Today, energy efficiency and the transition to local renewable resources are becoming increasingly important for manufacturing companies. Commissioned by one of the largest beverage producers in the Baltics — Cido Grupa — FILTER implemented a project aimed at modernizing the company’s steam production system. FILTER provided the supply, installation, and automation of the boiler house equipment:
- A 2.7 MW steam boiler was installed (maximum pressure 13 bar, operating pressure 10 bar), providing steam production capacity of up to 4,200 kg/h.
- The boiler is equipped with two rotary pellet burners (1.5 MW each) with power modulation from 20% to 100%. Fuel supply is fully automated from a 100 m³ pellet silo.
- To reduce emissions, four ceramic flue gas filters with a pneumatic soot cleaning system were installed, together with an 18 m high chimney.
- The equipment is controlled by Mitsubishi Electric automation with O₂ control, enabling optimization of the combustion process.
- The system enables fully automated boiler operation and remote monitoring
The project has been completed, and the new boiler house is now fully operational. It provides a stable steam supply for production while reducing CO₂ emissions by approximately 545 tonnes per year. The transition to biomass enables significant emission reductions without compromising production capacity, while also improving process stability.
