Fromconventional fuels like oil, gas, coaland diesel to non-conventionalfuels like washery rejects, agrowaste and even slag!The depth of understanding —the limits and potential of variousfuels for various applications — is aresult of pioneering research anddevelopment work being done byThermax.

Thermax hassupplied a fluidised bed boiler,along with accessories, to burnaround 50,000 tonnes of husk ayear and generate high pressuresteam to run the plant's turbines.Combipac, the standard Thermaxboiler for such applications, offersmulti-fuel capability with highthermal efficiency.Expertise in a variety of fuelsenables Thermax to offer industryretrofitting services,from scarce fuels tomore easilyavailable options.The RashtriyaChemical Fertilisers (RCF)came to the Thermax group whenit faced a shortage of natural gaswhich ran its high pressure andtemperature boilers for generationof power and process steam. RCFwanted to switch over to naphtha,but wanted to keep its optionsopen for using natural gas,whenever available. ThermaxBabcock and Wilcox (TBW), a jointventure company of the ThermaxGroup, designed a retrofit that willfire gas and naphtha in anyproportion.
