In addition to the gas and water savings, the sustainability report also identified an 85-tonne reduction in CO2


annually, savings that can be credited towards the University’s net zero goals2 .


The University is also seeing an approximate 40% reduction in NOx emissions throughout the burner firing range.


As part of the new VSRT package, Fulton’s SCOPE boiler sequencing system3


was also specified which, as Philip Page


explains, the University sees as being vital to the installation’s longevity.


“We operate an N+1 strategy at the University and most of the time two of the three boilers are firing to meet demand. The autoclaves are not always in use and during these times only one of the boilers is needed. However, we’re keen on maintaining equal operating hours across all three boilers and balancing water treatment across them too, so Fulton’s new SCOPE system enables us to automate weekly boiler changeovers to vary the lead boiler.


And while Philip can’t attribute the savings achieved from the boiler installation to the SCOPE itself, he is confident that the sequencing system will help to reduce maintenance costs by balancing operating times across the three boilers.


Beyond the impressive savings achieved, the University’s Estates team has also noted that compared to the J Series installation, the VSRTs are noticeably quiet in operation thanks in part to the fully-modulating burners running at lower levels when steam demand is low.


Summarising, Philip Page says that in the years that the


University had Fulton boilers they really do tick all boxes. “We can’t fault their operation, and we can’t fault the Fulton service or customer support.”
