Biomass Boiler Manufacturer in Pakistan

Why Factories in Pakistan Are Switching to a Biomass Boiler

For many textile, food, ghee and rice mill owners, steam is one of the biggest running costs. Gas supply is not always stable and the price keeps going up. A biomass boiler lets you use fuel that is grown and sold locally, so you are not depending on gas or imported oil. Rice husk, wood chips, cotton stalks, bagasse and corn cobs are easy to buy in most cities of Punjab and Sindh, and you can switch between them when prices change.

A well-designed biomass boiler gives steady steam for 24/7 production, and it can also burn coal or a coal and biomass mix when needed. This fuel flexibility protects your factory from sudden fuel shortages.

How a Biomass Boiler Works

Fuel is fed into the furnace, where it burns on a grate or in a fluidized bed. The hot gases travel through the boiler tubes three times (three-pass design), so more heat goes into the water and less heat is lost through the chimney. The water turns into steam, and the steam goes to your process: dyeing machines, cookers, deodorizers, pasteurizers or dryers. Before the flue gas leaves the chimney, a cyclone dust collector removes ash and dust.

Which Biomass Fuel Is Best for Your Boiler?

• Rice husk: the most common fuel in Punjab, cheap and easy to handle.
• Wood chips and wood logs: good heat value and a stable flame.
• Cotton stalks: low cost in cotton areas like Multan and Bahawalpur.
• Bagasse and corn cob: good options near sugar mills and maize areas.
• Mixed fuel: biomass with coal when you need extra heat.

Every fuel burns differently. That is why we ask about your fuel first and then choose the right furnace and grate for your biomass boiler.

Choosing the Right Biomass Boiler Size

Boiler size is measured in TPH (tons of steam per hour). To size your boiler correctly, we look at your steam use per hour, working pressure, running hours per day, the fuel you plan to use and space for fuel storage. A boiler that is too big wastes fuel; a boiler that is too small cannot keep up with production. Our engineers visit your site, check your load and recommend the right capacity between 3 and 25 TPH. For larger loads, we also build water tube boilers up to 30 TPH.

Clean Stacks and EPA Rules in Punjab

Industrial boilers in Punjab must meet the emission standards of the Environment Protection Department Punjab, especially during the smog season. Every AGK boiler can be supplied with multi-cyclone dust collectors or wet scrubbers, so your stack stays clean and your factory stays compliant. You can read more about this type of system on the biomass heating system page.

Biomass vs Gas: A Simple Cost Check

To compare fuels, look at the cost of one ton of steam, not just the price of fuel. Gas is clean and easy, but its price and supply are not in your control. Biomass needs fuel storage, a feeding system and ash removal, but the fuel itself costs much less and is available from local suppliers. Most of our customers find that the savings on fuel pay for the boiler over time. Tell us your current gas or fuel bill and steam use, and our engineers will give you an honest comparison before you decide.

Our Process: From Site Visit to Steady Steam

1. Site visit and load study: we check your steam use, pressure, fuel and space.
2. Design and quotation: you get a clear offer with capacity, firing system and scope.
3. Fabrication: the boiler is built and pressure-tested in our Sahiwal workshop.
4. Delivery and installation: our team installs the boiler, piping and auxiliaries at your site.
5. Commissioning and training: we start the plant, test it under load and train your operators.
6. After-sales support: spare parts, breakdown service and AMC contracts keep your plant running.

Tips to Get the Best from Your Boiler

• Keep fuel dry. Wet rice husk or wood chips lower heat and increase smoke.
• Treat feed water properly to stop scale inside the tubes.
• Clean the dust collector and remove ash on time.
• Train operators to control air and fuel feeding during load changes.
• Book a yearly inspection and overhaul before the busy season.

Biomass Boiler Types We Build

There is no single biomass boiler that suits every factory. The right design depends on your fuel, your steam load and how many hours you run. AGK builds three main firing systems, and our engineers help you pick the one that fits your plant.

Fixed Bed (Fixed Grate) Biomass Boiler

This is the simplest design. Fuel burns on a fixed grate and ash is removed at set times. It is a good choice for small and medium loads, usually from 3 to 8 TPH, where the fuel is fairly uniform, like wood logs or briquettes. It costs less to buy and is easy for operators to learn.

