Soluciones Integrales de Combustión is finalizing the installation of a biomass boiler in the food industry, with a capacity to produce 3,500 kg. steam. In the works, currently in the execution phase, the hoisting of the chimney is undertaken, which flies almost 10 meters over the roof of the plant, after the previous tasks carried out on the boiler installation and the rest of the combustion equipment of which has.

The factory is part of the nougat manufacturing industry, a traditional dessert consumed especially during the Christmas festivities, and highly appreciated in gastronomy for its delicate flavor and healthy energy contribution. The nougat is made mainly with almonds produced in the province of Alicante, precisely the largest producing region of nougat. For this reason, the availability of almond shells is an ideal alternative to replace fossil fuels in industrial processes focused on reducing their environmental footprint with local biofuels.

Installation of a biomass boiler in the food industry

Soluciones Integrales de Combustión, as a thermal and combustion solutions engineering company, is carrying out the complete installation of the biomass boiler in this food facility. The biomass boiler installed by the company has a steam production capacity of 3,500 kg, and will use renewable fuels for its operation, such as almond shells, widely produced in this geographical area.

In addition, with the aim of avoiding the emission of solid particles into the atmosphere and adapting its operation to compliance with emissions regulations, the line installed by Soluciones Integrales de Combustión will have a bag filter, a piece of equipment implemented in industrial facilities for the treatment of grains, ceramics, cement or chemicals, etc. that makes possible the separation of solid particles in suspension. In this way, the bag filter will be in charge of collecting the particles that are produced in the process.

The installation of the biomass boiler will also have a multicyclone, equipment designed to control emissions and particles, allowing their recovery and aspiration of particles. This device will reduce the frequency of maintenance tasks and increase its useful life.

On the other hand, the biomass boiler is equipped with an automatic cleaning system, which will allow the operation time to be extended without requiring frequent maintenance tasks to clean the installation.
