Quick fuel changeover
30 July 2015
For chilled and frozen ready meals producer, Iceland Manufacturing, prolonged periods of downtime can result in thousands of pounds’ worth of losses, so when the company switched from oil to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Calor to fuel its commercial ovens in a more reliable and environmentally friendly way, it was vital the changeover was made quickly, without disrupting the manufacturing process.
The oil burners were proving both unreliable and expensive to operate, and had some leakage issues. "Following an initial site visit, Calor Gas was chosen to replace the external pipework on site and install three new LPG burners in the commercial ovens," says Tony Bennett, department manager (Engineering) at Iceland Manufacturing.
"LPG has the lowest carbon emissions out of all the fossil fuels available to those without access to mains gas, so it helps us to operate more sustainably.”
