Energy efficiency is one of the key determinants of the company’s competitiveness and sustainable development. High energy costs force companies to seek more effective solutions in heating and steam production processes. In this blog, let’s look at three major upgrades that were made to our client’s boiler house as well as the benefits they bring.
Replacement of the old deaerator – long-term investment in the safety and efficiency of the boiler system
The Deaerator is an essential installation in boiler systems that drains oxygen and other dissolved gases from the water. If the Deaerator is unable to perform this task effectively enough, it can cause corrosion in boiler and pipeline systems, shortening their life span and increasing maintenance costs.
- At our client facility, the old Deaerator was swapped for a modern and energy efficient model that provides:
- More efficient discharge of gases from water;
- Less heat loss;
- Longer boiler and pipeline life;
- Automated action that reduces human engagement and the likelihood of errors.
This upgrade allows the customer to reduce operating costs and improve the long-term efficiency of boilers.
Preparation of new boiler feeding water – path to more efficient steam production
Boiler efficiency is closely related to water quality. Underpurified feeding water can cause boiler deposition, reducing heat transfer and increasing spending. It can also contribute to corrosion of boiler interior surfaces, causing unforeseen repairs and downtime.
To improve the efficiency of the boiler, a water treatment system was introduced at our client facility that provides:
- Higher quality water by reducing deposition in the boiler;
- Lower maintenance and maintenance costs;
- Significant energy savings, as cleaner water makes it possible to convert heat into steam more efficiently;
- Significantly reduced blowing of the boiler, which reduces fuel consumption in the steam production process;
- Longer boiler life.
Studies and experience have shown that quality prepared feeding water can reduce fuel consumption by 10-25%, which means significant savings in enterprise costs in the long term.
Significant fuel economy and sustainable operation
The improvements made – replacing the deaerator, a new feeding water treatment system and heat recovery solutions – provide our client with significant fuel economy and improved boiler house performance.
Such solutions represent an important step towards a sustainable industry, helping companies reduce energy costs, extend plant life and reduce environmental impacts.
