Oil Fired Steam Boiler in Kenya

Oil-fired boilers use the heat generated by the fuel and convert it into thermal energy in the form of steam. Steam from oil-fired boilers is used in various types of industrial production to provide a stable source of heat for production processes, such as heating air for drying, cleaning equipment, and providing heat for textile, sugar and chemical plants, usually using saturated steam.

ZOZEN has supplied the WNS oil-fired fire tube steam boiler to Kenya Pipeline Company, which is now in operation after commissioning. To meet the demand of Kenya Pipeline Company for using heavy oil as fuel, ZOZEN Boiler has customized the boiler technology solution for Kenya Pipeline Company. The boiler body adopts WNS series three-return wet back, so that the high temperature oil and smoke gas can stay in the furnace for a longer time. In addition, combined with the large diameter full waveform furnace bore inside, the thermal efficiency can reach more than 98%. Meanwhile, it is equipped with specially designed heavy oil combustion device to improve the combustion performance of heavy oil.

Heavy oil is the remaining heavy oil after the extraction of gasoline and diesel from crude oil and is characterized by high molecular weight and high viscosity. In this case, ZOZEN Boiler installed a filtration system and a heating unit for Kenya Pipeline Company to ensure smooth delivery and good atomization of heavy oil to achieve full combustion of the fuel and thus save operating costs.

The fuel used in industrial steam boilers is selected by the customer according to the actual use requirements, and ZOZEN can also produce dual-fuel boilers. Dual-fuel boilers are boilers that can burn either one fuel alone or a combination of two fuels. Compared to conventional boiler plants, dual-fuel boilers offer a more cost-effective operation option depending on the current unit cost of fuel. ZOZEN dual-fuel boilers are suitable for natural gas, biogas, diesel, biomass diesel, heavy oil and other fuels, providing a wide choice of heating equipment for business production.

The dual-fuel combustion method has higher technical requirements for the burners used in industrial boilers. Through joint technical research between ZOZEN boilers and burner manufacturers, the optional burners achieve the effect of burning fuel in any ratio, and the air regulator, combustion stabilizer, ignition device and flame monitoring device in the control section are suitable for multi-fuel requirements at the same time, and the combustion is stable and sufficient. In addition, ZOZEN dual-fuel boilers are designed with large furnace chamber, which provides sufficient space for different fuels to be fully burned. According to the fuel composition and actual working conditions, ZOZEN boilers will also design a set of boiler system solutions that are highly compatible with customers and provide supporting technical training to ensure safe and economic operation of boilers.
