British Bakels is reported to have
knocked almost 6.5% off the
combined cost of energy and water to
its boiler, thanks to a flash steam
recovery system from Spirax Sarco.
The system recovers flash steam generated by blowdown from the main boiler at the company's Bicester site.
Bakels had minimised the water released during blowdown with an automated system from Spirax Sarco, which monitors the build up of total dissolved solids in the boiler. Any flash steam generated during the process was being discharged, rather than recycled, until the local Spirax Sarco engineer saw an opportunity to recover this lost energy.
