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 COMBAT HEATING SOLUTIONS has announced it has strengthened its team in the UK with the appointment of Nick Winton as a consultant for its low intensity radiant heating business.

Over the past few years THORITE reports it has been able to show customers how they can reduce their energy wastage, save considerable expenditure and improve their processes. One of the latest customers to benefit from Thorite’s expertise was a concrete products manufacturer in Yorkshire who is saving almost £3,000 per year having replaced two ageing, energy consumptive compressors with two new HPC compressors. Thorite’s key account manager, Steve Bradbury offered to data-log the two ageing compressors over a period of seven working days to assess their overall condition. It was calculated through this data- logging exercise that the company could save almost £3,000 in energy costs per year by upgrading. t | 0800 034 5850 w | www.thorite.co.uk Reducing energy costs BELL FLOW SYSTEMS has announced the introduction of the Dynasonics TFX-5000 ultrasonic clamp-on flow and energy meters manufactured in the United States by Badger Meter. The company says designed for non-invasive, ultrasonic transit time flow measurement of liquids, these flow meters are ideal for use in water and wastewater treatment, Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning (HVAC) and oil and gas applications. TFX-5000 ultrasonic clamp-on flow and energy meters are a versatile solution for measuring volumetric flow and heating/cooling rates in clean liquids as well as those with small amounts of suspended solids or aeration, such as surface water or raw sewage. Typical applications include water mains, reclaimed water, lift stations and booster pump stations in water and wastewater or the energy transfer of chilled water (cooling) and glycol/hot water (heating) in HVAC systems. t | 01280 817304 e | mail@bellflowsystems.co.uk Aftercare department strengthened 44 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk October 2019 Energy, the Environment & Water On a recent Yorkshire Water contract J N Bentley of Skipton was faced with the complexity of replacing approximately 25m of a 350mm diameter rising main pipe at Whitby, which was situated within a shaft. J N Bentley employed PMP Utilities of Burnley to install the rising main after using WINN & COALES (DENSO) SeaShield 80 system to provide protection from the sea water. To make the installation easier the SeaShield 80 was applied to the barrel lengths of the pipe prior to lifting the 25m long pipe into place. PMP Utilities then applied the system to the bolted flanges in-situ. SeaShield 80 System comprises Denso S105 Paste, Denso Marine Piling Tape, Densoclad Tape and Denso SeaShield Smart Band. Densyl Mastic was also used to profile the joints. t | 020 8670 7511 e | mail@denso.net Protecting marine-side rising main Ultrasonic flow meter for liquids
