PWE focuses on installing VSRT steam boilers in food processing facilities, which is expected to significantly reduce costs by 21%, while reducing carbon emissions by nearly 25% and nitrous oxide (NOx) levels by 75%.
Tracklements, a leading condiment manufacturer in the UK, has increased its production capacity and enhanced its environmental qualifications by shifting its energy supply from petroleum to Flogas' liquefied petroleum gas. The switch to modern, high-efficiency LPG Fulton VSRT steam boilers is expected to reduce the company's conversion from petroleum to LPG, resulting in significant cost savings of 21%, while reducing carbon emissions and nitrous oxide (NOx) levels by nearly 25% Reduce by 75%.
The Wiltshire-based company has been producing condiments for more than 50 years and has more than 60 handmade products, from mustard, ketchup and sauces to pickles, chutneys, jams and jellies. All of these are "handmade in small batches" using natural ingredients, these are made in a unique jacketed steam cooking pot that imitates traditional homemade methods, and they have been made from two kerosene fuel steam for the past 40 years The boiler provides power.
Ben Read, Director of Operations at Tracklements, commented: “We need to increase steam capacity to support the continued growth of our business.” He added: “But we are also fully committed to improving our environmental footprint, so we want to get rid of the higher that oil represents. Carbon footprint. By replacing the aging oil-fired steam boiler with the latest liquefied gas VSRT model, we not only increased the steam capacity by 100%, but also reduced the cost and significantly reduced the carbon emissions in the process. This is our decision A major factor in this, because Tracklements will continue to work tirelessly towards our goal of earth-friendly products."
After working with Fulton for more than 40 years, Tracklements asked them to specify a cutting-edge system to help minimize its environmental impact. Fulton also recommends Flogas as a supplier of liquefied petroleum gas, which can provide reliable supply and reliable continuous service. Flogas and Fulton collaborated to provide Tracklements with a complete turnkey, end-to-end energy solution, which also includes all necessary auxiliary equipment as well as service and training contracts.
Commenting on the project, Jeff Byrne, Fulton’s after-sales service and business development manager, explained: “By modernizing the steam lifting equipment and changing the fuel type to liquefied petroleum gas, Tracklements expects to save 21% of financial costs and reduce nearly 25%. % Of carbon emissions. Emissions. These cost savings are based on the current gasoline prices before the tax break on red diesel is planned to be eliminated in April 2022, so looking forward to them is actually much more beneficial. By running the latest full regulation, high regulation Compared with the liquefied gas boiler, combined with the potential steam system efficiency savings, cost and carbon savings can also be significantly increased by 30%. In addition, our liquefied gas VSRT will help minimize other pollutants, compared with the previous Compared with oil-fired steam boilers, NOx levels are expected to be reduced by 75%."
Tracklements has a strong environmental policy and holds the ISO 14001 green certificate certification. Reading to continue: "We are always looking for ways to increase efficiency and minimize the environmental impact of our craftsman manufacturing process... We are really happy that we have now taken a big step in this direction. Our business is also more reliable. Our tanks are equipped with automatic ordering technology, so once they reach 40%, reordering will be triggered. This gives us peace of mind and allows us to focus on making high-quality green condiments."
Jude Hurley, Business Energy Manager at Flogas, added: “This is a great example of how a simple conversion from petroleum to liquefied gas can have a significant impact on logistics, finances and the environment. The company will not only benefit from being more efficient and more efficient. Reliable, emits fewer fuels, and also prepares for a seamless transition to renewable green gas in the future. Biopropane is chemically the same as liquefied gas, so when Tracklements achieves carbon neutrality, it can be simply converted Put in without any changes to equipment or infrastructure. This is an energy solution that is truly suitable for the future."
