E-boilers combine higher output with lower CO₂ emissions
How can you ramp up production while keeping CO₂ emissions down? Two e-boilers provide the perfect answer to this pharmaceutical company’s challenge, successfully balancing increased output with sustainable operations.
E-boilers for a new production line
Two 5 MW e-boilers now handle the site's entire steam supply. The initial configuration designates one unit as a backup for the other.
However, thanks to their generous sizing, both boilers can operate simultaneousl, making the setup ideal for future production expansions.
Electric power for maximum efficiency
With an electrical efficiency of 99.9%, the e-boilers prove their worth as a highly efficient, low-carbon heat solution. Since the water is heated directly by electricity, hardly any energy is lost.
Balanced energy across the site
The balance of plant includes a range of technologies to maintain a stable energy flow across the site. The boiler room was equipped with:
- a feedwater tank
- a condensate receiver
- a thermal deaerator
- a high-pressure steam collector
- the full piping network
The new installation also provides greater operational flexibility across the entire site.
