How to Select a 10 Ton Biomass Steam Boiler at 16 Bar for Palm Kernel Shell?

A 10 ton biomass steam boiler operating at 16 bar can provide process steam for palm oil processing, food production, textile manufacturing, chemical processing and other industrial applications. When palm kernel shell is used as fuel, boiler selection should not be based only on capacity and pressure. Fuel moisture, particle size, ash content, calorific value and supply stability also affect the combustion system.

For this project, the required working pressure of 16 bar corresponds to 1.6 MPa. ZOZEN Boiler can evaluate DZL or SZL biomass-fired configurations for the 10 ton biomass steam boiler. The final boiler structure, grate type, feeding system and flue gas treatment arrangement should be determined after reviewing the palm kernel shell analysis and local emission requirements.

Palm kernel shell has different combustion characteristics from standard biomass pellets. A suitable 10 ton biomass steam boiler requires a coordinated fuel feeding and air distribution system. Stable fuel feeding helps reduce fluctuations in furnace temperature, while staged air distribution supports more complete combustion. The furnace dimensions and heating surfaces also need to match the actual fuel characteristics.

The boiler system can include the 10 ton biomass steam boiler body, fuel feeding equipment, fan system, economizer, dust collection equipment, water treatment system, pumps, control cabinet and other auxiliaries. The scope can be adjusted according to the customer’s existing boiler room and project responsibilities.

ZOZEN’s biomass boiler range covers capacities and pressures suitable for this enquiry. A 10 t/h unit with a working pressure of 1.6 MPa falls within the available parameters of relevant biomass boiler series. However, the selection of a 10 ton biomass steam boiler should still be based on the required steam temperature, operating hours, load variation and feedwater conditions.

ZOZEN Boiler has over 30 years of industrial boiler manufacturing experience. Its production base covers 150,000 square metres and has an annual production capacity of 2,000 industrial boilers. The company manufactures key boiler components with dedicated production lines and provides equipment design, manufacturing, delivery guidance and technical service for overseas projects.

To prepare a proposal for a 10 ton biomass steam boiler, customers can provide the palm kernel shell analysis, required steam pressure, feedwater temperature, operating hours, emission limits and project location. This information allows ZOZEN to configure the 10 ton biomass steam boiler according to actual operating conditions rather than using a general-purpose configuration.
