Biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler

Do you produce biogas yourself? Or do you have access to a nearby biogas network? Then it can be used, not only to generate electricity, but also to produce hot water for industrial processes and building heating.

With a biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler, you directly convert locally produced renewable energy into usable heat, which will lower your dependence on fossil fuels and allow you to capitalize on your existing energy streams.

The Callens Group designs, builds and integrates installations that make optimal use of available biogas streams and match your heat demand perfectly.

Discuss the possibilities

When is a biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler worthwhile?

Biogas is produced, among other things, during digestion, water treatment, waste processing and various biological production processes. Companies with these activities on site can directly convert the resulting biogas into heat.

A biogas-fired installation combines the benefits of a conventional gas-fired boiler with the ability to use a renewable fuel. That makes it an attractive solution for companies that want to make their heat supply more sustainable without compromising on operational reliability.

Reasons to consider a biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler:

You have your own biogas production or access to locally produced biogas.
You want to be less dependent on fossil fuels.
You want to make the most of the energy value of biogas.
You are looking for a sustainable solution for process or building heating.
You want to lower the CO2 emissions of your heat production.

Output	up to 20 MW
Process temperature	up to 200°C
Operating pressure	0.5 to 30 barg
Efficiency	95%

Technical specifications of biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boilers

Many factors determine the configuration of a biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler. Think of the required output, the desired temperature, the properties and quality of the available biogas, operating hours and heat demand.

Our engineers analyze every relevant parameter and design an installation that makes optimal use of the available energy.

BENEFITS

Advantages of a biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler

Producing heat or hot water with a renewable energy source like biogas opens up plenty of benefits, both environmental and economic.

Fewer fossil fuels

The consumption of natural gas or other primary fuels is reduced considerably.

Lower CO₂ emissions

Using renewable biogas helps reduce the climate impact of your heat production.

High operational reliability

The technology builds on the proven reliability of gas-fired installations.

Greater energy independence

Companies become less dependent on external energy suppliers and fluctuating natural gas prices.

Broadly applicable

Suitable for both process heating and building heating across a wide range of sectors.

Maximum valorization of biogas

Locally produced biogas is used directly for useful heat production.

How do you integrate a biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler into your existing infrastructure?

In most cases, a biogas-fired installation can easily be integrated into an existing heat supply. Account is taken of the available biogas stream, the existing heat consumers and the required operational reliability.

Depending on the situation, the installation can run entirely on biogas or be combined with a second fuel.

The Callens Group specialists analyze your infrastructure and advise you on the configuration that is most suitable for your company.

FAQ

Questions? We have the answers.

That will depend on the burner, the composition of the biogas and the technical configuration of the installation. In some cases, minor adjustments are enough, while in others a more thorough conversion is needed. The Callens Group specialists are happy to explore the possibilities.

Yes. Biogas can be used for a wide range of heat demands, from industrial processes to heating production halls, warehouses and utility buildings.

That will depend on the composition of the biogas. In many cases, unwanted components such as water vapor, sulfur compounds or other contaminants are removed beforehand to ensure stable combustion and a long service life for the installation. The required treatment is determined based on an analysis of the available biogas stream.

As an EPCS integrator, Callens Group takes care of the entire process: from on-site analysis and engineering to installation and service. That gives you a single point of contact throughout the full service life of your biogas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler.
