FULTON has announced it has strengthened its aftercare/service department with the appointment of two senior service engineers, a service controller and a service engineering apprentice. Fulton’s Jeff Byrne says: “These appointments are key to a department and team that is growing not just from an increase in sales of our VSRT and electric boilers, but also attracting new customers, many of which are operating steam boilers from other manufacturers.” Phil Rich and Phil Copeland are appointed as senior service engineers, with Phil Rich taking responsibility for the northern-area service team and Phil Copeland the southern- area team. Each senior engineer oversees a team of four Fulton engineers and, as required, additional subcontractors. Marta Alvarez Gonzalez (pictured) joins as service controller with responsibility for overseeing area service engineers, office-based aftercare/service coordinators and sub-contractors. Commenting, Marta says: “My role is a dynamic one as I’m involved in multiple stages and processes, from initial quotations through to completed installations, invoicing, aftersales and aftercare. I also have responsibility for scheduling boiler servicing and ensuring that our service engineers are responding to service contracts and call-outs in a fully coordinated manner.” To further strengthen its aftercare department, Fulton has appointed Hayden Openshaw, a service engineering apprentice that joins the northern-area service team and is studying a Level 3 apprenticeship as a maintenance & operations engineering technician at Manchester’s Trafford College. t | 0117 972 3322 e | sales@fulton.co.uk w | www.fulton.co.uk Following the launch of its new Premium Range of fire tube steam boilers in 2017, BABACOCK WANSON says it has expanded the range with the addition of coil type steam boilers. The company says the Premium Range is designed to provide customers with a boiler that meets the very latest safety and operational guidelines at an “off the shelf” price and with shortest practicable delivery time. The latest addition is the VAP Premium Range of fully automated coil type steam boilers with standard outputs from 150 to 1500 kg/h at a 12 barg design pressure. They are available with a range of control options. VAP Premium Range Coil Type Steam Boilers all feature three full gas passes, plus an in-built combustion air pre-heater to give high operating efficiency. t | 020 8953 7111 e | info@babcock-wanson.co.uk or go to w | www.babcock-wanson.co.uk Coil type steam boilers During 25 years of providing solids pumping and mixing solutions to numerous sites in the UK and Ireland, P&M PUMPS says it has met the demands of some of the most varied, large scale and interesting applications and a good example of this is the recent supply of 2 self- priming Vaughan Chopper pumps to replace 2 dry-dock sump scavenge pumps in Aberdeen Harbour. The existing scavenge pumps, originally installed to provide a duty of 600gpm at 35ft head, including a 7” suction lift, were failing due to problems of blockages. The solution was to replace the existing dual macerator and sump scavenge pumps with progressing cavity pumps, specifically Vaughan Chopper Pumps with motors rated at 18.5kW at 1470 rpm, 415V/3ph/50Hz. t | 01487 830123. e | matt@pumpmix.co.uk w | www.pumpmix.co.uk Chopper pumps solve pumping problems SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES a leading supplier of sensor, industrial control, power management and electrical protection solutions, has announced it has published a new white paper that shows how new technology water pumps with pressure sensors are meeting the needs of 21st Century living. Distributing water on a large scale has been a challenge that the world has tackled for decades. It is a particular challenge in high-rise buildings. The white paper looks in particular at how ‘old technology’ water pumps that tend to operate at full speed or not at all are being replaced by Variable Speed Pumps (VSP) that use a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) or Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to continuously optimise the pump speed and power consumption while maintaining constant outlet pressure of the pump. w | www2.sensata.com/water Aftercare department strengthened New technology water pumps 40 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk September 2019 Energy, the Environment & Water The selection of the most effective temperature and process burner control system can be one of the key factors that impacts on the overall efficiency of a gas-fired industrial recirculating oven or dryer, particularly in terms of energy usage. That is the proven view of LANEMARK COMBUSTION ENGINEERING who says it has designed, manufactured and installed a wide range of process gas burner systems worldwide. “As with the FDGA design, FDB burners offer flexible, high turndown control of both gas and air with benefits seen particularly across a range of oven, dryer and spray-booth applications,” says Adrian Langford, general manager. “This is clearly relevant in the surface treatment sector in areas such as paint spray-booth air heating – for both spray and bake cycles – and with paint drying and curing ovens.” t | 0247635 2000 e | info@lanemark.com w | www.lanemark.com New burner design
