What Fuel Is Better For Steam Boiler

Steam boiler is vital for industries, which is used to supply adequate steam for production process. Faced with the increasing energy price, every industry must take actions to save fuel cost and get more profit. Coal. Biomass fuel, gas, oil are all available for steam boiler. Let’s talk about which fuel is better according the different steam boilers.

Coal fired steam boiler

This boiler can burn many kinds’ of coal, such as lean coal, lignite, bituminous coal and others. As the main energy resource in the world, coal has a higher thermal value than biomass fuel, but it is more polluted for environment. Coal can generate more heat than wood of the same quantity. If the coal in steam boiler can not be burnt fully, some energy will be wasted. At the same time, the flue gas will takes away a lot of heat.The coal fired steam boilers produced by ZG BOILER are  in the leading level of boiler market. The coal fired boilers includes chain grate boiler, circulating fluidized bed boiler, and the capacity is up to 750 t/h, which can meet the needs of various industries with advantages such as high efficiency, energy conservation, environmental protection, strong overload ability, wide coal adaptability, reliable performance, etc. So for larger industry that need high temperature, high pressure steam, coal boiler is a better choice.


Biomass fuel steam boiler

With the increasing price of fuel, biomass fuel, such as wood pellet, bagasse, rice husk, cotton husk, palm shell are available for many industrial boilers, which can save a lot for industries. Industrial biomass fuel boilers are more and more popular in recent years with cleaner and cheaper fuel. But the biomass fuel has a lower thermal value, so that large quantity of fuel is needed to heat the designed water. The ash could be reused and biomass fuel boiler is environmental friendly. So for some smaller industries or those who has many biomass fuel, biomass boiler is a better choice. The popular biomass steam boiler is traveling grate type.

Gas oil fired steam boiler

Gas and oil are clean energy, but they are a little expensive. These fuels have a higher thermal value, which can heat the same water with shorter time. But gas oil boilers are easy to operate and with packaged type, they are convenient for us to transport and install.

So choosing the fuel for boiler is related to many aspects. Fuel cost, boiler capacity, heat efficiency, installation place, environmental permit range, fuel storage and some other aspect should be taken into account when choosing a suitable industrial boiler.
