Burmeister & Wain Energy is pleased to announce the signing of a contract with Sainsons Paper Industries Pvt. Ltd. for the design and supply of a 95 TPH biomass-fired boiler in India.

The project represents another significant milestone in Burmeister & Wain Energy's growing portfolio of renewable energy solutions and reinforces its commitment to supporting industries in their transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy production.

The agreement was formally signed by representatives of both companies, establishing a partnership focused on delivering a modern boiler solution that combines high efficiency, operational reliability and exceptional fuel flexibility.

About the client

Sainsons Paper Industries Pvt. Ltd. is an established Indian paper manufacturer serving a wide range of industrial and commercial markets. The company produces paper products for packaging, printing and other applications where reliable steam generation is essential for efficient manufacturing.

As sustainability becomes increasingly important within the paper industry, Sainsons continues to invest in modern technologies that improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions and strengthen long-term operational performance. The new biomass boiler forms a key part of this strategy.

The project

The scope of supply includes the engineering, design and supply of a high-performance biomass-fired boiler with the following specifications:

• Capacity: 95 TPH
• Fuel: 100% Rice Straw
• Fuel Flexibility: Rice husk, sugarcane trash, sugarcane leaves, cotton waste, sawdust and other agricultural biomass residues
• Live Steam Pressure: 68 bara
• Live Steam Temperature: 495°C at 100% MCR

The boiler has been designed to deliver reliable steam production while maintaining high thermal efficiency across varying operating conditions.

Built for Fuel Flexibility

A key advantage of the project is its ability to efficiently utilize multiple biomass fuels. While designed primarily for rice straw, the boiler can also operate with a wide range of agricultural residues, allowing Sainsons to adapt to seasonal fuel availability and market conditions.

This flexibility enables the company to:

-  Maintain a reliable year-round fuel supply

-  Optimize operating costs

-  Reduce dependence on a single biomass source

-  Improve resilience against seasonal shortages

Engineering for Challenging Biomass Fuels

Designing a boiler capable of firing agricultural residues presents several engineering challenges due to its high ash content, variable moisture levels and combustion characteristics.

To address these challenges, Burmeister & Wain Energy has engineered the boiler with advanced combustion technology and a robust furnace design capable of maintaining stable combustion across a wide range of biomass fuels while ensuring high efficiency, operational reliability and long equipment life.

Technology Highlights

The new boiler incorporates several features that make it particularly noteworthy:

• High-efficiency combustion technology for agricultural biomass
• Capability to operate on a wide variety of renewable fuels
• High steam parameters of 68 bara and 495°C
• Robust design for continuous industrial operation
• Optimized performance despite variations in biomass quality
• A future-ready solution supporting the transition to renewable industrial energy

Impact on Operations

Steam is a critical utility in paper manufacturing, and the new biomass boiler will provide Sainsons Paper Industries with a dependable supply of high-pressure, high-temperature steam for continuous production.

The investment is expected to deliver:

-  Improved energy efficiency
-  Greater operational reliability
-  Reduced fuel costs through biomass flexibility
-  Enhanced plant performance
-  Increased sustainability and long-term competitiveness

Building a Sustainable Future Together

This project further strengthens Burmeister & Wain Energy's position as a trusted supplier of advanced biomass energy solutions for industrial applications worldwide.

 We sincerely thank Sainsons Paper Industries Pvt. Ltd. for their confidence in Burmeister & Wain Energy. We look forward to delivering a successful project that supports efficient production, renewable energy utilization and a more sustainable future for the paper industry.

 A special thanks also goes to everyone from both organizations whose expertise, collaboration and commitment helped bring this project to fruition.
