⏰ No time for messing about when a site is down! ⏰

The EB team recently completed a tricky Certuss steam generator coil change, after poor water treatment caused it to fail and take the site offline!

Working alongside CERTUSS UK, who delivered a brand new coil to the client in the shortest time possible. The EB team then proceeded to complete the task in hand with Military Precision 👊🏻

Do the job right, do it once. 💥

📍 North East to North Wales: On the Move 📍

Some projects test our logistics planning abilities as much as our engineering abilities. This is one of them!

The EB team were tasked with managing the urgent transportation of a modular steam boiler plant, coming from the North East, right across the M62 and down to North Wales.

Once again the EB team delivered on time and under budget!

The plant is now on site in North Wales. The heavy lifting is done. Next up: is the route to getting the plant producing steam for its new facility!

More to follow.

♨️ New Boilers being prepared for the Highlands! ♨️

Two brand new Atlas Copco Rental Solutions steam boiler packages were recently dropped off at EB HQ.

Both will be getting a bespoke preparation from the EB team which includes:

💧- Bespoke water treatment provisions.

🛠️- Insurance preperarion and support for the Part A/ B inspections prior to use in the UK.

🔥- Commissioning of the burner, boiler and water treatment package, ready for sites operational conditions.

📋- Inviting the sites team members to EB HQ so a Factory Acceptance Test can be completed prior to both units being delivered.

✅ - Following the units to site in the highlands and making them fully operational to meet the clients requirements without any delays.

As always with EB Critical’s support, Full Support using only one supplier! 💪🏻

🔔 Operational savings of up to £36,000 PER YEAR! 🔔

Steam trap surveys might not sound glamorous, but for anyone running or maintaining a steam system, they are one of the most effective ways to boost efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety!

Steam traps do a simple, yet critical job: they remove condensate and non-condensable gases while keeping live steam in the system.
When a trap fails often without warning the consequences can be costly. If a trap fails open, live steam escapes, wasting energy and driving up fuel bills. If it fails closed, condensate backs up, causing water hammer, corrosion, poor heat transfer, and even equipment damage.

A steam trap survey systematically inspects each available trap in the system to identify failures, inefficiencies, and incorrect trap selection. The findings are often eye opening!

Why steam trap surveys matter:

• Improved boiler efficiency – Reduced steam loss means the boiler works less to meet demand.

• Lower energy costs – A single failed trap can waste thousands of pounds in fuel each year.

• Increased system reliability – Proper condensate removal protects pipework, heat exchangers, and valves.

• Reduced maintenance and downtime – Problems are identified before they escalate into failures.

• Enhanced safety – Eliminates water hammer and pressure related risks.

• Lower carbon emissions – Less wasted steam means less fuel burned.

Industry experience shows that 10–30% of steam traps are typically malfunctioning at any given time. A regular survey transforms a “set and forget” system into a monitored, optimised asset.

A recent EB Critical project in Gloucestershire highlights the difference a survey followed by swift rectification work makes: 48 failed traps, 50% of the site’s total were replaced with ARI-Armaturen UK Ltd ARI-CONA SC, delivering immediate improvements in efficiency with operational savings of up to £36,000 PER YEAR!

As mentioned above, steam boilers are only as efficient as the steam system it serves. Steam trap surveys pay for themselves quickly and continue delivering savings year after year.

If efficiency, reliability, and sustainability are a priority for your site, then steam trap surveys aren’t optional they are essential!

⚙️ Building Curiosity in Tomorrows Engineers 🔩

EB Critical's community programs have got straight back to it after the Christmas break!

This week the team haven't just been keeping clients assets running at peak performance. Some of the team have also been engaging with a local Scout Squirrel Drey, offering an insight into the engineering world!

By the end of the session, the children had;

- Gained a basic understanding of what engineering is.
- Experienced the design, build, test process firsthand.
- Developed teamwork and communication skills.
- Learned the importance of safety in engineering.

Its safe to say the team were very proud of how much the children enjoyed the activities and tasks set out for them. And as always we are looking forward to putting on many more community programs throughout 2026!

Some of the team delivered a session to the local Scout Squirrel Drey with the aim of introducing young children to the fundamental ideas behind engineering in an engaging, age appropriate, and hands on way. The session began with a simple discussion about what engineering is and where engineers can...
