Design, project and construction management of a steam generating plant from tropical biomass. The project is installed in a large paper mill and will supply much of the process steam the factory needs. In addition, a sludge drying plant is incorporated. The sludge comes from the industrial water treatment plants. These sludges are dried using the exhaust gas from the boiler. This configuration constitutes an investment of great profitability for the industry, adding to the own saving of the biomass in substitution of fossil fuels for the generation of steam, the saving in the management of the residual sludge of its process.

Main parameters:

Fluid type: saturated steam
Pressure: 19 bar (g)
Fuel: African palm wastes mixed with wood chips and paper sludge
Drying capacity: 6.67 t / h (60% M.S. to 85% M.S.) of sludge, evaporating 1.96 t / h of water
Industry Sector: Paper
Location: San Salvador (El Salvador)
Year of construction: 2015
