Did you know that industrial steam boilers are very popular in a number of industries? They are one of the most efficient and cost effective options for businesses that need to utilise huge volumes of steam and hot water. However, they can be noisy, especially when you need to vent to reduce the pressure. It can cause some big challenges for companies and their employees. We want to have a look at some of the key industries that rely on these boilers. Then, if you want to work with us on steam boiler silencer solutions, you can get in touch.
Medical
Easily the most crucial industry on the list is medical. We’re not just talking hospitals, GPs, and dentists here though. We also mean everything from labs to equipment manufacturers.
Steam boilers are excellent for all the various medical businesses because they can satisfy the high demands for steam and hot water. They use these resources for cleaning, sterilisation, and heating. The latter needs to be stable and reliable to prevent problems like mould.
This is also an industry where it is important to think about the noise. Sound can cause big problems in a number of ways. For example, it can harm patients and sensitive equipment. A steam boiler silencer is a great investment, especially for larger noisy appliances.
Laundry
Most people today in the UK have a washing machine in their home. However, not too long ago, they were rarer and people had to wash by hand or take clothes to a local laundrette. The industry was thriving in the 80s, with NALI saying the peak there were 12,500 businesses, ranging from small local laundrettes to massive enterprises. There are far fewer today, but many of the remaining ones, especially larger operations, choose steam boilers to supply the water and steam they need for day to day business.
Food and drink
Another crucial industry, many businesses that produce food and drink utilise steam boilers. This includes everything from breweries and distilleries to confectioners and bakers. They are cost effective and can efficiently supply large amounts of water and steam for different parts of the process. For example, a business may need resources for washing ingredients, sterilisation, cooking, bottling or canning, and more.
Paper
Creating paper is a really interesting process, whether it is new material or recycled. It involves several stages, including washing/soaking, pulping, and processing to create sheets. A number of them require large amounts of water. So, once again a steam boiler is a great option to supply it.
