Spent Wash Fired Boilers
An effective spent wash incineration solution helping distilleries meet steam, captive power, and economical ZLD (zero liquid discharge) compliance
Submit your enquiryTBWES spent wash-fired boilers convert distillery spent wash into valuable energy, reducing waste and operating costs effectively.
Engineered to handle varying spent wash concentrations, ensuring reliable and sustainable operations for both large-scale operations and micro distilleries (under 30 KLPD). Their robust, efficient three-pass design maximises thermal performance, making them an ideal solution to meet zero liquid discharge (ZLD) norms. Beyond environmental compliance, these boilers offer significant commercial value; the potash-rich fly ash generated provides an additional revenue stream.
