Biogas-fired thermal oil boiler

Biogas-fired thermal oil boilers combine reliable process heat with a lower dependence on fossil fuels. By using biogas as an energy source, companies can valorize locally available renewable energy while reducing their CO2 emissions at the same time.

The Callens Group designs, builds and integrates thermal oil systems that make optimal use of available biogas streams. To do so, our specialists take account of the biogas’s properties, the required process temperatures and integration within your existing energy infrastructure.

When is a biogas-fired thermal oil boiler the right choice?

Companies that have their own biogas stream or access to locally produced biogas can use this renewable energy to generate process heat directly.

A biogas-fired thermal oil boiler offers the same benefits as a conventional gas-fired installation: high process temperatures, stable heat transfer and high operational reliability. At the same time, it helps make industrial heat processes more sustainable.

Reasons to consider a biogas-fired thermal oil boiler:

  • You are looking for a sustainable process heat solution.
  • You want to reduce your dependence on natural gas.
  • You want to further reduce your CO2 emissions.
  • You have processes that require temperatures of up to approximately 300 °C.
  • You have your own biogas production or a local biogas supply.

Technical specifications of biogas-fired thermal oil boilers

The required thermal output, the desired process temperature and the properties of the available biogas all help determine which installation is most suitable for your operation.

Factors such as the composition of the biogas, operating hours, heat demand and any future expansions also play an important role.

Our engineers analyze these parameters and design an installation that is tailored to your production process.

BENEFITS

biogas-fired thermal oil boiler

Biogas gives companies the opportunity to produce heat from a renewable energy source. This technology combines the reliability of a conventional thermal oil boiler with the benefits of a more sustainable energy supply.

Fewer fossil fuels

Biogas fully or partially replaces natural gas in heat production.

Lower CO₂ emissions

Because biogas comes from biomass or organic residual streams, its climate impact is considerably lower than that of fossil fuels.

High process temperatures

Temperatures of up to approximately 300 °C can be reached without high system pressure.

Greater energy independence

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

operational reliability

The technology builds on the proven reliability of gas-fired thermal oil boilers.

applicable

Biogas-fired thermal oil boilers are suitable for a wide range of sectors and applications, such as the paper and cardboard industry, water treatment and waste processing.

How do you integrate a biogas-fired thermal oil boiler into your existing infrastructure?

In many cases, a biogas-fired thermal oil boiler can be integrated into an existing heat supply. This involves looking at the available biogas stream, the existing thermal oil consumers and the desired operational reliability.

Depending on the situation, the installation can run entirely on biogas or set up to run on multiple fuels.

The Callens Group specialists analyze both your thermal oil circuit and your biogas installation and develop a configuration that delivers optimal performance.

FAQ

Questions? We have the answers.

That will depend on the existing burner, the composition of the biogas and the technical configuration of the installation. In some set-ups, adapting the burner or gas train will suffice. In other cases, additional technical modifications will be required.

The Callens Group specialists will be happy to explore the possibilities with you.

Biogas-fired thermal oil boilers are especially interesting for companies that produce their own biogas or have access to it locally. Think of waste processors, food companies, water treatment plants, agricultural businesses and industrial production sites with digestion installations. By using the locally available biogas to generate process heat, its energy value can be fully exploited.

The Callens Group experts will be delighted to look into it with you.
