Steam boiler cuts cooking time for Lyons Seafoods
As part of a £3.5M expansion programme, Lyons Seafoods, one of the largest prawn and seafood processors in the UK, installed a fully-packaged plant room from Fulton Boiler Works for a new processing and packaging line.
The boiler plant room, which contains two dual-fuel RBC1250 boilers plus ancillary equipment, was built at Fulton's and delivered to site as three modular skid-mounted packages - one for each of the boilers and one for the ancillary equipment. The skids were then mounted on to a prepared concrete base, connected to site services and covered with a Quinshield composite housing.
The new processing and packaging line has improved the cooking process at Lyons and changed the way the company operates. The old processing line used thermal fluid boilers to supply hot water via heat exchangers. The new system will use steam from the Fulton plant room for the thawing and cooking process, as well as for clean-in-place services and hand washing.
Following the completion of the final phase of the expansion programme, the old thermal fluid system will be decommissioned and the two RBC1250 boilers, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, will supply steam for both cooking lines.
