Process heating control for malting expansion September 1st 2011 The control characteristics
associated with process gas
burner technology from
Lanemark International have
been at the heart of a major
plant development recently
undertaken at Bairds Malt –
part of GrainCorp Malt.
The expansion at the site
in Arbroath has incorporated
the installation of a new
design Eco-Steep, the first in
the UK. Steep water heating
is a fundamental part of the
production process and now
benefits from a Lanemark TX
40 water heating system that
features a burner
arrangement utilising a small
diameter, multi-pass
immersion tube heat
exchanger. This is fitted
directly to a 13.5m high
water storage and supply
vessel, for the steeping
process, with the burner
control system set to deliver
process water during winter
months at 12°C, which
satisfies an essential
condition for optimum
barley growth. More articles from Lanemark International Limited: |
