During the manufacture of rigid packing, the varation in steam demand can be very large. BABCOCK WANSON responds specifically to this type of application with its fire tube boilers and when required the design and installation of specialist steam accumulators.

These operations can consume large amount of live steam with the incumbent high water consumption. This can result in high cycles of concentration in the boiler and large increases in total dissolved solids requiring an increase in blowdown. The effect of the water quality on the heat balance of the boiler house is substantial; therefore BABCOCK WANSON are able to offer water treatment plant adapted precisely to this application.

During the manufacture of plastic film, thermal fluid heaters provide an excellent solution for high temperature users and many other points of use at varying temperatures, both high and low.

The volatile compounds generated during the coating of film adhesives or in effluent gas from the manufacturing processes can be treated by thermal oxidation, This is an attractive solution when this equipment is coupled with a waste heat recovery boiler or thermal fluid heat recovery unit.

The processes being continuous, high boiler availability is essential. BABCOCK WANSON offers high availability and maintenance contracts with 24-hour associated technical support if required.
