Steam boiler on sunflower husks. 2020 р.

A steam boiler house on sunflower husks at a dairy plant in Donetsk Oblast. Capacity - 1500 kg of steam per hour. The fuel is sunflower husk.

We completed the boiler house reconstruction project, which provided for the conversion of the boiler house from gas to sunflower husk. We dismantled the gas boiler E1/9 and installed an industrial boiler in its place. industrial boiler E-1,8-0,9P with a remote firebox ТВ for burning fuel in a quasi-boiling layer. The design for installing the boiler is two-level. The remote firebox is located under the boiler. The boiler was installed on a metal frame on the second level. The fuel bunker with a volume of 20 cubic meters was installed outside the boiler house. The fuel is loaded into the bunker by a pneumatic feeding system from the filling pit. The pit is located inside a lightweight structure, which is sheathed with corrugated sheet metal. This design protects against wind and precipitation. The fuel (sunflower husk) is delivered to the feeding pit from a local warehouse by truck. The fuel is fed directly into the furnace from the bunker by a screw. Of course, all fuel supply processes are fully automated.

The conversion of the gas boiler house to solid fuel (in this case, sunflower husk) took approximately five months. This included the development of project documentation, dismantling of the old gas boiler and installation of new equipment in the boiler room.

Steam boiler on sunflower husk - installation features:

• The installation was carried out in a working boiler room. It was important to fit into the allocated space and not interfere with the operation of the enterprise
• The design envisages the use of existing chimneys
• Chemically treated water is supplied from a new tank. This necessitated the installation of a separate water supply line
• Level sensors were installed in the bunker to control the amount of fuel. This helps to optimize the logistics of fuel delivery.
