Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of Bagasse?
Sugarcane bagasse generally has a GCV of 2200 to 2400 Kcal/Kg at 50% moisture. Our boilers are engineered to extract maximum heat even from high-moisture agricultural waste.
Can this boiler run on other fuels during the sugar off-season?
Yes, our 3 Ton Bagasse series features a Multi-Fuel furnace. You can easily switch to wood logs, coal, or biomass briquettes when bagasse is unavailable.
How much can I save by using Bagasse instead of Diesel?
Since Bagasse is often a free or low-cost byproduct, industries can reduce their steam generation costs by up to 70% compared to using imported or liquid fossil fuels.
Is Bagasse firing considered carbon-neutral?
Yes. Burning bagasse releases only the carbon that the sugarcane absorbed during its growth, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly energy source for modern industries.
What is the thermal efficiency of this 3 TPH model?
Our Bagasse-fired boilers achieve an efficiency of approx. 72% to 76%. This can be boosted to 82%+ by integrating our specialized Air Pre-Heaters (APH) or Economizers.
How does the boiler handle the high moisture in Bagasse?
The STEAMAX SM-30 series is designed with a Large Combustion Furnace volume and a dual-air system to ensure complete drying and combustion of the fibrous fuel.
What is the standard working pressure?
The standard design is 10.54 Kg/cm², but we offer high-pressure variants for power generation or specific process needs up to 21 Kg/cm².
What is a "3-Pass Smoke Tube" design?
It ensures that the hot combustion gases travel through the water-submerged tubes three times, maximizing heat transfer before reaching the chimney.
Does it require an ID/FD Fan?
Yes. Because bagasse is light and fibrous, we use a Forced Draft (FD) fan for combustion air and an Induced Draft (ID) fan to maintain proper furnace suction and ash removal.
How is the bagasse fed into the boiler?
Standard units are manually fired through large doors. However, for a 3 Ton capacity, we highly recommend our automated pneumatic or screw-feeding system for consistent pressure.
What kind of grate system is used?
We use specialized Fixed Grates or Dumping Grates made from high-grade cast iron to handle the silica and ash content typical of sugarcane waste.
Is this boiler IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations) certified?
Yes, all our 3 Ton units are fully IBR compliant, manufactured using IBR-approved SA 515/516 Gr. 70 boiler-quality plates for maximum safety.
How long does it take to reach full pressure from a cold start?
Due to the large furnace and water volume, a cold start typically takes 60 to 90 minutes to reach optimum working pressure.
What safety interlocks are included?
The boiler features dual safety valves, a fusible plug (to prevent overheating), a low-water alarm, and an automatic cut-off for the draft fans.
How much ash is produced by a bagasse boiler?
Bagasse has a very low ash content (usually 1% to 2%). This makes ash management much easier than coal-fired systems.
How do I clean the smoke tubes?
Our design includes hinged smoke chamber doors at the front and back, allowing easy access for your team to clean soot and maintain peak efficiency.
Does it require a pollution control system?
Yes. To meet GPCB/Pollution Board norms, we provide a Multi-Cyclone Dust Collector (MDC) to trap fine particulate matter before it exits the chimney.
What is the recommended chimney height?
For a 3 Ton biomass boiler, a 30-meter chimney is usually required by law to ensure proper dispersion of emissions.
Does Indian Boilers provide turnkey installation in Ahmedabad?
Yes. From initial design and foundation layout to IBR certification and final commissioning, our Ahmedabad-based team manages the entire project lifecycle.
