boilers & maintenance The UK’s longest-standing steam expert Fulton launches the most radical change to boiler design in nearly 70 years Fulton’s new VSRT is claimed to be the most radical change to vertical steam boiler design since the company pioneered the vertical tubeless boiler in 1949! By adopting a systems-engineering approach to design and using its own ‘PURE’ technology, Fulton’s VSRT challenges the traditional heat transfer and mechanical design principles of vertical boilers. It also boasts industry-leading performance with up to 84% gross efficiency from a fully-water- backed design with no refractory. With 30+ worldwide patents pending, the spiral-rib tubeless design is a world first and creates a compact boiler with the industry’s smallest footprint (40% smaller than Fulton’s equivalent 30hp J Series). There’s only one steam boiler company that can boast over 120 years of operation, class-leading energy-saving solutions, and UK-manufactured steam boilers - CFB Boilers.

Babcock Wanson worked closely with Stolthaven Dagenham’s consultants to provide the fi nal design of the boiler house and then install and fi t it out with its EPC ES and TPC B Thermal Fluid Heaters. A large proportion of the thermal design was also carried out by Babcock Wanson with the supply of all the system valves and ancillary equipment to provide a complete system with single point of responsibility. The system also incorporates a secondary circuit to provide lower temperature thermal fl uid for the bitumen pump casing heating. The project was a fast moving one with tight deadlines, all of which Babcock Wanson met.
