To celebrate our maintenance roots, PWE has a dedicated monthly maintenance feature - Maintenance Matters - looking at all aspects of plant maintenance, and problem-solving case studies - the only magazine in its sector to give such detailed coverage every single month.
BOILERS & BURNERS
The pressure is on everyone to save energy and resources, both for environmental reasons and to save money. For steam users, reverse osmosis (RO) can deliver a step-change in energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint, says Mike Griffin, Spi The emphasis this year is going to be on using technology, servicing and clever tried and tested techniques to improve efficiencies and achieve these goals, according to Mike Baker, burner division director for Nu-way. Here, he looks at how to save Bristol-based steam boiler specialist Fulton Limited has supplied Advanced Plasma Power (APP) with one of its Electropack EP60 steam boilers, which is said to have almost tripled the steam capacity at the company’s Swindon-based Gasplasma test facili Fulton was established in Bristol in 1966 to manufacture a range of vertical tubeless steam boilers. Three additional water heating appliances from Andrews Water Heaters and Potterton Commercial, both part of Baxi Commercial Division, have been supplied for installation in Manchester United’s Old Trafford Stadium. Nick Campey, national accounts director of heating and cooling hire specialist, Watkins Hire, outlines the pitfalls of managing temporary heating equipment on site and the help on hand from GSM telemetry technology. PWE looks at how meeting emissions targets can help to reduce costs too. Featuring constantly in the headlines, environmental sustainability has never been so important for organisations of all types. Such pressure is leading many plant engineers to explore ways to reduce boiler house energy consumption. A common idea is G.P Burners, part of the Wellman Group, has been instrumental in helping Syngenta - a leading agribusiness committed to sustainable agriculture through research and technology - in achieving a 26% reduction in energy consumption by its boiler plant. |
