Fulton Boiler Works has designed, supplied, installed and commissioned a fully-packaged, prefabricated steam plant room as part of a refurbishment programme for South Wales-based St Joseph's Hospital
To cope with this growth and meet future demand, City Linen secured a new two acre site in early 2004 and spent ten weeks redesigning the facility to accommodate machinery, which included the specification and installation of an RBC3000 horizontal steam boiler - the largest boiler manufactured by Fulton in the RBC reverse fired range.
The boiler, which replaced a Fulton 60J, is providing steam pressure for a Lavatec 14-stage 50kg batch washer with three Lavatec 100kg steam dryers, three Kasmin 50kg dryers, three Broadbent 350lb extractors and one three-roll and two four-roll Baker Perkins calendars.
Operational demand on the boiler can be as much as ten hours a day seven days a week.
The 60J vertical steam boiler removed from the facility has been serviced and re-commissioned for City Linen's sister company City Hygiene Services, where it is used to raise steam for the garment section.
Explaining the choice of boiler, City Linen's operations director Mark Allen says: "Fulton came highly recommended by our installation team and was chosen for their price competitiveness, boiler quality, next day ex-stock spares delivery and service packages".
" We received excellent and efficient service from every member of the Fulton team involved in the project".
" Any problem solving, even in areas that weren't Fulton responsibility, were quickly dealt with by their sales engineers, whose knowledge and efforts went beyond all our expectations" he says.
Fulton's nine-model RBC range offers capacities from 957 to 4787 kg/h and operating efficiencies in excess of 90% (nett C.V.).
It can be specified with matched Nu-way oil, gas or dual fuel burners as standard, with other burners available on request, including a new ECA approved version.
Among the special features of the RBC range are 100% NDT of all shell, furnace and tube plate welds, a large steam space with low steam release velocities and large furnace volume for low emission levels.
The pressure vessel is covered by a three year extendable warranty and, as with all Fulton boilers, the RB range is fully tested before leaving the works and is commissioned by Fulton engineers.
