Project title: Reconstruction and conversion of a bund wall of heavy fuel oil tank 1000 m³ into a steam boiler room fired by biomass
Investor: Solana Pag d.d.
Location: Pag, Croatia
Construction completion: 2013
Project description
Reasons for investing:
- High production costs of salt per unit of mass and environmental protection reasons (energy expenses and pollution due to the existing heavy oil boiler room)
While comparing various alternatives of energy efficiency improvement, it was concluded that the installation of a biomass steam boiler would be the best solution. Years of monitoring economic indicators after the commissioning of the boiler room showed that the investment was justified. The plant was built in the area of a 1000 m³ bund wall of a heavy oil tank that was dismantled. A steam boiler fired with biomass was installed, with a capacity of 11 t/h of dry saturated steam at a pressure of 11 bar and a temperature of 184°C (8 MW). Type of installed steam boiler is the same as BKG, product of TPK OROMETAL Oroslavje. A daily tank of shredded biomass was built within the plant, from where the biomass is supplied to the boiler via a sliding floor and screw conveyors. The produced dry saturated steam is used by the plant for the production of salt from the sea solution.
