Thermax designs boiler to convert waste to energy
Thermax Ltd, the energy and environment solutions major, has designed a boiler that will burn distillery waste and spent wash into usable energy — steam and power. The boiler was commissioned at a leading distillery in Karnataka in June and has started operations in July end.
"The alcohol business is highly competitive in India and overseas. This technology will enable Thermax to improve the competitive edge of its clients by improving productivity and reducing production costs.
This will also mitigate pollution, which is a major issue with distilleries," he said.
By generating steam from spent wash, molasses-based distilleries can significantly reduce their energy costs.
Every kilogram of concentrated spent wash replaces nearly 0.33 kg of Indian coal. Thermax has won three more orders from leading distilleries of the country, he added.
