With the global population on the rise, the demand for fuel is increasing at an alarming rate. As a result, industries face soaring fuel costs, prompting them to seek out more cost-effective and sustainable alternatives, such as biomass. Steamax has introduced a groundbreaking solution to this challenge: the OBR Retrofit Kit.

Steamax’s Innovative Solution for Fossil-Based Boilers

The OBR Retrofit Kit is design to provide a seamless transition from fossil fuels to biomass, offering an efficient and cost-effective alternative to installing an entirely new biomass-fired system.

Key Features of the OBR Kit:

• Quick Conversion: The OBR Kit can convert any existing diesel or gas-fired boiler to biomass within a few hours, allowing industries to rapidly adapt to a more sustainable energy source without needing a costly and time-consuming boiler replacement.
• Pollution Control: The OBR Kit is equipped with suitable pollution control equipment. This ensures that emissions remain within the limits set by state government regulations, allowing companies to stay compliant with environmental standards.
• Flexible Fuel Options: The OBR Kit allows industries to easily switch between biomass and traditional fossil fuels, allowing them to transition from oil to biomass and back within just six hours.

How Does the OBR Kit Work?

1. Boiler Modification: The process begins by removing the existing diesel or gas burner from the boiler, which is then replaced with the OBR Kit.
2. Automated Fuel Feeding: The OBR Kit includes an automatic fuel feeding system that ensures continuous and efficient combustion. The combustion occurs in an external furnace where primary air facilitates the process.
3. Efficient Air Supply: Secondary air’ pushes’ the flame inside the boiler, ensuring complete and efficient combustion.
4. Ash Management: Biomass combustion produces more ash than liquid and gaseous fuels. The OBR Kit has a built-in tube cleaning system and a pollution control device to manage ash and keep emissions within permissible limits.

Benefits of the OBR Retrofit Kit

• Significant Fuel Cost Reduction: Switching to biomass can reduce fuel costs by 30-60%, providing substantial industry savings.
• No Regulatory Hurdles: The OBR Kit does not require IBR approval, simplifying the transition process.
• Zero Carbon Emissions: The Kit ensures clean combustion, resulting in zero carbon emissions and contributing to a more sustainable environment.
• Automated Systems: The Kit features auto-fuel feeding and ash removal systems, reducing labour efforts and operational costs.
• No Pressure Part Additions: The installation of the OBR Kit does not require any changes to the boiler’s parts, avoiding complex regulatory approvals.
• Lifetime Service Support: Steamax offers lifetime support for the OBR Kit, ensuring optimal performance and long-term reliability.

Conclusion

OBR Kit is a game-changer for industries looking to reduce fuel costs and transition to more sustainable energy sources without the hassle of extensive modifications or regulatory challenges.
