Annual steam protection service
Published: 07 September, 2016
WATKINS HIRE says that the Watkins Annual Steam Protection Service (WASPS) has been introduced to assist all clients with steam boiler plant located across multiple sites who find themselves subject to shutdowns when annual inspections are required. In many cases a temporary rental boiler is required to cover these shutdowns to avoid downtime in production.
Watkins says following a site survey (where a one off charge for the survey applies but is refunded if a WASPS plan is taken out), a WASPS plans gives the client access to a specified ring fenced boiler package for the duration of the contract period (minimum 12 months) with an agreed number of transport movements and commissioning charges included for one fixed monthly fee to cover all sites. The company says this guarantees availability of a suitable steam boiler package to cover all annual inspection shutdowns so that they can be programmed to take place when production demands are at their lowest points throughout the year. The package would also be available to cover any emergency requirements when not in use on a site.

With the launch of the its B850 Flow Computer, SPIRAX SARCO says steam system operators can now accurately measure true boiler efficiency without the need for Building Management or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that can be costly and time consuming to implement.
JBC says there are exciting times ahead with its new product launch. The company says ‘HALO’ uses cutting edge technology to create a remote boilerhouse monitoring system, using analogue, digital and mod bus outputs, providing a critical overview into asset performance and fuel, water, steam and power are monitored in real time, delivering consumption and cost per Kg of steam raised.
WOOD WASTE TECHNOLOGY says Putzmaus is a precision-engineered tube-cleaning system that has been designed to increase boiler efficiency and reduce fuel-consumption, saving money on both energy and repair costs, whilst also saving time on routine-maintenance.
