Boilers make dream steam team to reduce bills

Yeast producer Lallemand GB has installed two Babcock Wanson BWD fire tube boilers with integral economisers and BW72H control system at its Suffolk plant.

The choice of boiler required flexibility, as Evert Wijnberg, project manager at Lallemand GB, explains: "In selecting the size it helped a lot that we have a good understanding of our demand pattern. On the other hand we've had a lot of 'fuzzy logic', as we expect quite some expansion on our site, but it is not yet clear what it will be."​ The results have been positive: "BWD60s have a slightly higher capacity than the boilers they replaced."

Babcock Wanson says its prestige BW72H control system alleviates the normal demands of running a steam boiler with its in-built self-checking controls and minimal testing needs.

Wijnberg says: "The more successful we are at managing the balance between the boilers and the steam demand pattern, the more we can reduce our energy bill and make the best return on investment."
