Daniel Thwaites Brewery is enjoying estimated energy savings of more than £30,000 a year through a three-year steam trap management contract with Spirax Sarco. The savings are based on Spirax Sarco's assessment of the steam that is being saved by regular, scheduled monitoring and maintenance of the site's 220-strong steam trap population. This should enable the brewery to reduce its annual carbon emissions by 20,000kg.
The new longer-term contract, with six-monthly surveys, includes repair and replacement activity as part of the deal, making it more cost-effective and easier for the brewer to manage its maintenance budget. "In the past we have had annual trap surveys done and then had to get the traps repaired at additional cost," says Mark Cockshott, projects and utilities manager at Daniel Thwaites Brewery. Spirax Sarco now carries out any follow-up maintenance automatically.
