Following an initial site audit and steam trap survey, steam solutions specialist TLV Euro Engineering has supplied and installed a number of efficient solutions on an existing steam line at Innovia Films, with energy savings from the installation already reaching 10MW per day and £80,000 per year!
Innovia Films is a major producer of highly differentiated speciality Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) films for some of the world’s best-known brands across a wide variety of everyday consumer goods, including home and personal care products, food and beverage, confectionery, tobacco, luxury goods and industrial applications.
The company’s manufacturing facility houses film-making machines, with steam used throughout the 24-hour bubble and coating processes as well as for space heating during colder seasons.
For the bubble process, films are blown into a bubble to thin the material, which is then passed through one of eleven machines that convert the film into split sheets. These sheets are then passed through steam-heated rollers to reheat it, allowing it to relax before it is wound onto reels.
Steam is also used for the three machines on the coating process line, where various acrylic and latex coatings are applied to films that are subsequently reheated via steam batteries that blow warm air through fans to dry the coatings onto the film. While there are only three machines on the coating line, this process requires 3 and 10 BarG of steam pressure, consuming most of the steam raised at Innovia.
For many years, these processes have always seen a percentage of flash steam (steam formed from hot condensate when the pressure is reduced) vented to atmosphere. So Innovia invited tenders from several steam specialists that would look at engineered solutions to recover the flash steam energy rather than it simply re-entering the atmosphere.
The solution proposed by TLV Euro Engineering replaced the existing spray condenser with a pair of atmospheric heat exchangers to recover the flash steam energy and divert it back to the feedwater in the plant room. This meant more pre-heated boiler feedwater was available, which subsequently reduced the energy required for heating new, cooler feedwater. TLV Euro Engineering also installed a new electrical condensate return package and several flow meters at various locations throughout the steam and condensate lines to collect data.
Explaining the process, TLV Euro Engineering’s regional sales engineer John Lea says: “Innovia now has a higher volume of heated water going back to the plant room and boiler because the new recovery system sends treated water from the boiler plant out to the large condensers that we specified and installed.
“This warms the water with steam that’s vented off the condensate which, combined with the condensed flash steam, returns to the feedwater tank. This combination of using the steam to heat water and condensing steam to provide hot water means approximately three tonnes of steam per hour is being saved!”
Innovia had attempted flash steam recovery in the past, but the process didn’t work because the adopted open-vessel system – which sprayed water into the flash steam to condense it – couldn’t get enough water in to condense the steam effectively.
“Unlike our existing attempt at a direct injection flash steam recovery system, the TLV system adopts shell-tube condensers, which separate the water from the steam to increase the surface area and condense the flash steam more efficiently.” says Michael Edmondson of Innovia Films.
Commenting on the decisions to approve the tender from TLV Euro Engineering, Michael says: “The solution from TLV was more cost-effective than the others we received, and they were working with us to design a solution that worked for us and our processes, rather than something off-the-shelf. We were also impressed with the after-sales support TLV promised, which was something we weren’t confident of getting from the other suppliers that tendered.”
Looking at the data compiled to date, Innovia estimates a possible return on investment within two years and savings of approximately £80,000 a year. “We’re in the process of quantifying savings, but steam on site costs £26 per tonne so the predicted saving of over 3,000 tonnes of steam results in the anticipated £80,000.00.” says Michael.

As Balfour Beatty decommissions its Hinkley Point C Marine Works concrete batching plant at Avonmouth, two-and-a-half years after their installation and commissioning, we look at the processes and arduous operating conditions that the three Fulton VSRT steam boilers (amongst the first to be delivered and installed in the UK) have endured.
Embarking on one of the most complex marine engineering projects in the world at the time, Balfour Beatty excavated and constructed three cooling water tunnels under the seabed (two 3.5km intake tunnels and one 1.8km outfall tunnel) that will supply EDF’s two nuclear reactors at the 3,200 MWe Hinkley Point C with cooling water from the Bristol Channel.
In 2017 Balfour Beatty took ownership of a large, purpose-built concrete batching facility at Avonmouth Docks, which saw the beginning of a multi-year contract to supply 38,000 concrete tunnel segments destined for the nuclear facility. The batching plant is responsible for producing concrete segments for the reactor tunnels, with each tunnel ring consisting of six 6m x 4m sections and each of the two 3.5km intake tunnels comprising approximately 2,300 rings and 14,000 segments each.
