RIELLO RX premix packaged burners are available in outputs up to 3MW, offering NOx levels of less than 40mg/kWh, with high turndown ratios of up to 8:1, across a wide range of models. The company says Riello RX burners feature an exclusive design that includes a patented woven wire gauze ‘sock’ covering the combustion head cylinder. Gas and combustion air are mixed upstream of the combustion head and then pass through precision-located ports and the gauze ‘sock’ to ignite on the external surface of the combustion head. This arrangement enables a very compact flame with a diameter directly related to the burner firing rate, ensuring precise heat control and optimum efficiency at all loads. The high turndown makes RX burners ideal for systems with variable heat loads where low NOx levels are also required. t: 01480 432144 e: info@rielloburners.co.uk w: www.rielloburners.co.uk Industrial process heating equipment and solutions specialist BABCOCK WANSON has announced it has launched the E-VAP horizontal Rapid Steam Generator, with steam outputs from 1700 to 5700 kg/h produced in 5-15 minutes from cold. A multi-pass coil Steam Generator, E-VAP has been designed for simple, reliable, long-life operation. It comes with a fully integrated digital control panel including easy-to-use touchscreen operator interface, along with auto start and stop plus an option for full sequence control. A specialist low maintenance pump contributes to this simple operation, whilst E-VAP’s horizontal configuration ensures easy access to all components for both operation and maintenance. Safety is at the heart of E-VAP. Babcock Wanson says it has designed this latest Rapid Steam Generator to operate with low water content for safe operation and only simple water and chemical treatment are required. t: 020 8953 7111 e: info@babcock-wanson.com w: www.babcock-wanson.com/product- category/coil-type-steam-boilers/ SPX Cooling Technologies, a full-line, full-service industry leader in the design and manufacture of evaporative cooling systems and air-cooled heat exchangers, is commemorating the 100-year anniversary of its Marley brand, and says this is a name synonymous with the development and advancement of energy-efficient and sustainable evaporative cooling towers and components. SPX Cooling says it will celebrate this milestone throughout 2022 with a company timeline, video history, and events for employees, alumni, representatives and customers. “We are excited to honor the Marley Company founders who have fostered a long-standing culture of curiosity, drive and inventiveness throughout our company,” said Ankush Kumar, president, SPX Global Cooling. “We’re also happy to celebrate the next century of Marley, where we continue to be built for quality, powered by innovation, and committed to sustainability.” w: www.spxcooling.com/centennial 100 Years of evaporative cooling innovation Process, Controls & Plant 22 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk July/August 2022 Rapid steam generator provides reliable operation SICK says as manufacturers face rising energy bills, it has launched the FTMg with Monitoring App, an Industry 4.0 solution that can help them see the data they need to reduce energy consumption through better control of compressed air. SICK says the FTMg with Monitoring App enables production and maintenance teams to monitor compressed air continuously so they can reduce leaks, improve operating efficiency, and cut costs. Compressed air is the ‘fourth utility’ of manufacturing. According to the British Compressed Air Society, it accounts for 10% of energy use in a typical operation and rises to 30% in heavy use industries. Using data from strategically-positioned SICK FTMg flow meters, the cloud-based SICK FTMg Monitoring App visualises a wealth of both real-time and historic data about compressed air usage. w: www.sick.co.uk For Bridgnorth Aluminium, protecting against Legionella contamination and managing the water quality of its cooling tower system is essential. As part of a partnership, VEOLIA WATER TECHNOLOGIES UK (VWT UK) has assisted with water treatment and compliance services at the specialist’s production site. Internet-enabled controllers are a key tool VWT UK recommend for improving control of cooling towers systems. On this occasion, the connected controller sent an alert to the VWT UK team. Upon receiving the notification, the VWT service support manager used the remote access capability to view the system status. The source of the issue was identified as an oil leak and the team was able to recommend corrective action to bring the system under control. This swift response meant that there was no need to halt production, avoiding lost revenues and costs of up to £250,000 per day. w: www.veoliawatertechnologies.co.uk Real-time energy monitoring of compressed air Swift response avoids lost production Engineering supply chain service provider CBE+ has announced it has completed the relocation of its five divisions together under one roof in a 70,000 sq ft state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Chesterfield. The company has operated from two separate sites since 2017 when owners Marie Cooper and Chris Brown (pictured) acquired the five businesses which make up the company today. CBE+ ENP - formerly Nitec UK - is the final company division to move its operations to the CBE+ headquarters, in a move that technical director Chris Brown says will allow for complete integration of the customer supply chain. Chris Brown says, “The group provides ENP, precision engineering, wire EDM, industrial gears, and testing services independently, but our real strength lies in our ability to combine multiple services, integrating the customer supply chain.” w: https://cbeplus.com/ Multi-million-pound investment Premix burners up to 3MW
