Industrial Boiler Types

The word boiler covers a wide family of equipment, and choosing the wrong type is one of the most expensive mistakes a facility can make. The right boiler depends on what you are burning, how hot you need the output and whether you want electricity, process heat, or both.

The Main Families

• Biomass boilers, which burn wood chips, pellets or agricultural residue to raise steam for power or process heat.
• Waste heat boilers, which recover heat from a process or engine exhaust that would otherwise be wasted.
• Thermal oil heaters, which circulate a heat-transfer fluid instead of water for high-temperature duties without high pressure.
• Waste-to-energy boilers, which burn refuse-derived fuel and other non-recyclable wastes.

Matching the Boiler to the Duty

A biomass CHP boiler sized for a sawmill’s wood waste serves two masters at once, generating electricity while the leftover steam dries lumber. A thermal oil heater suits processes that need high temperatures but want to avoid the pressure and water treatment a steam system demands. The boiler is only the right fit when its fuel, output and temperature are matched to the plant it serves.

Choose the Boiler Your Plant Actually Needs

The wrong boiler burns capital for years, in fuel, maintenance and lost efficiency.

Klean Industries engineers and delivers turn-key thermal and waste-to-energy systems matched to the fuel, output and temperature of the plant, including three recovered carbon black plants delivered in India over the past two years.
