For design and supply of steam accumulators, David Oakland Associates are the leading specialist consultants. In the key areas of system design and control, the expertise of David Oakland Associates is unrivalled. Steam accumulation is the process of storing surplus steam produced in the boiler at times of low demand for subsequent release to meet the consumer requirements at times of high demand. Any industrial process having a variable demand for steam and where an effective differential exists between boiler and process pressures can benefit from the addition of a steam accumulator. Learn more about David Oakland Associates, the technology of steam accumulation and the benefits of steam storage, now and in the future. |

An increasing environmental awareness, particularly of the effects of global warming, is widely evident amongst the developed nations of the world. "There is now widespread acceptance that controlling the emission of greenhouse gasses, particularly carbon dioxide, is going to be one of the major challenges facing mankind this millennium" says the UK National Energy Foundation. Legal as well as moral obligations to reduce CO2 emissions will call for contributions from all the major sectors of energy use and therefore attaining higher efficiency in the use of energy will become a compelling preoccupation for industry world-wide. As rising fuel prices erode competitiveness, environmental issues and particularly the acquisition of energy efficient technologies will rise to the top of the boardroom agenda. 'Steam storage', as an energy efficient and widely adaptable technology, has a vitally important role to play. Its potential for reducing fuel consumption makes it a very real and effective tool for meeting environmental objectives. Can your business afford not to invest in this technology?

A steam accumulator can maximise your operational effectiveness. Just some of the practical advantages to be gained are instantaneous response to variable demands, constant process conditions and the ability to operate with smaller boilers. Bottom line benefits derive from reduced fuel consumption through boiler load stabilisation, coupled with enhanced product quality and improved productivity. The theory of steam accumulation can be successfully applied to any steam dependent batch process. Its use therefore extends into all areas of manufacture - be it food, drink, chemicals, textiles, paper and board, EPS, pharmaceuticals, rubber etc., and all manner of what might be regarded as more specialised uses. For most clients, the first stage is an application study for 'steam storage' including a review of boiler utilisation and steam distribution. Where appropriate, David Oakland Associates will study all aspects of your steam supply system, demand profiles and pipework design. Recommendations will then be made for the most cost effective, economic and operationally advantageous solution for implementing steam accumulation. |

David Oakland Associates are the recognised experts on steam accumulation and can provide solutions to your boiler peak load problem, or can optimise the sizing and selection of your new boiler plant. Experience in the design of 'steam storage' systems spans over 30 years and hundreds of accumulators have been supplied to a widely diverse cross section of industry throughout the UK and overseas, contract values reaching £1/4 million. Novel uses of steam accumulation have included a floating facility for testing steam turbines on nuclear submarines, bogey mounted units for vacuum fume extraction on de-coking hoods at a steel mill, and the supply of superheated accumulated steam for the testing of critical components destined for use in the reactor of a nuclear power station. Through continuing leading edge development, particularly on control methods, David Oakland Associates remains at the forefront of this specialist technology and has increased the range of commercially viable applications by improving system performance. |
