Francis Brown has fabricated the largest single item to emerge from its Teesside workshops over the company’s 120-year history.The 32-ton vertical firing chamber is the first phase of a new environmentally friendly energy plant currently in design for EGGER UK’s chipboard manufacturing plant in Hexham. The new vertical firing chamber will house a modern and efficient 25 MW burner, while thermal oil heat from the current energy plant will be incorporated into a new steam turbine plant heat-transfer system, which is non-hazardous and environmentally friendly.
