CASE STUDY ENERGY SAVINGS

A soft drink beverage bottling plant operates a boiler to provide steam for bottle washing and other processes.

The boiler had scale deposits as thick as 1/4 inch, fuel consumption was well in excess of system design and load requirements, and manual, hazardous chemical cleanings were frequently required. The client wanted to reduce maintenance costs and save on fuel consumption.

Trident identified process contamination which was eliminated, recommended softener modifications, and prescribed an online, all-polymer deposit cleanup program.

The Trident program eliminated unscheduled boiler maintenance and cleaning, lowered fuel costs by 35%, and made it unnecessary to purchase an additional boiler to meet increased production requirements.
