Introduction
Rising fossil fuel prices and strict environmental regulations are pushing industries to look for cleaner, cost-effective energy alternatives. Converting diesel, LDO, or LPG-fired boilers to biomass pellets is emerging as a practical and profitable solution. At FABON Engineering, we specialize in turnkey biomass conversion solutions that help industries cut fuel costs and reduce carbon emissions—without replacing their existing boilers.
Why Convert to Biomass Pellet Fuel?
Here’s why industries across food processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and chemicals are switching:
- 💸 Up to 60% Fuel Cost Reduction: Biomass pellets are significantly cheaper than diesel or LPG.
- 🌱 Eco-Friendly Fuel: Pellets emit fewer greenhouse gases and are carbon-neutral.
- 🔧 Quick Payback: Most clients recover conversion investment in under 12 months.
- 📜 Compliance Ready: Supports environmental certifications and emission norms.
What is Boiler Conversion?
Boiler conversion involves modifying your existing oil or gas-fired boiler to burn biomass pellets as fuel. This includes installing a biomass pellet burner, fuel feeding system, storage hopper, and control unit.
FABON Engineering offers:
- ✅ Customized retrofitting for 200 kg/hr to 5 TPH boilers
- ✅ Pellet burners with high combustion efficiency (90%+)
- ✅ Automated feeding & ash removal systems
- ✅ Control panels with temperature & flame sensors
Technical Feasibility
Whether you’re running:
- 🛢️ Diesel-fired thermic fluid heaters
- 🧪 LDO-fired steam boilers
- 🔥 LPG-based hot water generators
We retrofit them with minimal changes to the main boiler body. FABON ensures:
- 🔄 Seamless integration
- 🛠️ Minimal downtime
- 🔥 Stable combustion with pellet fuel
- 🌡️ Precise temperature control
Who Can Benefit?
Industries using thermal energy for process heating, drying, steaming, or sterilizing can benefit immensely:
- Food & Beverage: Breweries, dairy, bakeries, snacks
- Pharma & Cosmetics: Sterilizers, reactors
- Textile & Garment: Dyeing, ironing, washing
- Paper & Packaging: Drying, corrugation
- Hotels & Hospitals: Hot water and steam boilers
