Winner of the IChemE Award for
Energy for its Flash Recovery Energy
Management Equipment, Spirax
Sarco was recently a runner-up in
the Industry category of the 2009
Carbon Trust Innovation Awards.

The company estimates that
FREME has saved about 10,000t of
CO2 to date in the UK and this is
expected to increase to about
100,000t over the next five years.

FREME provides a closed steam,
system and transfers heat from the
flash steam and recovered condensate
into the high pressure side of boiler
feed pumps. Feedtank temperatures
can exceed 100°C without causing
pump cavitation, so virtually all
returned energy is used by the system.
