Thermax’s ESP services restore emissions efficiency for a sugar manufacturer

Project overview

A leading sugar manufacturer in Thailand needed to restore efficiency across multiple ageing ESP units with varying configurations and no standardisation.

Thermax carried out specialised maintenance and optimisation to improve performance across the systems. The solution enhanced operational efficiency, ensured consistent emission control, and strengthened customer confidence, leading to continued engagement.

Challenges

A leading sugar manufacturer in Thailand faced recurring efficiency issues with three ageing ESP units installed by different OEMs. The challenge lay in maintaining consistent performance across varied boiler setups (300 TPH and 200 TPH) without standardised components or documentation. Additionally, one ESP had 35 gas passages, adding to the complexity. The customer needed a skilled partner who could deliver precise, high-quality maintenance across non-standard systems.

Solution

Thermax realigned the collecting and discharge electrodes to a precise 180 mm gap, adjusted hammering systems, cleaned internals using air compressors, and repaired corroded casings and nozzles across four ESP units.

Result

The project was executed with precision, restoring ESP efficiency and earning customer satisfaction. Impressed by the performance, the client awarded Thermax a follow-up maintenance contract.
