Fulton to promote solutions for brewery decarbonisation strategies

Heat transfer specialist Fulton will be using BeerX to promote how its classleading fuel-fired and electric steam boilers and portfolio of aftercare solutions can help with a brewery ’ s or distillery ’ s decarbonisation strategy and put your company on the Road to Net Zero .
While Fulton will continue to promote the many features and benefits of its Classic and award-winning VSRT vertical steam boilers the company will , at a time when fuel costs are soaring and efficiency is vital to an organisation ’ s on-going strategy , also be promoting its range of electric steam boilers .
Some believe that electric steam boilers are superior to fuel-fired steam boilers in many ways , believing that using electric boilers may be less expensive than using a fuel-fired boiler in the long term , whilst also possibly being more environmentally friendly .

Using Fulton ’ s portfolio of electric steam boilers as an example , including Compack , Electropack and Europack models , less ancillary equipment is required than a traditional steam boiler , therefore helping to reduce the installation costs that come with a fuel-fired boiler . Electric boilers also generally have a smaller footprint and can therefore fit into smaller areas thanks to the way they are constructed and the lack of ancillaries that a fuel-fired boiler needs to operate . Additionally , because no flue system nor fuel supply is required , electric steam boilers can sometimes be located closer to the process , which reduces pipe work losses and improves steam system efficiencies .
However , this doesn ’ t mean the end for fuel-fired boilers which , given the correct infrastructure and process requirements , will play a huge role in a company ’ s decarbonisation strategy .
Beyond its product portfolio , the company will also be showcasing the many solutions on offer from its aftercare division , which can support Fulton ’ s own installations and those from other boiler manufacturers .
As well as offering boiler spares and repair service for all makes and types of heat transfer equipment , Fulton ’ s aftercare portfolio also includes accredited boiler operator training to INDG436 and BG01-R2 , technical boiler house risk assessments , boiler and water treatment service contracts , water treatment training to BG04 and EN12953 , steam trap surveys , site mass balance assessments and system design , etc .
