Challenges 

  • Thermax’s Steam-aaS enables an F&B major to decarbonise operations with reliable steam delivery
Solution

Solution 

  • A global FMCG manufacturer operates a process-critical, batch-sensitive food production facility in western India, where hygiene, quality, and uptime are non-negotiable. Production continuity depends heavily on stable and consistent steam for core processes. Historically, the site relied on oil- and gas-fired boilers to eliminate any risk of steam pressure fluctuations that could compromise batch integrity. As part of its long-term net-zero roadmap, the organisation sought to transition its energy systems without introducing fuel-security risks, steam instability, or operational disruption.
Result

Result 

  • Zero tolerance for steam pressure variability impacting batch quality
  • Requirement for biomass to perform predictably as the primary fuel
  • Risk of fuel stockouts or seasonal performance swings
  • Need to ensure hygiene, dust control, and compliant waste handling
  • Continuity required across operating seasons and multiple years