To meet the target of producing the huge number of segments for the tunnels within the contracted period, a 24h concrete batching process was required, with steam from Fulton’s VSRT vertical steam boilers used to expedite the process by reducing the concrete curing time from a typical 24 hours to just 8 hours per segment. This allowed for 120 segments to be manufactured per day, all of which are cured in four, steam-filled automated curing chambers.
Consistency and quality are paramount in the manufacture of the tunnel segments, with engineers working on the high-performance concrete mixes since 2012. And while the design of the nuclear mix is itself not particularly special, the way it must be handled during the moulding and curing of each segment is extremely important.
The Fulton designed steam boiler system, which was specified by Avon Combined Electrical Services of Bristol and installed and commissioned by Fulton in February 2019, consists of three skid-mounted VSRT boilers packaged with feedwater tank, water treatment and chemical dosing plant and automatic blowdown.
The steam system uses over 45m3 of treated feedwater and operates at 7.5 bar to provide steam for the four curing chambers at between 55C and 60C. As approved Flogas partners, gas from six large liquid gas tanks is piped to the gas-fired Fulton VSRT steam boilers, which use 4,500 litres of liquid gas per day and are located in a plant room adjacent to the batching plant.
To ensure the boilers operate in accordance with manufacturer guidelines throughout the contract, Balfour Beatty also has water treatment and service contracts in place with Fulton who, given the Avonmouth-based location of the batching plant, can respond to any demands and be on site extremely quickly.
The VSRT steam system has operated throughout the entire batching contract on an N+1 configuration (one boiler on, one on setback and one boiler off), ensuring two of the three boilers are always operational in any 24h period.
The VSRT is the first steam boiler to emerge from Fulton’s new ‘PURE Technology’ approach, an initiative that’s resulted in a world-first design that is durable, long-lasting and boasts the highest efficiencies and ultra-low NOx emissions as standard.
With over 15 patents pending in three continents, the VSRT’s spiral-rib heat exchanger is a world first. It attains industry-leading heat transfer rates thanks to its unique spiral design, which achieves low stack temperatures by passing the flue gases through a spiral-wound heat exchanger that is fully immersed in water.
Commenting, Fulton’s Carl Knight says: “PURE Technology aims to enhance heat transfer, provide class-leading efficiencies, improve steam quality and reduce NOx emissions.
“Rather than further-improve products like our J Series to achieve these goals, PURE Technology – the culmination of Fulton’s clean slate approach to design – challenges the industry status quo on conventional boiler design by engineering solutions that are fit-for-purpose and fully-optimised for all applications.” says Carl.
Through a process of continued development and product enhancements, the renowned three-in-one COSPECT pressure reducing valve from steam system specialist TLV Euro Engineering has been upgraded and is now being offered with integrated pressure gauges as standard across the range.
Commenting for TLV Euro Engineering, general manager Michael Povey says: “By upgrading and offering the pressure gauges as standard across the range, we have enhanced the COSPECT to make it even more of a unified steam system solution. The integrated gauges also mean no additional pipework modification is required before or after the PRV, which reduces installation time and minimises process downtime.”.
Originally launched over 35 years ago, the COSPECT is a combined pilot-operated pressure reducing valve (PRV), cyclone separator, strainer and steam trap in a single component that overcomes the limitations and inadequacies of conventional PRVs and solves their many associated problems – including fluctuations in primary and secondary pressures and valve hunting and vibration – to provide improved-quality dry steam at a constant pressure and temperature.
By eliminating the conventional arrangement and combining four separate components into a single valve, the COSPECT delivers numerous engineering benefits by incorporating fewer gaskets, spool pieces and fixings, improving moisture separation and providing accurate and stable pressure control. It is also more sensitive to downstream pressure fluctuations, is reliable in operation and its unified, modular construction facilitates easy, in-line maintenance.
In addition to the engineering benefits, the single component design of the five-model COSPECT makes it faster and easier to install, is lighter than the sum of using separate components, reduces the amount of insulation required and reduces the requirement for pipe support brackets, etc.

