What places use steam boilers?

Asked by noelasun (1894points) April 13th, 2009

I’ve been trying to search for businesses/industries that use steam boilers.
Places that occur to be offhand would be places that use presses or some other machine that uses steam…

Where are steam boilers used?

you mean the thing that creates a lot of steam? We use it to make cotton appear nice during a photo shoot. That thing can burn through skin!

Factories that make polystyrene foam use steam to expand or extrude the sand like grains that make up the foam before process. Aircraft carriers use steam catapults to launch planes also. Large laundry services also.
