Types of Industrial Boilers
1. Package Type Oil & Gas Fired Fire Tube Boilers
►Application: Typically used for small to medium-scale steam and hot water generation.
►Features: These boilers are pre-assembled in a factory, reducing installation time. They are fueled by oil or gas and have a fire tube design where hot gases pass through tubes submerged in water, heating it to produce steam.
2. Fire Tube Type Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB)
►Application: Used to recover waste heat from industrial processes like gas turbines or diesel engines to produce steam or hot water.
►Features: Similar to traditional fire tube boilers but designed specifically to utilize flue gases from other operations to increase energy efficiency.
3. Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG)
►Application: Commonly used in combined-cycle power plants or systems with gas turbines to generate steam from exhaust gases.
►Features: They capture the waste heat from the turbine’s exhaust to produce steam, improving overall plant efficiency.
4. Oil & Gas Fired Water Tube Boilers
►Application: Used in large-scale industries requiring high-pressure steam.
►Features: Water tube boilers feature tubes filled with water that are heated by the combustion gases. Oil and gas are the primary fuel sources.
5. Solid Fuel (Biomass & Coal) Fired Water Tube Boilers
►Application: Typically used in industries like power generation, paper, and textile manufacturing.
►Features: These boilers use solid fuels such as coal or biomass (wood, agricultural waste, etc.) to heat water inside tubes, producing steam at high pressure.
6. Biomass Fired Boilers
►Application: Suitable for industries looking for renewable energy sources.
►Features: They burn organic materials such as wood, agricultural waste, or dedicated energy crops to produce steam or hot water.
7. Bagasse Fired Water Tube Boiler
►Application: Primarily used in sugar mills.
►Features: Bagasse, the fibrous residue from sugarcane, is used as a fuel to produce steam. The water tube design makes it suitable for high-pressure steam applications.
8. Bagasse / Coal Fired Travelling Grate Boilers
►Application: Common in sugar mills and industries that use solid fuels.
►Features: A travelling grate is used to burn bagasse or coal efficiently. The combustion chamber is equipped with a moving grate that continuously shifts fuel for uniform burning.
9. Bagasse / Biogas Fired Water Tube Boilers
►Application: Similar to bagasse-fired boilers, these are used in sugar mills but also take advantage of biogas from waste processing.
►Features: Biogas from anaerobic digestion processes is utilized alongside bagasse to improve sustainability and reduce emissions.
10. Slop Fired Boilers
►Application: Used in distilleries or breweries where slop (a waste byproduct) is produced.
►Features: These boilers burn liquid waste like slop or spent wash to generate steam, often in a more environmentally friendly manner.
11. Poultry Waste Fired Water Tube Boilers
►Application: Utilized by poultry processing industries.
►Features: Poultry waste (feathers, litter, etc.) is used as fuel to generate steam, contributing to both waste management and energy production.
12. Steam Boiler Solutions
►Application: Generic term for various steam boiler solutions tailored to industrial needs.
►Features: Typically customized to meet the steam requirements of specific industries, focusing on efficiency, safety, and reliability.
13. Hot Water Boilers
►Application: Used where hot water is required for heating purposes, such as in district heating or industrial processes.
►Features: These boilers operate at lower pressure compared to steam boilers and provide a steady supply of hot water.
14. Packaged Boiler Houses
►Application: These are pre-assembled and pre-tested boiler systems, ready for installation.
►Features: They come as a complete package, including the boiler, burner, controls, and ancillary equipment. It’s a cost-effective solution for industries with limited space.
15. Industrial Heat Recovery & Waste Heat Boilers
►Application: Employed in industries that generate a lot of waste heat, such as chemical plants and steel mills.
►Features: These systems are designed to capture and reuse the waste heat from industrial processes, improving energy efficiency.
16. Industrial Biomass Boilers
►Application: Used in industries requiring sustainable energy solutions, especially in remote locations.
►Features: Biomass boilers burn organic materials like wood, straw, or agricultural waste to produce heat or steam.
17. Unity – Steam Boiler Control System
►Application: A control system designed for monitoring and optimizing steam boiler performance.
►Features: Integrates sensors, software, and automation to improve the efficiency, safety, and operation of steam boilers.
18. Energy Efficient Boilers
►Application: Boilers designed to operate at higher efficiency levels, minimizing fuel consumption and emissions.
►Features: These boilers typically incorporate advanced combustion technology, heat recovery systems, and improved insulation.
19. Industrial Boiler Ancillaries
►Application: Supporting equipment for industrial boilers.
►Features: Includes components like blowers, economizers, pumps, air preheaters, and safety devices that improve the operation and performance of the boiler.