In 2015, with business improving but original process equipment reaching end-of-life, Rebellion Beer Company bucked the trend and, with impartial advice from heat transfer specialist Fulton, replaced its ageing steam boiler for a thermal fluid system. Now, six years on, we approached Rebellion’s Mark Gloyens to update us on how brewery life has coped with the switch.
Anyone running a brewery will tell you just how critical the boil phase of the brewing process is; and when Rebellion set out on its journey from steam to thermal, they were warned that they’d never succeed in getting that clean flavour achieved from a steam-driven rolling boil.
“The move from steam to thermal was a leap of faith on our part, but the warnings received from other breweries have been proven to be incorrect!” says Rebellion Beer Company’s Mark Gloyens. “Product quality has improved because we now have more control over temperature for the wort boiling process than ever before. We’re getting a very good quality boil that is controllable and we have achieved everything we wanted from the move from steam to thermal fluid”.
Thanks to the control and flexibility that the thermal system affords Rebellion, the brewery has had the ability to achieve various size batches as and when required. Until recently, this has enabled them to process research and development batches and has been especially useful throughout the pandemic when, at the beginning, throughput was decimated because pubs were forced to close. However, as lockdowns came and went, Rebellion successfully pivoted its business and started selling direct to the consumer via a home delivery service, which meant throughput very quickly returned to pre-pandemic levels, currently two to three batches per day, with each boil lasting up to 90 minutes.
“The beauty of the thermal fluid installation is its flexibility and ability to very easily adapt our changing brewing strategies.” says Mark. “Historically we would have been doing two brews per day to achieve maximum output, but because of its flexibility, we are now able to shut the thermal fluid heater down for a day per week to deep clean the brewhouse and increase output to three brews per day for the remainder of the week. Something that would have been very difficult to achieve with steam.”
Beyond the control and flexibility, there are many other factors that have had a positive impact on Rebellion Beer Company, as Mark explains: “A steam boiler is essentially a pressure vessel and regulations state that pressurised systems must undergo an annual insurance inspection. This inspection would often take the steam boiler offline and mean our brewing processes were down for a day or more, with disruption from the downtime potentially being felt for several days after. Additionally, with even the best water treatment programme in place, steam at pressure can be very corrosive, leading to problems with steam traps, flanges and pipework, which we always seemed to be maintaining and was always therefore another potential for process downtime.
“With thermal being more of a closed loop system, we’ve not experienced the same issues with leaking gaskets, flanges, etc., making the whole installation not only look but also feel so much more reliable than steam!”.
In putting a figure on the annual cost savings of maintaining a steam system – including servicing, water treatment, chemical dosing, etc. – compared to thermal fluid, Mark Gloyens estimates that the thermal fluid system is much lower and could be at least half that of the previous steam boiler installation. And six years on, Mark estimates that the savings made compared to maintaining the old steam system – and despite the thermal fluid installation being a more expensive capital outlay initially – has certainly contributed significantly to the return on investment, with the investment now fully paid for.
Expanding on the flexibilities of the thermal fluid system, Mark has also announced that Rebellion is about to tap into the existing brewhouse line to create a small-batch development brewery and yeast propagation plant on the site. “It’s been such an easy expansion to achieve. We’ve just been able to tap into the existing thermal fluid line and use the system for another duty without impacting on everything else.” says Mark.
The new development line is capable of brewing five hectolitre (500 litre) batches and will enable development or commercial batches – such as strong beers or one-off batches that may not appeal to the wider consumer – to be processed without having to invest in a full 4,000 litre brew.
Summarising, Mark Gloyens says that whenever he’s asked if Rebellion is happy with the thermal fluid installation from Fulton, he simply tells them to come and take a look because it speaks for itself. “It’s just a neat, compact installation that’s relatively maintenance free and extremely flexible!”.
And when asked about his advice to anyone considering a new brewhouse or complete overhaul of existing plant; and perhaps sitting on the fence when it comes to considering steam versus thermal? “You obviously need to consult the experts as we did when we approached Fulton over six years ago. They were completely unbiased because they manufacture both steam and thermal fluid solutions.”. says Mark. “But for Rebellion Beer Company, a thermal fluid solution was a no brainer. It’s more cost-effective, more reliable, relatively maintenance free and a much neater, more compact system that still provides the quality of heating needed for brewing. It’s just a better way of doing it!”
