The VSRT-E hybrid steam boiler from Fulton represents a significant advancement in industrial steam generation, addressing the pressing demands of decarbonisation and energy flexibility, whilst maintaining the flexibility and resilience dual fuel operation offers to critical operations such as medical support facilities.
Developed in response to global net-zero initiatives and evolving regulatory landscapes, this innovative steam boiler combines gas-fired efficiency with electric operation to offer a future-proof solution for facilities striving to balance operational costs, emissions reduction, and infrastructure constraints.
Hydes Brewery, an independent brewer with a rich heritage, is committed to producing high-quality beer while continuously improving sustainability and efficiency.
With steam playing an essential role in brewing, from mashing and wort boiling to sterilisation and cleaning, ensuring a reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible steam supply is not just a technical necessity, it is fundamental to the brewery’s commitment to quality, cost-effectiveness, and reducing its environmental impact.
Fulton will be using BeerX to promote its class-leading range of steam boilers and portfolio of aftercare solutions, all designed to help with the latest decarbonisation strategies adopted by breweries and distilleries.
While Fulton will continue to promote the many features and benefits of its fuel-fired VSRT vertical steam boiler and Europack and Electropack range of electric steam boilers, the company will also be showcasing its VSRT-E hybrid steam boiler.
The objectives of steam raising plant are straightforward: to release the energy in the input fuel as efficiently as possible, to transfer that energy to water to generate steam, and to separate the steam from the water for use in processes requiring heat energy.
In this short piece, Fulton’s UK Sales & Export Manager Dave Dolan looks at how the suitability of hybridisation with gas and electric energy sources depends greatly on the design and operational characteristics of the equipment, particularly in differentiating between steam boilers and steam generators.
Fulton, the leading manufacturer of fuel-fired and electrically-powered heat transfer solutions, is proud to announce that its revolutionary VSRT vertical steam boiler has been awarded hydrogen-ready status, the only vertical steam boiler to achieve it, and a significant milestone in the company's commitment to sustainable and future-proof technologies
Introduced in 2018, the VSRT is the world's first fully-wetted, refractory-free vertical tubeless steam boiler, representing a paradigm shift in industrial steam boiler design. Incorporating Fulton's patented spiral rib heat exchanger technology, the VSRT boasts outputs from 160 to 1,956 kg/h, industry-leading efficiencies, exceptional steam quality, and a compact footprint, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
Leading heat transfer specialist Fulton is pleased to announce the appointment of Dave Dolan as its new UK & Export Sales Manager. With extensive industry knowledge and experience, Dave Dolan brings a wealth of expertise to this crucial role.
Commenting for Fulton, Managing Director Carl Knight says: “Fulton looks forward to leveraging Dave’s expertise in managing a sales force, bringing new steam boiler solutions to market, and tackling the challenges of the export market, further solidifying Fulton's position as a leader in heat transfer solutions.”.
