 3″ W.C. Boost at 2,300 SCFH. For a project on a tight deadline, the ENGBP packaged system was perfect, as Podojil Builders didn’t have to worry about a complicated on-site installation. The booster showed up skid-mounted, piped, and wired, meaning it was able to be installed and running within minutes if the need arose.
Between the work ETTER has done at the Boston Fish Pier and now at the International House of Pancakes, it looks like we’re going to need to start seeking out combustion related work at the local gym…anyone know of a gym in need of a gas booster?
