Cereal steam savings
September 1st 2008

Weetabix is making significant energy savings following the installation of Gardner Energy Management's GEM Venturi orifice steam traps throughout its facility at Burton Latimer in Northants.

65% of the steam traps on the 80- acre site have now been converted to GEM traps, providing Weetabix with a payback of six months.

Steam is used extensively throughout the site for heating, cooking and cleaning. Weetabix had been experiencing problems with steam trap reliability, which appeared to be caused by the traps becoming corroded.

After a system review, GEM's engineers found that the condensate return temperature in certain areas was up to 140°C. The original steam traps were then converted to GEM traps and the condensate return temperature quickly dropped to below 100°C.
