Efficient and Sustainable Energy with Biogas Boilers: ZOZEN SZS Series

With the global shift toward renewable energy and sustainable industrial practices, biogas boilers have emerged as a key solution for energy generation. Biogas, a clean and renewable fuel produced from agricultural waste, food processing residues, or organic by-products, provides a stable and environmentally responsible energy source. Biogas boilers make it possible to transform this renewable fuel into reliable heat and steam for industrial applications.

In practice, biogas boilers are widely used in industries such as food processing, chemical production, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and large-scale agricultural operations. They provide thermal energy for sterilization, concentration, drying, and heating processes that are essential to product quality and efficiency. At the same time, they reduce reliance on fossil fuels and help enterprises meet tightening environmental standards by lowering carbon emissions.

China’s industrial sectors have increasingly embraced biogas boilers as part of the push for energy efficiency and green transformation. Among the companies leading this trend, ZOZEN Boiler has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable, high-efficiency boiler solutions that meet the diverse needs of industrial customers worldwide.

Technical Strength of ZOZEN SZS Fuel and Gas-Fired Boiler

Within ZOZEN’s product line, the SZS series fuel and gas-fired boiler represents a highly advanced solution capable of utilizing different gaseous fuels, including natural gas, refinery gas, and biogas. This flexibility makes it particularly suitable for enterprises that generate renewable fuels as by-products of their own production processes.

The SZS boiler adopts a double-drum, D-type water tube design, ensuring a large heating surface and excellent heat transfer efficiency. The furnace is fully enclosed with membrane water-cooled walls, which enhances sealing, minimizes heat loss, and extends the operational life of the equipment. The furnace chamber is spacious, allowing complete fuel combustion and stable flame development, which contributes to higher thermal efficiency. In optimized configurations, the efficiency of the biogas boilers in this series can exceed 98%.

The boiler’s convection heating surface is formed by finned tubes arranged in a bundle, which not only improves heat absorption but also reduces resistance to flue gas flow. This design balances high output with low energy consumption. Moreover, advanced low-NOx burners are integrated into the system, ensuring that harmful nitrogen oxide emissions remain below stringent regulatory thresholds, thereby meeting modern requirements for environmentally friendly operation.

Another important feature of the SZS biogas boiler is the inclusion of large upper steam drums and advanced steam-water separation devices. These components reduce the risk of water carryover in steam, ensuring higher steam quality. This is especially critical for industries where the reliability and purity of steam directly affect the final product, such as in food processing and pharmaceuticals.

Automation and intelligent control systems are also central to the SZS design. Real-time monitoring of water level, steam pressure, and temperature ensures safe and stable operation, while interlocking protection mechanisms prevent risks associated with overpressure, water shortage, or abnormal combustion. The system is user-friendly and adaptable, making it convenient for enterprises with continuous production demands.

By combining structural reliability, fuel flexibility, high efficiency, and environmental compliance, ZOZEN’s SZS series delivers significant value to customers seeking dependable biogas boilers for industrial applications.

Biogas Boiler Application in Soy Protein Production

A large food enterprise specializing in non-GMO soybean protein and related products recently faced the challenge of balancing production efficiency with environmental responsibility. The company’s product portfolio includes non-GMO soybean oil, soybean meal, soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate, dietary fiber, and protein powders. In the production of soy protein isolate, several processes such as sterilization, concentration, flash drying, and dehydration require large amounts of high-temperature, high-quality superheated steam. The quality of steam directly influences the functional properties and overall quality of the protein products.

To address these needs, the company turned to ZOZEN Boiler for a tailored energy solution. ZOZEN recommended and supplied multiple units of the SZS series biogas boilers, which were specifically configured to utilize the renewable biogas generated as a by-product of soybean protein production. By turning production waste into usable energy, the company was able to reduce fuel costs significantly while advancing its environmental goals.

The delivered boiler system featured a D-type layout with full-membrane water-cooled walls, effectively increasing the radiation heating surface and ensuring excellent sealing performance. With this design, the biogas boilers achieved efficiency levels above 98%, providing stable and reliable steam output. Additionally, the boilers were equipped with rationally sized upper steam drums and efficient steam-water separators to guarantee dry and high-quality steam for the protein processing line.

The successful integration of ZOZEN’s SZS biogas boilers enabled the enterprise to achieve three goals simultaneously: maintaining product quality, lowering operational costs, and reducing environmental impact. The project highlighted how renewable fuel utilization can be seamlessly combined with advanced boiler technology to create sustainable energy solutions for food processing industries.
