Coping with boiler volatility
Article Abstract:
Albanese Confectionery of Merrilville, IN, opted for a vertical-tube, low- water-content boiler design when it decided to add gummy bears to its product offerings. The company picked the boiler design after a thorough examination of the available alternatives and in consideration of the safety of over 40 workers at its plant. Albanese's boiler is designed to immediately dissipate steam energy once it is formed, a design aimed at preventing the occurrence of boiler explosions.
