When Mathew Stage talks about getting a head of steam, he means
it literally. He’s captain and owner of the Chautauqua Belle, one of
four authentic steam-powered sternwheeler paddle boats in North
America.
The steamer was originally commissioned in 1976 as part of the
celebrations of the nation’s bicentennial. However, over the years
she had fallen into disrepair and was on the verge of being sold for
scrap. Shortly after graduating from high school, Mathew purchased
the steamboat in January 2007. He was only 18. He then set to work
restoring her.
“The major project was replacing the entire boiler system, which
consists of 128 tubes that run the length of the boiler,” says Captain
Stage. “I spent three days of my life inside that boiler – wire wheeling
and grinding off a decade of calcium buildup.
After hundreds of hours of work and with the help of family, friends
and volunteers, the Chautauqua Belle was back on the lake to take
part in the Fourth of July, just like she was originally commissioned
to celebrate.
During the cruising season in the day, the crew runs leisure trips
open to the public. In the evenings, the steamboat is booked for
private parties and weddings. “Some of your captains are even
licensed to perform weddings on board,” says Mathew.
Though the steamer may be a party boat for passengers, it is serious
business for Captain Stage. “For 10 weeks every year we run 7 days
a week with 5 trips a day. In the season she’s running about 16 to 18
hours a day,” says Captain Stage.
“During that time she’s always under pressure,” says Mathew.
“We’re constantly taking in raw water from the lake and sending it
through the boiler. On board we don’t have a lot of room for treating
water. We raise the Ph level and remove oxygen, but the water goes
in pretty much raw.”
After six seasons of that kind of performance, the boiler was showing
real signs of wear. “We re-tubed the boiler in 2007 and our fuel
economy was great. We were about 88% efficient that first year,
but our fuel bills kept getting higher and higher,” explains Captain
Stage. “We tried grinders and physically trying to clean the tubes,
but the performance increase wasn’t even noticeable.”
That’s when Mathew called Goodway Technologies. Mark Roth,
director of inside sales, recommended ScaleBreak liquid descaler
with Goodway’s GDS-C40 Scale Removal System. “We initially ran
the system for about a day and a half,” says Captain Stage. “Before
ScaleBreak we never saw any boiler efficiency improvement. Now
the boiler is running like new,” he says.
“We saw more than $20,000 in fuel savings the first year,” says
Mathew. “We’ve since re-plumbed the boilers so that we can hook up
the circulator without it being a burden. Now I can run it every spring.”
The Chautauqua Belle is floating proof of the power of Goodway
Technologies ScaleBreak liquid descaler. If you’re ever on
Chautauqua Lake in western New York, keep your eyes peeled for
her. She plies the waters from spring to fall.
