Daniel Thwaites Brewery
cuts its carbon footprint
D
aniel Thwaites Brewery is enjoying estimated energy
savings of more than £30,000 per year through a three-

savings are based on Spirax Sarco’s assessment of the steam
that is being saved by regular, scheduled monitoring and
maintenance of the site’s 220-strong steam trap population.
This saving should enable the brewery to reduce its annual
carbon emissions by 20,000kg.

years, but switching to a longer-term contract including six-monthly surveys offers clear advantages,
