Getting toned up
One of the huge range of fine chemical products manufactured by Avecia at their Grangemouth site is a new chemically produced toner for use in copiers and printers
Steam and power for the Aylesford mill is supplied by an on-site combined heat and power plant.
The boiler is supplied with 120m3/h of water which is taken from the site borehole and purified using an ion exchange de-ionisation plant.
A mistake with a chemical delivery resulted in the steam raising plant being taken off-line until the problem could be resolved.
As a contingency measure, the mobile demineralisation plant plan was activated.
"We didn't, at first, know what had happened", says Aylesford's John Tyler "but with only the reserve feedwater tank, the boiler was going to run out of water within 24 hours".
Elga Process Water provided an instant response with the Aquamove mobile plant fleet which was on site at Aylesford by Saturday morning to keep the mill going.
The Elga Process Water Aquamove MORO (mobile reverse osmosis units) and MODI (mobile ion exchange systems) are installed in standard containers which are insulated and supplied with heating, lighting and all necessary safety equipment.
They provide pure water anytime and anywhere for a wide range of requirements from emergency pure water supplies, to rental for capacity management, maintenance shut downs or outage cover, with 24 hour, 7 days a week response.
"The response from Elga Process Water was great" says John, "they did exactly what they promised and we didn't lose any production".
So the UK Sunday papers were on the breakfast tables as usual.