With a requirement for new steam boilers with increased capacity, higher efficiency and more eco-friendly emissions when expanding their operations at a second facility in Romania, Universal Alloy Corporation had no hesitation in turning to heat transfer specialist Fulton, the supplier of steam boiler solutions already installed at its facilities in Romania and Vietnam.
Heat transfer specialist Fulton has supplied, assisted with installation and commissioned two gas-fired, horizontal RBC3000 steam boilers for Romania-based Universal Alloy Corporation (UAC), a manufacturer and fabricator of high-strength, hard alloy extrusions for aircraft structures or where precision-engineered products are critical. This is UAC’s second Fulton installation in Romania – at an all-new facility built to cope with increased demand from the airline industry – and third installation across its sites in Europe and Vietnam.
In accordance with strict Romanian regulations on the installation of new plant equipment, including steam boilers, as the OEM Fulton had to be in attendance at the system testing stage, ensuring reliable, maintainable steam could be provided ahead of a planned visit by several prestigious UAC customers. This meant that Fulton’s engineering services supplied support from the UK and, in line with current COVID-19 guidelines, had to self-isolate for two weeks following the test-fire visit.
Under normal operating conditions, the two RBC steam boilers at the new Romanian facility are setup for N+1, with steam being used to heat water in several large vessels via coils, with the water being used for quenching purposes during component processing. Steam is also being passed through coils for a heater-dryer system at the end of the same processing line.
For the steam boilers supplied to UAC, Fulton partnered with renowned burner manufacturer Weishaupt and supplied the RBCs with two low-NOx, fully-modulating burners and reconfigured the boiler steam outlet nozzles to run at just 2 bar. The use of a Siemens high integrity digital burner management sytsem means the boilers are capable of achieving at least 7:1 turndown, something not always achievable from large horizontal firetube boilers.
Additionally, unlike typical gas pressures in the UK of approximately 20 mbar or 60 mbar on the continent, the supply at UAC’s site in Romania was 1.6 bar, so Fulton and Weishaupt provided an over-protection rig for the gas components in the gas train. While the gas supply to the gas train is now regulated to 95 millibar, the over-protection rig ensures that a slam-shut system is enabled should the gas pressure exceeds 180 millibar, completely negating any possible component damage.
In addition to November’s test-firing visit, two of Fulton’s engineers visited Romania in September to service the RBC boiler at UAC’s original facility and commission the two boilers at the new plant. Again, both engineers followed COVID-19 guidelines on self-isolating when returning to the UK.
Both visits also provided an opportunity for the training of key boiler operators at UAC’s new manufacturing facility which, as well as the usual instruction and guidance, also ensured that operators were educated on the start-up procedures in both low fire hold and auto modulation modes for these particular boilers
Offering higher capacities than the 2500 kg/h maximum for its VSRT range of vertical boilers, with outputs to 4787 kg/h and a maximum working pressure of 10.34 bar, Fulton’s RBC range can be specified with matched multi-stage oil, modulating gas or dual-fuel burners as standard, with other burners available on request. The boilers are constructed to BS12953 standard, meet current and anticipated legislation and have been engineered to provide a substantial performance margin.

In this article, Fulton’s aftercare and business development manager Jeff Byrne takes a look at technical boiler house risk assessments, from their legalities to the potential savings that can be achieved.
It is strongly advised that all companies with a steam boiler have a technical risk assessment in place for its boilers and boiler house. It is required by law under the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and is necessary to comply with the requirements of SAFed document BG01, HSE INDG 436 and HSE INDG 417 Rev1, under which steam or hot water plant should be operated.
Why do you need a Technical Boiler House Risk Assessment?
Besides the legal requirement, a faulty steam boiler brings with it the risk of a steam explosion. With significant stored energy, failure of steam (or pressurised hot water boiler plant) can produce a similar level of destruction and/or devastation as a bomb, potentially causing catastrophic damage, serious injury and possibly multiple fatalities. With around 100 pressure vessel failures and at least one fatality per annum in the UK (HSE RIDDOR 2014), the importance of a technical boiler house risk assessment (TBHRA) cannot be overstated.
So, a TBHRA is therefore essential for owners, operators and managers to ensure that staff are aware of the risks and their responsibilities for the safe operation and management of industrial steam and hot water boiler plant. It is also likely to be the first thing a HSE inspector would ask to see in the event of an inspection.
