1200HP Riello Burner Oil/Gas fired Boiler Price

A 1200-hp oil/gas fired steam boiler with a Riello burner typically has a market price of around $200,000 to $414,000. Below we introduce the factors that affect the price.

1. Boiler Market Price Range

• Asian manufacturers: 1,200 hp gas/oil fired boiler costs $200,000 – $300,000 each.

• Western averages: A U.S. government cost guide shows large‑capacity packaged boilers typically run US $255–345 per HP, implying US $306,000–414,000 for 1,200 HP.

2. Key Cost‑Influencing Factors

• Burner brand & capacity
  Premium burners such as Riello’s F5 series (used on smaller boilers) retail around US $931 each ; for 1,200 BHP you’d specify a much larger Riello industrial burner (often US $20,000+).

• Boiler design & efficiency
  Higher‑efficiency, three‑pass wet‑back or condensing designs carry steeper price tags than basic fire‑tube shells.

• Regulatory compliance
  Meeting UL/CE/NFPA standards, low‑NOₓ certifications, and pressure‑vessel stamping adds engineering and inspection fees.

• Local factors
  Import duties, shipping, installation labor rates, site preparation and auxiliary systems (feed‑water pumps, control panels) can double or triple the “equipment only” cost.

4. Vendor Selection & Budgeting Tips

• Request like‑for‑like quotes specifying boiler horsepower, fuel type (light oil, heavy oil, gas), design pressure, steam temperature, and burner model.

• Compare warranties & service: Manufacturers may offer 1-3 year warranties, but ask for them.

• Factor in lifecycle costs: higher‑efficiency units often justify their premium via fuel savings.

Conclusion

For a 1,200 BHP fuel‑oil steam boiler with a Riello industrial burner, equipment‑only pricing can start as low as US $200 000 (Chinese packaged units) and climb to US $300 000+ in North America/Europe once “buy‑in‑country” costs are included. Always obtain detailed proposals—covering burner model, control philosophy, skid vs. field erection, certifications and local services—to arrive at a realistic project budget.
