In the face of fierce market competition and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, energy efficiency and environmental compliance have become critical for a company’s survival and growth. One of EPCB Boiler's long-term clients, a well-known fishmeal processing plant located in Weihai, Shandong, has trusted our boiler products and services over many years of cooperation. After years of operation, the plant decided to upgrade to a more efficient and environmentally friendly boiler system to meet the growing production demand and stricter emission requirements.
In 2023, this fishmeal plant contacted EPCB to seek an upgrade to its existing boiler system. Fishmeal processing is a highly energy-intensive industry, requiring large amounts of steam for heating and drying processes. As production increased, the old boiler could no longer meet the plant’s production needs. Additionally, rising energy costs led the company to seek a solution that could reduce fuel consumption, improve production efficiency, and meet environmental standards.
After multiple in-depth discussions and on-site assessments with the management team of the fishmeal plant, the EPCB team recommended a 25-ton biomass-fired steam boiler tailored to their production line's specific needs. This boiler not only features an efficient combustion system but also comes equipped with intelligent control technology that automatically adjusts the output based on production demands, ensuring optimal efficiency during different production stages.
Boiler Selection Process
The client had clear priorities when choosing a new boiler, focusing on three key factors: energy efficiency, environmental performance, and operational stability. After evaluating several boiler brands, the fishmeal plant ultimately chose EPCB’s solution. The decision was based on EPCB’s ability to provide a customized solution that met the production line’s specific needs, coupled with a high thermal efficiency and an automated control system that ensured optimal fuel use and minimized energy waste.
In addition, EPCB boilers excelled in environmental performance, which was a decisive factor for the client. We equipped the system with fiberglass spray scrubbers, bag filters, and fiberglass desulfurization towers to significantly reduce NOx emissions, ensuring the fishmeal plant passed local environmental audits smoothly.
Installation and Commissioning
The fishmeal plant is located in a coastal area of Weihai, Shandong, where space constraints presented a challenge during equipment installation. To ensure the boiler system could be installed smoothly, EPCB’s experienced technical team conducted multiple on-site inspections and made adjustments to the installation plan. Ultimately, we successfully designed a compact and efficient boiler installation solution, ensuring timely delivery.
Customer Feedback
Since the 25-ton biomass-fired steam boiler was put into operation, the fishmeal plant's production efficiency has improved significantly, with fuel consumption reduced by approximately 18% compared to the old system, greatly lowering production costs. Additionally, the boiler’s intelligent control system has simplified daily operations and reduced labor requirements. The client highly praised the stability and energy efficiency of EPCB’s boiler and expressed deep appreciation for our team’s quick response and professional technical support.
The successful operation of this 25-ton biomass-fired steam boiler helped the fishmeal plant pass the latest environmental inspections with ease, enhancing the company’s environmental image and strengthening its competitiveness in the international market. Through this cooperation, the client has reaffirmed their confidence in EPCB’s boiler products and services and expressed their willingness to continue choosing EPCB as a long-term partner for future projects.
