Palm Oil Mill Boiler

The steam boiler has very important application in the palm oil mill. It supply the steam and heating for the palm oil production, such as in sterilizer section, digester section, clarification section, and oil drying system. A palm oil mill boiler is a vital piece of equipment that generates steam for the various heating and processing stages in palm oil extraction, acting as the heart of the mill. These boilers are predominantly biomass-fired, using by-products like empty palm fruit bunches, palm fiber, and palm shells as fuel.

Design Principles and Components of Palm Oil Mill Boiler

Two Drums: 1. Upper Steam Drum: Located at the top of the boiler, this drum serves as a reservoir for steam and water. It’s where the generated steam separates from the steam-water mixture rising from the tubes. It also typically houses internal components like baffles, cyclone separators, and screen driers to ensure the steam leaving the drum is as dry as possible.
2. Lower Mud Drum (or Water Drum): Situated at the bottom, this drum collects the cooler, denser water and serves as a collection point for sediment and impurities (hence “mud drum”). Downcomer tubes connect the upper steam drum to the lower mud drum, facilitating the natural circulation of water.

Water Tubes: These are the primary heat transfer surfaces. Water flows through these tubes, which are exposed to the hot combustion gases in the furnace. As water absorbs heat, it turns into a steam-water mixture.

Furnace/Combustion Chamber: This is where the fuel is burned. Bi-drum boilers can be designed for various firing methods, including: Solid fuels: Often combined with grates (traveling, dumping, reciprocating) or Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) systems for coal, biomass (rice husk, bagasse, wood waste), and other solid fuels.
Liquid/Gaseous fuels: Can also be configured for oil or natural gas firing.

Water Walls: The furnace walls are typically lined with water tubes (often membrane walls for better heat absorption and gas tightness), which are part of the water circulation system and contribute significantly to heat transfer.
Convection Bank: Beyond the furnace, a bank of tubes connects the two drums, where flue gases continue to transfer heat to the water, further generating steam.
Superheater (Optional): For applications requiring superheated steam (steam heated above its saturation temperature, typically for power generation), superheater coils are installed in the path of the hot flue gases.
Economizer and Air Preheater (Optional but common): These are heat recovery devices that improve overall boiler efficiency by preheating feedwater and combustion air, respectively, using the waste heat from the flue gases before they are discharged.

Frequently Asked Questions of Palm Oil Mill Boiler

Working Principle of a Boiler

Hot gasses are formed by burning fuel in the furnace. These glasses are made to come in contact with the water vessel, the point where the heat transfer takes place between the steam and water. Thus, the boiler's basic principle is to convert water into steam with heat energy.

Understanding your heating needs starts with knowing your boiler. In this article, we'll guide you through the 3 main types (combi, system, and regular) to discover their advantages and disadvantages to find the perfect fit.

The exact boiling temperature depends on how pure the oil is. The boiling point for palm cooking oil is estimated in about 300 C (or 572 F).

Palm oil factories are normally generate their own electricity. Electricity is generated by burning the waste products of the palm fruits, fibre and shell in a boiler.The boiler
generates steam which drives a steam turbine to produce electricity. Palm oil mills are located in plantations that are far away from major towns and as such they also treat their own water supply.

The steam boiler has very important application in the palm oil mill. It supply the steam and heating for the palm oil production, such as in sterilizer section, digester section, clarification section, and oil drying system. we can see that the steam boiler is important for the palm oil mill, but there are many types of the boiler in the market, we must choose the most suitable type to reach the best effect.
