The customer needed an upgrade of the existing boiler plant, with a new redistribution of the installed capacity to optimize steam production for the industrial process.
The generated steam is used to power the vacuum pump, a key component of the production cycle dedicated to the manufacturing of metal sheets and ingots.
The objective was to improve the plant's energy efficiency while ensuring operational continuity and more flexible management of production loads.
The Solution
A revamping project of the boiler plant was carried out through the installation of two new 6 t/h steam boilers, designed to ensure high reliability and optimized energy consumption.
The plant was equipped with:
- A capacity redistribution system for more efficient load management
- Burners with pilot flames to maintain standby operation
- A configuration designed to ensure rapid response to production fluctuations
- Dedicated solutions to improve overall energy efficiency
Results Achieved
Thanks to the boiler plant upgrade, the customer was able to optimize steam production in support of the industrial process, improving overall plant operational continuity.
The introduction of the new boilers and the pilot-flame standby system made it possible to:
- Reduce plant restart times
- Optimize thermal load management
- Improve boiler plant operational efficiency
- Ensure greater flexibility during production phases
Benefits Achieved
✅ Reduced plant energy consumption
✅ 15% annual natural gas savings
✅ Greater efficiency in steam production management
✅ Operational continuity and improved response to production demands
✅ Optimization of boiler plant operating costs
