The client’s objectives and expectations

Decarbonization of industrial production at the Mériot Plant by replacing part of the steam production from gas boilers with steam produced by a biomass boiler, fueled by a by-product of its industrial activity: sunflower husks.

Our main tasks

  • Study of 8 project scenarios, based on 2 power levels, 2 sites, and 2 different boiler technologies.
  • Definition of the ICPE regulatory framework and associated constraints.
  • Design of the complete installation (Fuel handling, Boiler process, Flue gas filtration, Electricity, Hydraulics, Civil Engineering, connection to existing steam installations, etc.).

Project characteristics

  • Capacity: 20 t/h or 35 t/h,
  • Pressure: 16 bar(g),
  • Biomass site coverage rate: 62% to 93% depending on the scenarios,
  • Building: 700 to 900 m² depending on the scenarios.
