CERTUSS supplied a 600kg/hr TC gas fired steam generator for a 5000 litre still and other processes. Alan Bottomley, Co-Founder and Head Distiller at Giraffe Distillers gives his experience on how using steam is the best heating source against other stills that use heating oil and electrical elements.

Head Distiller and Co-Founder Alan Bottomley about working with CERTUSS

"We started with a 35-litre still, but as we grew, we realized that using Steam for distillation gave us rapid heat-up times, excellent control, and lower maintenance costs."

"With Steam, we have instant heat straight away, and we can ensure consistency in cutting our products electronically by temperature."

"Using steam gives us a rapid increase in temperatures and very good control, while saving a lot of cost in our energy usage."

"Comparing the CERTUSS boiler steam usage rather than using electrical usage, we see far rapid heat-up times and greater consistency through our products."

"The advantageous usage of using steam again is safety, heat-up control, shutdown, lower maintenance costs, and fire safety within the building."
