🔥 FROM COCONUT SHELLS TO A COMPLETE BIOMASS STEAM SOLUTION
Another successful turnkey steam project by CS Engineering Services – Divulapitiya, Sri Lanka.
We are proud to have completed the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a 3 TPH Maxtherm Max Steam Boiler for a leading coconut manufacturing facility in Divulapitiya.
The customer was previously operating a 2 TPH coconut-shell-fired boiler, with ash handling limited mainly to an ash room. With increasing fuel costs and the need for improved efficiency and emission control, a complete steam-generation solution was developed by CS Engineering Services.
⚙️ OUR NEW INSTALLATION
🔹 3 TPH Maxtherm Steam Boiler
🔹 Biomass / firewood firing system
🔹 Air Preheater – improved combustion efficiency and heat recovery
🔹 Mechanical Dust Collector – particulate separation before flue gas discharge
🔹 SS 202 Wet Scrubbing System
🔹 Dedicated Scrubber Circulation Pumping System
🔹 Cyclone / Dust Collection & Ducting System
🔹 New Chimney & Flue Gas Ducting
🔹 Complete Ash Handling Solution
🔹 Boiler Feed & Circulation Piping
🔹 Electrical Control Panel & Automation
🔹 All associated civil works
🔹 Complete installation, testing & commissioning
💰 FUEL ECONOMICS – A MAJOR CONSIDERATION
The fuel price difference was one of the key factors in developing the new solution.
Coconut Shell: approximately LKR 80/kg
Firewood: approximately LKR 7/kg
Around 80% proven cost saving in per steam kg
While the actual cost of steam per kg depends on boiler efficiency, fuel moisture, calorific value, firing rate and operating conditions, the substantial difference in fuel cost creates a significant opportunity to reduce the overall steam-generation cost when suitable firewood/biomass is available.

🌱 MORE THAN JUST A BOILER
This project was not simply a boiler replacement.
It was a complete steam-generation and environmental solution, designed around the customer’s fuel availability, production requirements, emission-control requirements and operating economics.
From boiler selection → fuel system → heat recovery → dust collection → wet scrubbing → ash handling → ducting → chimney → civil works → electrical & controls → installation & commissioning, the complete project was executed by CS Engineering Services.
One project. One engineering partner. Complete turnkey responsibility.
