Overview
Converting an industrial boiler from coal to biomass is one of the most impactful steps a manufacturer can take toward decarbonization. This handbook walks you through the complete process — from initial feasibility assessment to full-scale fuel switch.
Step 1: Feasibility Assessment
Before any conversion begins, you need a thorough assessment of your existing boiler type, grate configuration, combustion air system, and fuel feeding mechanism. Most travelling grate and chain grate boilers can accept biomass pellets with minimal modifications.
Step 2: Fuel Selection
Choose the right pellet type based on your boiler's thermal requirements, local availability, and budget. Sawdust pellets offer the highest GCV consistency, while mixed agro-waste pellets provide cost optimization.
Step 3: Supply Chain & Logistics
Establish a reliable supply chain with bulk delivery schedules aligned to your consumption rate. Lakhdatar Green Energy offers custom packaging and delivery logistics designed for uninterrupted supply.
Step 4: Performance Monitoring
After conversion, monitor combustion efficiency, ash generation rates, and steam output to fine-tune the fuel-air ratio and maximize performance.
