Installation of boiler, preheater and burner in a paper mill

With the installation of a boiler, preheater and burner at a paper mill in Almería, Soluciones Integrales de Combustión has completed the project to update and improve the thermal performance of the factory.

Among the work undertaken, in addition to the installation of the boiler and burner, the company designed and implemented a hot air preheating system and a pressurization system. The purpose of the pressurization system is to recover heat from the plant’s condensate, thereby increasing thermal efficiency by utilizing this waste energy.

Pressurization systems are technologies that manage the pressure of air or fluids in thermal systems to improve energy efficiency, control flue gases, and optimize heat production. Examples include pressurized condensate tanks that recover energy in boiler rooms, air systems for burners, and even the pressurization of chambers in launching vehicles to ensure the flow of fuel and oxidizer, thus achieving sustainability and performance.

For its part, the hot air preheater systems designed by Soluciones Integrales de Combustión allow for the transfer of heat from the outgoing combustion gases to the fresh air entering the burner or combustion chamber, thus optimizing thermal efficiency.

Among the features of the SICAPH preheaters developed by the engineering firm are their ability to reduce pollutant emissions and lower the chimney outlet temperature. They play a significant role in fuel savings and are easy to maintain. This type of equipment is designed to operate with any type of conventional or sustainable fuel.