Chain Grate (Travelling Grate) Biomass Boiler

In a chain grate boiler, the grate moves slowly through the furnace. Fresh fuel enters at the front and ash falls off at the back, all automatically. This gives steady combustion and less manual work. It is the most common choice for medium and large factories that burn rice husk, wood chips or coal day and night.

Fluidized Bed Biomass Boiler

Here the fuel burns in a bed of hot sand that is kept moving by air from below. Fluidized bed firing handles fuels with high moisture or mixed sizes very well, such as bagasse, cotton stalks and mixed biomass. It is best for larger loads and for plants that want maximum fuel flexibility.

Rice Husk Boiler: The Most Popular Choice in Punjab

A rice husk boiler is the first choice for many factories in Punjab and Sindh. Rice husk is a by-product of rice mills, so it is available in large quantity around Lahore, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Hafizabad, Kasur and many other rice-growing areas. It is light, dry and easy to feed with screw conveyors or pneumatic systems.

Rice husk has a high ash content, so the furnace, grate and ash removal system must be designed for it. Our rice husk boiler designs have the right grate area, air supply and ash handling, so the boiler keeps running smoothly without frequent cleaning. A multi-cyclone dust collector catches the fine ash before the flue gas leaves the chimney.

• Low fuel cost compared to gas and furnace oil
• Easy to buy from local rice mills and fuel suppliers
• Automatic feeding keeps steam pressure steady
• Ash can often be sold or used for other purposes

Fuel Storage, Feeding and Ash Handling

A biomass boiler is more than the boiler itself. To run well, it needs a proper fuel yard, a feeding system and ash removal. We design these parts together with the boiler, so everything works as one system.

• Fuel storage: a covered shed keeps biomass dry. Dry fuel burns better and gives more steam.
• Fuel feeding: screw feeders, belt conveyors or pneumatic feeders move fuel from the yard to the furnace.
• Ash handling: ash conveyors and ash pits remove ash safely and keep the boiler house clean.
• Flue gas cleaning: multi-cyclone dust collectors or wet scrubbers control stack emissions.

Planning these parts at the start saves money later and avoids problems such as fuel jams, smoke and unplanned shutdowns.

Industries That Use Our Biomass Boilers

Since 2002, AGK has supplied steam systems to many types of factories across Pakistan. Each industry uses steam in a different way, and we design the biomass boiler around that use.

• Textile and dyeing: steady steam for dyeing machines, stenters and washing ranges.

Biomass Boiler FAQs

What is the price of a biomass boiler in Pakistan?

The price depends on capacity (TPH), working pressure, fuel type, firing system and the extra equipment you need, such as dust collectors and fuel conveyors. Share these details with us on WhatsApp and we will send a clear quotation.

Can a biomass boiler run only on rice husk?

Yes. Many of our boilers run fully on rice husk. We design the grate and air supply for your main fuel, and the boiler can still burn other biomass or coal when needed.

Can I convert my gas boiler to biomass?

In many cases, yes. Our boiler engineering services team checks your existing boiler and tells you if a fuel conversion is practical or if a new biomass boiler is the better choice.

Do you provide service after installation?

Yes. Our engineers and spare parts are local, so we can reach your factory quickly. We offer 24/7 support and yearly AMC contracts for every boiler we install.

How long does a biomass boiler last?

With proper water treatment, regular cleaning and yearly overhauls, a well-built biomass boiler can serve your factory for many years. Most wear happens in parts like grates and refractory, and these can be replaced locally.

How much space does a biomass boiler need?

You need space for the boiler, the dust collector, the chimney and a covered fuel store. Our engineers visit your site and suggest a layout that fits your available area.

Can a biomass boiler run 24 hours a day?

Yes. With automatic fuel feeding and trained operators, a biomass boiler can run 24/7. Many of our customers run their boilers round the clock in textile, food and dairy plants.

What is the difference between a rice husk boiler and a wood fired boiler?

Both are biomass boilers. A rice husk boiler is designed for light fuel with high ash, while a wood fired boiler handles larger, heavier pieces. Many AGK boilers can burn both, and we set up the grate and air supply for your main fuel.