A TBHRA is also a vital link in the safety chain to identify risk and develop measures to mitigate those risks, thus ensuring the safety of all involved with the plant.
We simply cannot stress the importance of the TBHRA enough, because non-compliance with the law can result in substantial fines and the likelihood of a custodial sentence in the event of serious injury or a fatality.
The Fulton approach to TBHRAs
Fulton’s method with the TBHRA requirement is to take a very collaborative approach with its clients; and use only experienced steam boiler and steam system engineers with over 60 years’ knowledge of not just steam boilers, but steam, water and condensate systems.
This highly-experienced team will scrutinise and photograph every area of risk and will produce a full report proposing and prioritising mitigation measures. This will give owners, operators and managers peace of mind that their plant may be operated safely and that all relevant guidance and legislation is supported once any identified hazards are rectified.
What are the typical findings of a TBHRA?
Unlike a vehicle MOT, a TBHRA does not pass or fail a steam system, but instead highlights hazards and the potential risk and then proposes measures to rectify any issues.
According to INDG 436 “a risk assessment does not need to include excessive detail”, but issues highlighted can include boiler specification, location, operation and condition, poor record keeping, lack of suitable/relevant training or trained operator absence cover, shortage of plant drawings and manuals, control system reliability, ventilation issues, poor/no suitable operational procedures, water quality issues, etc.
Beyond the TBHRA?
Once its assessment is completed and delivered, there is no commitment by the customer to involve Fulton in any post-assessment remedial works. But the document does highlight areas of the steam system that require attention and will prioritise the risk they pose from high priority (red) to lower priority (green). The assessment must also be made available to the boiler operator and, in the event of the sale of equipment, the new owner/operator.
However, unlike a MOT, a TBHRA is a live document that should be updated on an ongoing basis when any changes or modifications affecting the operation of a boiler occurs. This can include personnel changes, additional training, physical changes including boiler/burner upgrades, legislation amendments, etc.
Fulton can offer support to the customer once the TBHRA has been completed, or during or after the annual review. This support can be provided onsite or via telephone or video conference assistance once the review is completed.
A TBHRA also offers excellent value for money because it not only highlights areas of potential risk for owners, operators and managers, but can also identify where enhancements to the steam system could lead to improved energy efficiency. For example, the cost to replace an old, inefficient or dangerous burner could easily be offset within a few years by the fuel savings achieved through the upgrade.

In a move that will present fewer Brexit-related issues for its customers, increase its stock holding and strengthen ties with its parent company in Japan, steam solutions specialist TLV Euro Engineering has expanded its UK operations with the opening of a new 6,000 square feet warehousing facility in Cheltenham.
Commenting for TLV Euro Engineering, general manager Michael Povey says: “As we neared the end of 2020 it became clear that, whatever the outcome of a trade agreement between the UK and European Union, our customers would benefit more from the trade agreement reached between the UK and Japan.
“Until recently, we had partnered with our sister company in Germany but knew very early on that any trade agreement with the EU was going to present issues. However, we weren’t willing for these issues to lead to increased prices for our customers so, as 31st December 2020 approached and we learned more about the proposed import/export processes our plant in Germany would have to implement, we put our post-Brexit plan into action and forged ahead with plans to import stock directly from Japan.”
TLV Euro Engineering has now formally entered into trading partnership with its parent company and manufacturing facility in Japan, a move that will see the company increase its stock holding of steam system solutions in the UK from £150,000 to £800,000 worth of stock.
The investment in its UK operations and near 450% increase in stock meant the company had to worked tirelessly throughout the recent Christmas shutdown to ensure its new facility – which offers a six-fold increase in capacity on its previous warehouse – was fully stocked, operational and despatching orders by the start of business in the New Year.
The new facility, which is located at Furlong Business Park in Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham, is now fully-operational and holds over 1,000 steam system parts available ex-stock and, in many cases, for next-day delivery.

With its management team constantly reviewing the performance of the wider market and current economic climate – which are showing signs that capital expenditure has dropped by approximately 40% [Monetary Policy Report August 2020] – heat transfer specialist Fulton has taken the unprecedented decision to introduce an initiative to cut the gross margin on its VSRT steam boiler to ensure that customers from key sectors, including the NHS and food & beverage processing, will benefit from its scheme.
