Lose So Much Money If Choose The Boiler Incorrectly?

December 17, 2019

The industrial boiler can be said to be one of the necessary core equipment for any production enterprise. If the enterprise chooses the boiler incorrectly, it will cause huge losses. Today, let's look at a case.

Fashion Park is a textile mill in Bangladesh. In 2016, Fashion Park built a new factory to expand its production scale. At this time, of course, new production processes need to be equipped with a new steam boiler. Previously, there was an old 10ton/h gas fired steam boiler in their old factory, which had been in use for so many years. Therefore, in the process of purchasing boilers, they didn’t have a systematic calculation, and subconsciously thought it would be enough to buy another 10ton/h gas fired boiler.

After comparing several boiler suppliers, because the owner of Fashion Park paid more attention to price, they eventually chose a low-cost boiler supplier in India, although the supplier is not very well known. More than two months later, the boilers arrived at their factory and were ready to be installed and put into operation. At this time, they found that the boiler manufacturer didn’t provide them with the documents required for boilers to be filed in government departments, such as quality certificates, inspection certificates, and other information documents. So they rushed to contact the boiler supplier, but they didn’t get any effective response. Eventually, the director of their factory spent a lot of money to solve the problem of boiler filing.

After the boiler is put into use, new problems arise again. Because they found that the boiler capacity they chose was too large, and the daily gas consumption was several times higher than before. Because of these problems, they specially consulted EPCB local technicians in Bangladesh and finally concluded that the original 10ton/h boiler in the old factory was a two-hand boiler bought from the local area many years ago. Its thermal efficiency was low and its output was seriously inadequate (can’t reach to 10ton/h at all), and it could only produce about 6 ton/h steam. So when they buy a 10 ton/h boiler, excess steam will inevitably be wasted when burning. At the same time, their boiler was not equipped with corresponding energy-saving devices. It was only equipped with a few simple auxiliary equipments provided by the boiler supplier, so the cost of fuel naturally rises a lot. “At that time, we spent nearly 1.5 times costs every day than before.” The Engineer of Fashion Park told us.

In the latter half of 2016, Fashion Park faced the risk of stopping production. Why? Because the supply of natural gas in their factory is insufficient. In fact, there is a shortage of natural gas supply in many parts of Bangladesh at the end of 2016, and many factories that operate gas-fired boilers are at risk of being stopped production. In this state, the director of Fashion Park couldn’t help talking to us: “If we had known that, we would have bought a coal-fired or biomass-fired boiler at the beginning!”
By the end of 2016, by the end of 2016, after the calculation of the Fashion Park finance staff, through a year of boiler operation, there was about $140,000 loss in waste and a $370,000 loss in production. At the end of 2016, Fashion Park shared his experience with us and purchased a 6ton/h fixed grate wood fired steam boiler from EPCB Boiler, which has been running well.
