A New Chapter for LUSH: Factory Relocation with Spirax Sarco’s Advance Design Service
Through an existing service agreement, Spirax Sarco learned of LUSH’s plan to relocate their Hamworthy factory to a new, centralised manufacturing site in Poole. This required a new steam and condensate infrastructure to support the production heating vessels, aligning with LUSH’s sustainability and safety goals. Here’s how Spirax Sarco partnered with LUSH to deliver a state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant steam system.
MEETING THE DEMANDS OF A SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE STEAM SYSTEMThe LUSH team, while well-versed in steam design thanks toprevious training from Spirax Sarco, sought additional support due to limitedin-house resources. They were particularly interested in the peace of mindoffered by Spirax Sarco’s Advanced Design Service to ensure regulatorycompliance and best practices.

Now is the time to optimise your control systems potential
Process managers could be making improvements to increase efficiency and product quality by paying closer attention to the specification of controls systems used within their facilities – that’s the current message from Spirax Sarco’s National Controls Specialist, Darren Silverthorn.
Maximise safety efficiency and productivity with wireless steam trap monitoring
Process, energy, and maintenance managers looking to maximise safety, efficiency, and productivity, are being urged to take a proactive approach to plant management by including wireless steam trap monitoring within their proactive maintenance regime.
Process is King - Keep your process working at its peak
Believe it or not, you can make this a reality through your choice of control valve. You will already know that accurate temperature and pressure control maintains process efficiency, which makes control valves an invaluable part of any steam system. So what should you be looking for when sourcing an efficient control valve?
Efficient steam trap management: How to maintain a safe, lower carbon and energy-efficient steam system
Implementing an effective steam trap management plan, doesn’t need to be complicated. Lowering Carbon output, increased production and energy savings are all benefits you could achieve from regular management.
