Modernisation

A fresh approach to your existing boiler system: greater reliability, lower consumption

As an operator of an industrial boiler plant, you face a wide range of challenges today. Rising energy costs, stricter environmental regulations, and the need for maximum operational reliability require modern, scalable solutions. We get your existing system ready for the future – without the need to invest in a completely new system.

Your benefits at a glance

Unlock efficiency potential – save up to 25% on fuel and CO₂ emissions

Significantly increasing plant availability: Reliability for your production

Ensuring compliance with legal requirements

Boiler output precisely matched to demand

Greater independence from fossil fuels

Unlock your plant's potential: Identify opportunities for efficiency and achieve targeted cost reductions

Quick check for operators

  • Are you making full use of all available efficiency opportunities?
  • Are you minimising costs and fuel dependency using modern multi-fuel firing systems?

Our solution

Retrofitting modular efficiency components, optimising boiler and pipe insulation, and implementing modern burner technology.

Your benefit

You reduce your fuel costs by up to 25 %, immediately improve your carbon footprint, and secure a quick return on investment – in many cases in under two years.

Savings Potential

Component / Measure Potential saving
High-pressure condensate system up to 12 % fuel
Flue gas heat exchanger up to 7 % fuel
Condensing heat exchanger up to 7 % fuel
TDS control and low salt operation up to 3.4 % fuel
Air preheating system up to 2.5 % fuel
Heat recovery module desalting/condensate up to 2 % fuel
Feed water cooling module up to 1.8 % fuel
Vapour cooler (deaerator heat) up to 0.5 % fuel
O2 and/or CO controls up to 0.5 % fuel
Speed control (combustion air fan) up to 75 % electricity

Note: The actual savings potential depends on the specific plant and its operating conditions. Many of these measures can be combined.

Significantly increase plant availability: Reliable operation and protection against unplanned downtime

Quick check for operators

  • Are all key spare parts still readily available?
  • Is the plant operated in a transparent and highly automated manner?

Our solution

Upgrading to the latest control technology, renewing sensor systems, integrating remote solutions, connecting to automation systems, and optimising water treatment components.

Your benefit

You minimise the risk of downtime, specifically reduce the workload on operational staff, and benefit from intelligent automation and data transparency.

Ensuring compliance: Reliably meet all legal requirements

Quick check for operators

  • Does your plant comply with the latest statutory emissions requirements?
  • Are all safety requirements and replacement intervals met on time?

Our solution

Burner retrofitting for NOx reduction, performing safety-related upgrades, and replacing components in accordance with EN 12953.

Your benefit

You safeguard the plant's operating licence, minimise liability risks in the event of an accident, and reliably prevent regulatory fines.

Boiler output tailored to your needs: Precisely adapted to your processes

Quick check for operators

  • Is sufficient steam or heat output available during peak demand periods?
  • Does the plant cycle, causing energy inefficiency and high wear and tear?

Our solution

Adapting the burner and boiler output, using a modulating burner control, integrating a modern heat maintenance system, and retrofitting an intelligent sequence control for multi-boiler systems.

Your benefit

You optimise fuel consumption, prevent unnecessary material wear, and extend the service life of your boiler plant.

Positioned for the future: Becoming less dependent on fossil fuels

Quick check for operators

  • Can you reduce your dependency on fossil fuels?
  • Do you have a clear roadmap for reducing the carbon costs associated with your production?

Our solution

Switching to CO2-neutral fuels such as biogas, bio-oil or green hydrogen (H₂ ready). Power-to-heat solutions through the integration of electric heating elements.

Your benefit

You reduce your CO2 footprint, protect your business from volatile energy prices, and strengthen your position in sustainable supply chains.
