The system records a complete operational history for each boiler installation: run hours, operational temperatures, pressures, blow down times, etc. The system can even store electronic copies of the statutory boiler log books to create a single central record for every installation.
All this information is available from a secure web-site, so facility managers can review the status of all their remote boiler plant from their desk-top PC or the PDA in their pocket.
Web-based input forms allow boiler house staff to add other operational information to the record, to build up a comprehensive operation and maintenance history for each boiler unit.
Any Pollution Control reports required by relevant Environmental Protection Agencies can be produced at a touch of a button.
The fuel and water used by boilers is a major cost to many businesses so a continuous record of efficiency enables mangers to closely monitor operational costs and quickly respond to any changes. Normally efficiency calculations require steam meter readings but where steam meters are unavailable or unreliable, boiler plant performance can be calculated using the ‘Ciber’ energy balance methods developed by STB Energy under the UK Government energy efficiency best practice program.
In addition to fuel savings, demonstrable reductions in CO2 emissions may also provide tax benefits to a business.
Constant monitoring of boiler systems can also reduce unnecessary water losses to reduce water and water treatment costs.
This system is available on new boilers and for retrofitting on existing plant.
Similar systems are available for other major plant items, including Cooling Towers and Chiller Plant.
