The new gas fired boilers generally serve admin / office facilities with the LPHW heating installations comprising a mixture of fan convectors, radiators and supply AHU heater batteries. The new steam generators serve the laboratory and factory / warehouse facilities with specialist works dedicated to the development and production of carbon fibre, reinforcement fabrics and other such preimpregnated woven materials.

The multiple generators range in duty from 2000kg/hr to 5000kg/hr of steam operating at a pressure of 10.5bar g. To reduce the installation period and to minimise the down-time of live steam services, the generators and associated equipment were pre-fabricated off site, duly tested and commissioned prior to being delivered as skid mounted Plant Rooms. In this respect, it is estimated that the works programme was reduced by some 25%, an essential factor critical to the successful completion of a project on an extremely tight critical line.
