Move from fossil fuel to biomass. Pay only for the steam.

Steamax converts your oil, gas or coal-fired boiler or thermic fluid heater to biomass, or builds a new one at your plant. We can also own and run it, so you pay only for the steam or heat you use, with no capital outlay.

One tariff covers the whole boiler house

Capital

We finance, build and own the boiler or thermic fluid heater, or fund the conversion of your existing one. Your balance sheet stays clear of the plant.

Fuel

We source, process and deliver the biomass fuel. Fuel is the biggest part of what steam costs to make, so we carry that risk, not you.

Operation

Steamax operators run and maintain the plant, and we collect and dispose of the ash. You stop hiring, training and covering shifts for boiler duty.

Steam and heat are utilities. You buy electricity by the unit and leave the power station to someone else. Steamax offers the same for steam and heat: we own and run the biomass boiler or heater at your plant, and you pay for what your process uses.

Compliance

The same team controls the fuel, the combustion and the pollution control equipment, so emissions stay inside the limit as norms tighten.

Service

Steam at the pressure, or heat at the temperature, your process needs, metered at the boundary of your plant and written into a service agreement.

Three ways to move from fossil fuel to biomass

Whatever your plant burns today, Steamax can take it to biomass. Choose the route that fits your equipment and your capital plans.

Convert your boiler or heater

We convert your furnace oil, diesel, gas or coal-fired boiler or thermic fluid heater to run on biomass. A standby unit keeps production going during the changeover.

Buy the conversion

We convert your furnace oil, diesel, gas or coal-fired boiler or thermic fluid heater to run on biomass. A standby unit keeps production going during the changeover.

BOOT

We convert your furnace oil, diesel, gas or coal-fired boiler or thermic fluid heater to run on biomass. A standby unit keeps production going during the changeover.

Build a new boiler or heater

For a new plant, an expansion or a boiler due for replacement, we design and build a new biomass-fired boiler or thermic fluid heater sized to your load.

Buy it

We convert your furnace oil, diesel, gas or coal-fired boiler or thermic fluid heater to run on biomass. A standby unit keeps production going during the changeover.

BOOT

Steamax builds and owns it, supplies the fuel, runs it and disposes of the ash under a long supply agreement, typically 10 to 15 years, and transfers it to you at the end.

Let us run your existing boiler

For a boiler you already run on biomass, Steamax can take over the fuel and the operation, or take the whole boiler onto its own books.

BOOT means build, own, operate, transfer. Steamax funds and owns the plant, supplies the fuel, runs it, disposes of the ash, bills you for the steam or heat, and hands the equipment to you at the end of the term.

Steam-as-a-Service or running it yourself

What changes on your side when Steamax owns the plant and you buy the steam or heat.

Upfront capital
None. Steamax funds the boiler or heater, or the conversion of yours.
Equipment, installation and civil works come out of your budget.
What you pay for
Yahan Steamax ka pricing text likho (jaise: sirf steam ke tonnes ka paisa).
Fixed plant, crew and upkeep costs, plus fuel.
Fuel
Sourced, processed and quality-checked by Steamax, with price terms agreed in the contract.
You buy and store it, and absorb the price and quality swings.
Operations
Steamax operators and maintenance crew.
Your team hires, trains and supervises.
Emissions
Fuel, combustion and pollution control stay with Steamax, so compliance keeps pace with tighter norms.
You upgrade pollution control and answer for stack readings yourself.
Ageing equipment
Steamax carries the inspection, repair and replacement risk on the plant it owns.
Older boilers face remaining-life checks and possible pressure limits. Replacement is your capital.

What moving from fossil fuel to biomass looks like

Biomass fuel is made from farm and wood residues such as cashew shells, sawdust and groundnut shells. Here is what the switch has meant for plants we have converted.

48%

lower monthly fuel cost

A furnace-oil boiler moves to biomass

A 5 TPH boiler that burned furnace oil switched to biomass. Monthly fuel cost fell by 48% and production carried on, with only 6 to 8 hours of downtime for the changeover.

40%

less fuel burned

A pharma plant automates its boiler

A manually fired boiler with unstable steam pressure moved to automatic fuel feeding on cleaner biomass. Fuel use fell from 1,000 kg/hr to 600 kg/hr and steam pressure steadied.

4 TPH

gas to biomass

A beverage maker in Goa goes hands-free

A gas-fired boiler now runs on biomass with fuel feeding and ash removal fully automatic, so nobody hand-fires the boiler or rakes out ash.

Questions before you commit

It depends on the route you choose. Under BOOT you pay nothing for the plant: Steamax funds the conversion or the new boiler or heater, and you pay only for the steam or heat you use. If you prefer to buy the conversion or the equipment outright, you pay a project cost and own it from day one.

Yes, if it is in sound mechanical condition. We inspect it first. A standby boiler is ideal, because it keeps production running during the changeover. If your equipment is too old to convert, we can build a new biomass boiler or heater instead.

Build, own, operate, transfer. Steamax builds the plant or funds the conversion, owns it, supplies the fuel, runs it and disposes of the ash for an agreed term, and bills you for the steam or heat it delivers. At the end of the term the equipment transfers to you.

Steam and heat are metered at your plant and billed per tonne or per unit at a tariff agreed in the contract. Because fuel is the largest part of the cost, the contract can adjust the tariff when fuel prices move past an agreed level, so neither side carries all of that risk.

Two things. We can take over the fuel supply and the operation, and you pay per tonne of steam while the boiler stays with you. Or we can buy the boiler from you, provide the capital for any expansion, and carry the equipment on our books while you buy steam from us.

Supply agreements typically run 10 to 15 years. At the end you can renew, agree a new term or part ways. Under BOOT the plant transfers to you in working condition.

Under a supply agreement, Steamax. We control the fuel, the combustion and the pollution control equipment, the things that decide what comes out of the stack, so we keep the plant within the limit as norms tighten.

That is agreed in writing at the start. Either you count the switch away from fossil fuel towards your own emission-reduction targets, or the credits under India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme are sold and the benefit shared. The same reduction cannot be counted twice.
