New Heated IBC Jackets Set to Save Energy & Environmental Impact

As we strive ever further to reduce our Group’s environmental impact, we are starting to take our bulk additive in IBC’s rather than into a constantly heated tank.

The lagged & heated tanks we currently use are quite inefficient. They also create the situation where we are heating the entire tank volume regardless of the actual size of the contents.

We have successfully trialled, using heated IBC jackets, to only heat what we are going to use imminently, rather than keep 10 tonnes of product at 50°C all the time. The impact and savings will be substantial, as the 3 heated tanks use around 5,500 kWh of electricity each month to run.

In an industry where traditionally additives, chemicals and fossil-based products and energy are essential to the manufacturing process, we have challenged ourselves to ensure wherever possible the environment is at the heart of our activities. We are working extremely hard to create a “greener culture” within our business.
