Thermax’s boiler and ESP solution enhances sustainability for a sugar industry

Project overview

A leading sugar manufacturer in Thailand planned to install high-capacity boilers while ensuring emissions remained well below stringent regulatory limits.

Thermax delivered an integrated solution combining boiler technology and advanced emission control systems to meet these requirements. The implementation ensured reliable performance, effective emission reduction, and strengthened the plant’s sustainability outcomes.

Challenges

A leading sugar manufacturer in Thailand aimed to cut particulate emissions to meet strict environmental norms. With plans to commission two 200 TPH travelling grate boilers, the company needed a robust air pollution control solution. The challenge lay in ensuring emissions remained well below Thailand’s stringent regulatory limits, necessitating a reliable partner with strong expertise in both boiler technology and emission control systems.

Solution

Thermax stepped in with a customised approach—its TBWES division provided the boilers, while the Air Pollution Control (APC) team installed two electrostatic precipitators (ESPs). This integrated solution helped keep emissions well below stipulated limits.

Result

The project, Thermax’s largest in Thailand, reinforced the customer’s sustainability efforts and showcased Thermax’s engineering excellence and environmental stewardship in high-capacity industrial applications.
