With a legacy of excellence, Andrews Sykes has built robust business relationships across diverse industries, including sports and leisure. For over a decade, we have consistently assigned a dedicated engineer to install a 100 kW Chiller at a prominent London tennis tournament.

Crisis averted: Andrews Sykes tackles bitumen emergency

Posted Date 28/06/2023

Andrews Sykes has never been a stranger to unique and time-sensitive challenges. Recently, we encountered a particularly pressing issue when a Manchester-based fuel quality and tank risk mitigation company found themselves in a dire emergency. A devastating fire had ravaged their bitumen plant, resulting in ruined supplies that needed immediate attention.

The first order of business was to swiftly eliminate the cold air bitumen from the silo to prevent any further complications. To tackle this daunting task, we devised a truly innovative approach. Our team recommended the utilisation of a 150 kW chiller, coupled with a 100 kW air handler and 600 mm of ducting, to create a controlled cooling environment. The ultimate goal was to reduce the temperature of the bitumen, causing it to solidify and become more manageable for extraction.

With summer approaching, the client contacted us early to ensure that they had no issues before the temperature began to rise. Our team understands the importance of flexibility in customer service, which is why we went above and beyond to provide exceptional service – as we do in every instance.
