Industrial steam generators

Introducing the concept of “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) over the lifetime of an electric boiler and its comparison with a gas boiler.

Blog

Total Cost of Ownership(TCO) is a key indicator in industrial decision making, such as the choice of a steam boiler, as it assesses the real cost of an asset over its lifetime. Total Cost of Ownership includes not only the initial acquisition investment, but also operating costs, maintenance expenses, energy efficiency and the useful life […]

Return on investment analysis of conveyor L&D automation systems

In Giconmes we have carried out different projects of cleaning and disinfection (L&D) of conveyor belts: from a conveyor of an industry dedicated to the manufacture of detergent capsules to conveyors of the food industry, among many other successful cases of cleaning and disinfection of conveyors. But what is the return on investment of conveyor […]

The economic relevance of condensate reuse in steam generation

Condensates are the result of the condensation of steam after its use in industry. They are usually wasted, but there is a way to reduce water consumption and electricity demand through the process of reusing condensate in steam generation. In industry, steam generation is a fundamental process in sectors such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals or […]

Qualitative advantages of electric steam boilers over firetube boilers

In industry, steam generation is key to a wide variety of processes, from food production to chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. However, there are many ways to generate the steam needed for such processes, hence this comparison of electric vs. pyrotube steam boilers. Of the different technologies used to generate steam, electric boilers are the most […]

Steam quality: applications according to steam purity

Have you ever wondered what the requirements of different steam applications are? Did you know that a determining factor with respect to steam quality is the purity of the steam? Steam used in hospitals is not the same as steam used in the energy sector or in specific applications such as the cleaning and disinfection […]

Additional revenues with electric steam boilers: introduction to implicit and explicit electric flexibility

Introduction to electrical flexibility mechanisms How to participate in the flex markets? Regarding implicit flexibility, all consumers can participate in the electricity market and implement flexibility in their production process. In the case of explicit flexibility, power generation plants usually participate actively in the grid adjustment markets; however, with the transition to renewable energies, it […]
