Two Wellman Robey Robey-Loos
steam raising boilers installed at
Britvic Soft Drinks’ Norwich facility
in 2007 have proved to so efficient
that a similar boiler has been
installed at its Chelmsford plant.

The Norwich project involved
supplying and installing two Robey-
Loos UL-S IE 10,000 type, three pass
wet back, single furnace steam
boilers with integrated economizers,
in the company’s new Energy Centre.

The savings achieved in electricity
alone resulted in prompt payback.

At Chelmsford (Britvic’s Widford
Factory), increased oil, gas and
electricity costs and escalating repair
and maintenance costs of old boiler
plant presented Britvic with a similar
situation to the one at Norwich. Old
boilers were replaced with a Robey-
Loos UL-S IE 10,000kg/h steam
raising boiler. The new boiler
together with an existing fire tube
boiler now provide the steam that
four water tube boilers previously
supplied. Britvic are reported to be
delighted with the efficiency that
they have been able to attain.
