A cost-effective option

If you need extra capacity to cover maintenance, temporary peaks in demand, or for the longer term, hiring could be the solution says Michael Rutter, Byworth Boiler HIre sales director.

Byworth Boiler Hire was the first to offer portable boilers for hire 40 years ago. Its range of British-manufactured steam and hot water boilers is constantly in demand over a wide range of industries from food manufacturing to petrochemical plants.

Byworth provides steam and medium temperature or low temperature hot water boilers for both long term and short term hire. Short term hire can be particularly beneficial to cover annual inspections, maintenance and peak seasonal loading.

Alongside other industries, the healthcare sector has seen the benefits, and since Byworth’s first major hospital contract in 2005, the company has expanded its hire provision to the healthcare sector across the country.

In healthcare, constant steam provision is vital to day to day operation. In many cases hospital sites require multiple boilers to maintain security of supply, and Byworth Boiler Hire’s ability to provide modern, efficient plant has led to continued success, not just in providing cover but also in fuel savings. Over £123,000 of savings were made within 12 months of a pair of new Yorkshireman dual fuel hire boilers being supplied to provide an installed capacity of 11,000kg/h at Kettering General Hospital. A third 6000kg/h boiler is taken during the winter months.

Hire boilers are often essential during periods of major facilities works, to provide cover during the project. At a leading Liverpool hospital, the main boilerhouse had to be shut down, so a pair of Yorkshireman dual fuel boilers rated at 6000kg/h and 7000kg/h were supplied and commissioned in May 2017, with a further two 6000kg/h boilers arriving on site in July 2018 to give extra cover for the next phase of the project.

Industries that have ageing plant can use the hire approach even for long-term boiler solutions. Byworth’s project management team works with the client’s in-house engineers to specify and design purpose-built boiler plant rooms including all ancillary feeds, fuel and blowdown tanks and water softening equipment. The plant rooms can be in containerised format or, increasingly, in purpose-built prefabricated boilerhouses, but both will provide a true turnkey project with minimal site work: just position, connect to services, commission and go.

Full training is available to make sure that critical operations go uninterrupted, and should there be any teething troubles Byworth’s experienced team of boiler engineers throughout the UK can quickly provide full support. Remote boiler monitoring can be offered with long-term contracts, helping to maintain efficiency and performance.

As more companies choose the cost-effectiveness of hiring, Byworth’s fleet of over 150 hire boilers continues to be increased, upgraded and maintained for maximum continuity and efficiency. Hiring a Byworth boiler, which combines the latest manufacturing techniques with outstanding quality control, provides an unparalleled level of reliability and service.
