Industry Overview
The UK steam sector
Steam still provides most of the process heat in UK industry and public estates. Food and drink, pharmaceuticals, paper and packaging, commercial laundries, universities and NHS hospitals all depend on it for sterilisation, cooking, cleaning, drying and space heating. Industrial process heat accounts for about 170 TWh a year, roughly a quarter of all UK heat demand and around 11% of final energy use.
Business Description
The company designs and delivers bespoke treatment programmes built around advanced filming amine technology, which protects plant from scale and corrosion and typically cuts boiler fuel bills by 3–5%.
Clients receive monthly site visits, water testing and written reports under ongoing service programmes. Treatment is essential for boiler safety and insurance compliance, so revenue is recurring and highly resilient.
