Syngas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler

Do your production processes generate synthesis gases? Know that you don’t necessarily have to flare or discharge them. Syngas can also be used to produce hot water for industrial processes and building heating.

With a syngas-fired hot water or industrial central heating boiler, you valorize this residual stream. The result? You lower your consumption of primary fuels, increase the energy efficiency of your site and get more value out of existing process streams.

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

Discuss the possibilities

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

Syngas is produced in various industrial processes, such as gasification, waste processing and certain chemical applications. Its composition varies from process to process, but it usually contains combustible components such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane.

Companies with access to such energy streams can use syngas directly to produce heat up to 200 °C. This turns a residual stream into a full-fledged energy source for process or building heating.

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

  • You have a syngas stream within your production process.
  • You want to make the most of the energy value of process gases.
  • You want to reduce the consumption of natural gas or other primary fuels.
  • You need heat at low to medium temperatures.
  • You want to increase the energy efficiency of your site.

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

Many factors determine the design of the most suitable installation. First and foremost, the properties of the available syngas. In addition, the calorific value, pressure and temperature all help determine the choice of burner, the control technology and the complete installation configuration.

Our engineers map out all these factors and design a solution that valorizes the available energy to the maximum, while ensuring a reliable and stable heat supply.

BENEFITS

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

By using syngas as a fuel, a residual stream is turned into a valuable energy source. That delivers benefits for both your company’s energy consumption and its sustainability.

Fewer primary fuels

The consumption of natural gas or other external energy sources can be reduced considerably.

Higher energy efficiency

Putting syngas to good use raises the overall energy efficiency of the site.

Maximum valorization of process gases

Syngas is used directly to produce usable heat.

Lower emissions

Making the most of available energy streams means less energy is lost and less additional fuel is needed.

Suitable for process and building heating

The hot water produced can be used for a wide range of industrial applications and heating systems.

Future-proof energy supply

Companies make optimal use of their own energy streams and prepare for more efficient and sustainable energy management.

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

The first step is a thorough analysis of the available syngas stream and your company’s heat demand. Next, we examine how the installation can best be connected to existing heat consumers, piping and energy supplies.

Depending on the specific situation, the boiler can run entirely on syngas or be combined with a second fuel to further increase operational reliability.

The Callens Group specialists advise you on the configuration that best fits your production process and energy objectives.

FAQ

Questions? We have the answers.

This technology is especially worthwhile for companies that produce syngas within their processes and want to valorize this energy stream to the maximum. Examples that spring to mind are the chemical industry, waste processing, gasification plants and certain energy production processes.

That will depend on the quantity, composition and availability of the syngas. In some applications, syngas is sufficient as the sole fuel, while in others a combination with a second fuel is preferable.

As an EPCS integrator, the Callens Group takes care of the entire process: from on-site analysis and engineering to installation and service. Find out more about the different steps in our workflow here.

The calorific value and composition of syngas can vary widely from project to project. That is why every system is specifically tailored to the properties of the available gas. This guarantees stable combustion, high efficiency and safe operation.
