Zero by 2050 is coming closer with hybrid steam boilers

To achieve zero emissions by 2050 – step by step, with the first milestone of halving emissions by 2030 – we installed two hybrid steam boilers, each with a capacity of 15 T/h, for this sugar manufacturer. The project was realized through an intensive collaboration between Callens and Callens-Vyncke.

Technical Specifications

Capacity	2 x 15 T/h
Design pressure	13 barg
Fuel	bi-fuel + electricity
Balance of plant	high pressure 139 barg

Hybrid steam boilers with complete balance of plant

In this initial renewal phase, the two hybrid steam boilers replace the outdated cogeneration system, which relied on an inefficient steam boiler. Now, both electricity and gas can serve as energy sources for these powerhouses. The client selects the optimal option based on availability and prices.

Our project speed is driven by rigorous project management, thorough preparation and maximum use of prefabrication

We meticulously executed the balance of plant, including:

Condensate tanks: 2 x 130,000 liters
Hot water tank: 350,000 liters
Degassers: 1x 33 t/h and 1x 125 t/h
Impressive piping exceeding 1,000 meters

Beet harvest speeds up the launch

To make the most of the sugar beet harvest starting in September, we completed the installation by that time – in a record pace of just eleven months. Thanks to through rigorous project management, solid preparation, and as much prefabrication as possible, we made it happen. For instance, we prepared over 1,000 meters of pipes in our own workshop.
