Wellman Robey “Combination” Boilers have become an integral part of two Combined Heat and Power installations for the N.H.S Foundation Trust.
The principle of the “Combination” Boiler is to take the  exhaust gases from the C.H.P electricity generator engine and use the heat from it to raise steam or hot water. A completely independent section within the boiler (with it’s own furnace and oil or gas fired burner) guarantees that the unit will be able to provide its required output at all times regardless of the supply of waste gases available by firing the boiler in the conventional way as well as (or instead of) using the waste heat recovery section.

The two N.H.S Trust Foundations that have recently taken delivery of the Wellman Robey Combination Boilers are Countess of Chester and Aintree University (Liverpool) hospitals.

Countess of Chester has 580 beds on a single site and provides a range of medical services for over 400,000 patients a year for Western Cheshire, the Wirral and North Wales. The Robey- Loos boiler supplied is a UL-S IE Composite Boiler designed for an output of 3945kg/hr at 5barG that will provide steam and hot-water for the total requirement of the hospital complex.

These two new offerings along with many of our other solutions including LinerSCAN help you extend engine life, increases efficiency, and reduces emissions to assist with environmental compliance.

The DieselSCOPE performance analyser is designed by marine engineers for marine engineers.  The portable, handheld unit helps you monitors the combustion process in the diesel engine in real time allowing you to tune the engine whilst measuring. Using DieselSCOPE you can balance cylinder load, optimize injection timing and detect worn or damaged engine components and thus reduce the engine’s operating cost.

Oil analysis is a well established practice in predictive maintenance. Lubricant analysis is often paired with other technologies such as infrared thermography, vibration analysis and ultrasound techniques. These technologies are very useful in detecting problems in machinery before costly failures and down time occur.

At the beginning of September 2008 we were approached by two companies regarding the rental of an O&G unit for a small platform in the North Sea called Varg A. The generator was to run the Fire Pump onboard for any emergency situations, so it is basically a standby unit. We offered a budget rate for renting one of our new Oil & Gas units.

After several discussions and clarifications Teekay Norway took over the project at the beginning of 2009, and the ball really started rolling. We not only had to place our Oil & Gas unit on the platform, it also needed some modifications. Together with our Technical Manager, Kjell Olsen Oen, Teekay decided that they needed some very special arrangements onboard the platform. This meant that we had to rebuild certain parts of the unit, and also install an extra long piping construction for the air intake and also for removal of the exhaust gases. See pictures. The container also needed overpressure, because of the danger of gas.

Even on a rough sea, a crane has to be able to lower loads of up to 120 tons into the water, accurate to the tenth of a metre

She was ready earlier this year: the Seven Atlantic, an ultra modern support vessel for divers in the North Sea. Responsible for the electrical wiring is Croon-Bakker Sliedrecht, who during the test phase could rely on the services of Energyst CAT ® Rental Power.

The recent delivery of the Seven Atlantic Subsea 7 to its owner meant the next step in a truly epic project for IHC Merwede Shipyard in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. In a relatively short time the company has produced two so-called pipe laying vessels – the Seven Oceans and the Seven Seas - and has completed project number three with the transfer of the Seven Atlantic. They are currently already working on the fourth ship, which as of yet remains nameless. Starting this year, the ships will perform their duties in the deep oil fields in the North Sea.

Instrument hire can reduce capital expenditure and provides access to the latest technology. Alan Hasson from Ashtead Technology explains the benefits when focusing on infrared cameras
Through the identification of problems before they occur, predictive maintenance can save substantial amounts of money and protect plant from lengthy delays and down time. As most equipment gets hot before it fails thermal cameras have an important role to play in spotting potential problems.

Thermal cameras find application within almost every industry. They can be used to perform noncontact inspections by scanning and visualising the temperature distribution of machinery and electrical equipment quickly and accurately. Businesses are then able to locate problems or identify 'hotspots' and avoid any costly operational failures or health and safety hazards.
