Fulton is delighted to announce the appointment of Stephen Finch as applications engineer. Stephen joined the leading steam boiler and heat transfer specialist just as the UK government announced its lockdown measures to combat Covid-19, but that hasn’t prevented Stephen, who has a degree in mechanical engineering and background in design engineering, from absorbing himself in his new role.
Commenting for Fulton, managing director Carl Knight says: “As we continue to innovate and look at new heat transfer solutions, like the multi-award-winning VSRT steam boiler, Stephen will play an essential role in product development. He will also be assisting the quality department in ensuring compliance for the company’s latest range of heat transfer equipment, including our fuel-fired and electric steam boilers; and providing engineering support for customers requiring bespoke skid-mounted boiler solutions featuring ancillaries including water treatment, chemical dosing and blowdown.”
Fulton has taken steps to prioritise front line facilities during this very difficult time for the country, and we wish to assure all customers that we already have additional service engineer/technician capability, critical spares and technical support in place to support the fight against Covid-19.
We will endeavour to support all customers, including those with steam boilers not manufactured by Fulton, so the health service, private hospitals and all others involved have the best support possible over the coming months.
In this short blog Leigh Bryan, national consultant specialist at heat transfer specialist Fulton, looks at the costs associated with shell and tube steam boiler pressure vessel repair (and asks whether you really should be questioning its cost or the value of your peace of mind).
Whether you’re looking at a multiple tube repair or furnace section replacement (the infamous D Patch Repair), the costs associated with pressure vessel repair can quickly and easily begin to spiral.
The actual cost of a repair can run into tens of thousands, with certified materials, coded welders, insurer-appointed NDT inspectors and, in the case of D patch repairs to conventional 3-pass boilers, refractory replacement.
FOODEX 2020 HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO THE ONGOING UNCERTAINTIES SURROUNDING COVID-19. THE SHOW HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR 12-14 APRIL 2021.
Heat transfer specialist Fulton will be using Foodex to showcase its range of fuel-fired and electric steam boiler solutions, launching its all-new boiler sequencing control system and promoting the many solutions on offer from its aftercare division.
Launched at Foodex in 2018, Fulton will continue to promote the many radical features and benefits of the multi-award-winning VSRT vertical steam boiler with the stand featuring a cut-away demonstration model of the VSRT-30 and a typical example of a skid mounted solution for food and beverage processing facilities that features a VSRT-15.
Fulton will also be using its stand to launch the company’s all-new boiler sequencing control system which, with many food processing facilities operating multiple steam boilers, can optimise installations to ensure energy efficient operation and improve boiler longevity.
With the two types often being confused, Carl Knight discusses the differences between shell and tube fired steam boilers and steam generators.
Raising Steam
The objectives of a steam raising plant are simple. To release the energy in the input fuel as efficiently as possible; to transfer the released energy to the water and raise steam as efficiently as possible; and to separate the steam from the water ready for export to the plant, where the steam energy (heat) can be transferred to the process.
Having recently announced a series of appointments for its aftercare/service department, leading heat transfer specialist Fulton is continuing to strengthen its UK team with a number of senior roles changes.
Having joined Fulton in May 2017, Leigh Bryan has assumed the role of national consultant specialist at the company.
Commenting on the new role, managing director Carl Knight says: “In his previous role, Leigh was instrumental in successfully integrating the VSRT into Fulton’s current portfolio and introducing it to the UK market as the most radical change to vertical steam boiler design since Fulton pioneered the vertical tubeless boiler in 1949.