Commenting for Fulton, managing director Carl Knight says: “Given the exceptional nature of recent events and the struggle many businesses find themselves in, we have decided to launch an initiative designed to help the many key sectors that have themselves been assisting the wider population during the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
“We know from a recent surge in demand for servicing and maintenance that many of our customers in these sectors are operating steam boilers that are ageing and, in some cases, need replacing; and others who need to expand their capabilities and facilities to meet current demand. However, we also appreciate that current trading conditions mean capital budgets have been affected, so opportunities to purchase new capital equipment is restricted.
“To assist these key sectors, Fulton has therefore taken the decision to sacrifice the gross margin on all models from its VSRT steam boiler range for the remainder of 2020. Additionally, with many other businesses struggling as a result of other sectors being impacted or shut down since March, we are extending these discounts to all of our customers!”
Fulton’s new scheme and the discounts on offer do come with some caveats, which include:
- Discounts apply to the cost of the VSRT steam boiler and excludes ancillary equipment and/or the full project value
- The order must be placed and paid for in full before 31st December 2020 with a Vesting Certificate being provided on receipt of the Final Payment. The discounted amount will be taken from the final payment balance
- The ordered boiler must be delivered or collected before the 31st March 2020. However, we will provide warehousing free of charge until this date
With outputs from 160 to 4,000 kg/h, Fulton’s VSRT is claimed to be the most radical change to vertical steam boiler design since the company pioneered the vertical tubeless boiler in 1949! It boasts industry-leading performance with up to 86% gross efficiency from a fully-water-backed design with no refractory; its architecture makes it durable and reliable, with up to 10:1 turndown through its fully-modulating burner; and, with a mesh burner and furnace designed as a single component, achieves typical NOx emissions of less than 20ppm.
For further information on the offer, please call the Fulton sales office on +44 (0)117 972 3322 or email sales@fulton.co.uk.
Process steam and heat transfer specialist Fulton has launched SCOPE, an all-new, PLC-based boiler sequencing control system that can optimise installations to ensure energy efficient operation and improve boiler longevity.
With many facilities operating multiple boilers for their processes, SCOPE is a universal control system suitable for sequencing up to four steam boilers, which can be retrofitted to existing vertical and horizontal fuel-fired boiler installations, including Fulton’s own range of existing and planned products and those manufactured by other boiler OEMs.
Commenting for Fulton, managing director Carl Knight says: “Using SCOPE’s intelligent sequencing to provide redundancy and reliability, significant savings can be made by automating start-up and shut-down procedures, controlling and optimising main steam header pressure or temperature, ensuring steam supply is controlled precisely for the required process and balancing the load distribution across the boilers, thus eliminating extensive losses from repeated start/stop cycling of burners.”
At launch, SCOPE features a high-definition touch screen used for system programming and displaying boiler status, with values presented including firing rate, fault history, TDS value logging. SCOPE also allows remote access so service engineers can review boiler status and/or alarm conditions and control system functionality according to process demand.
Additional features include lead/lag control of up to four boilers; multiple setpoints for lead, assist lag and banked control; steam header pressure monitoring with low/high alarm warning facility; automatic changeover of banked/lag boiler in the event of a fault or increased steam demand; automated slow-opening steam valve control to assist safe operation of boiler priority, emergency steam valve and/or boiler shutdown; hot-well temperature control; and boiler status, steam flow and hot-well tank temperature logging.
For further information on SCOPE email sales@fulton.co.uk, call +44 (0)117 972 3322 or click www.fulton.co.uk.
As a leading heat transfer specialist, Fulton is all too aware of the effect that COVID-19 has had on its customers and the wider industry and appreciates that many steam boilers have been shut down during this period. So, when operations are ready to resume, businesses need to make sure its boilers and steam systems are ready too and meet the Health & Safety requirements and operational demands required of its processes.
Fulton’s advice prior to restarting is that an initial steam boiler and system assessment is undertaken to ensure that steam processes or manufacturing operations restart without risk to personnel or the business in general.
To assist its customers, Fulton is therefore offering a Restarting Workplace Pressure Systems Safely package consisting of:
This service is available for all fuel-fired and electric steam boilers, including those from and installed by other manufacturers, but Fulton needs to consider boiler and system size before quoting. A discount is available for new and existing service contract holders.
