Pellet Fuel Options & Combustion Systems

ISOTEX Ecotherm pellet fired thermic fluid heaters are engineered for the full range of densified pellet fuels — from premium certified pellets to agricultural biomass pellets and terrified pellets — delivering consistent, automated combustion with the highest efficiency of any solid biomass fuel format.

Pellet Fuel Options & Combustion Systems

Pellets (EN-Plus / ISO 17225 Certified)

Premium compressed pellets at 4,200–4,800 kCal/kg; lowest ash content (<1%), highest GCV, and cleanest combustion of any solid biomass fuel — ideal for stationary and bubbling bed grate systems with automated screw conveyor feeding

Agricultural Biomass Pellets

Densified agro-waste pellets manufactured from rice husk, mustard stalk, cotton stalk, and sugarcane bagasse at 3,200–3,800 kCal/kg; widely available across India at significantly lower cost than pellets — compatible with bubbling bed combustion systems

Groundnut Shell Pellets

High-calorific pellets from compressed groundnut husk at ~4,000–4,200 kCal/kg; low ash content and consistent particle size — excellent automated fuel for Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh based plants

Pellet Fuel Advantages Over Loose Biomass

Consistent calorific value:

Palletisation standardises GCV — eliminates combustion variability from seasonal moisture and quality changes

Lower moisture content:

Pellets manufactured at ≤10% moisture vs. 30–50% for fresh biomass — directly improves combustion efficiency and reduces flue gas moisture losses

Automated feeding:

Uniform pellet size and flow characteristics enable fully automated— minimal manual intervention

Compact storage:

High bulk density (600–700 kg/m³) vs. loose biomass (80–150 kg/m³) — significantly smaller fuel storage footprint required

Technology Advantages

6 Technology Advantages of the Ecotherm Biomass Fired Heater

The Ecotherm delivers factory-assembled, plug-and-play pellet fired thermic fluid heating — engineered for maximum automation, consistent performance, and long-term reliability using premium densified pellet fuels.

01

Modular Engineered Heater House

  • Up to 74% reduction in site installation costs through factory-assembled modular heater house design
  • Up to 46% reduction in space utilisation — compact modular layout for space-constrained industrial sites
  • Up to 50% reduction in refractory costs (material & labour) versus traditional site-erected heater houses

02

Oil-Cooled Top Reversal — Efficiency Built to Last

  • Fully oil-cooled turnaround chamber unlike traditional refractory top cover designs — eliminates refractory cracking and maintenance in pellet-fired continuous operation
  • Longer life: oil-cooled top design removes the primary failure point of conventional refractory-lined heaters running on pellet fuel
  • Low maintenance: trouble-free operation with minimal downtime — no refractory patching or annual repair campaigns even in 24/7 pellet-fired operation

  • Longer life: oil-cooled top design removes the primary failure point of conventional refractory-lined heaters running on pellet fuel
  • Low maintenance: trouble-free operation with minimal downtime — no refractory patching or annual repair campaigns even in 24/7 pellet-fired operation

03

Thermic Fluid Preheater (TFPH) — Waste Heat Recovery

  • Smart energy-saving device recovers waste heat from coal flue gases to preheat thermic fluid — particularly valuable with higher flue gas temperatures from coal combustion
  • Heater efficiency improvement of up to 3% through flue gas heat recovery — directly reduces coal consumption and operating cost
  • Fuel savings: lower coal bills through improved thermal efficiency — TFPH pays back rapidly through reduced coal consumption

04

SMARTWIZ IoT Heater Control System

  • IoT-enabled heater control panel with real-time data monitoring, predictive maintenance alerts, and cloud-based analytics
  • 24/7 remote access: monitor heater temperature parameters
  • Data-driven insights: optimise coal feed rates, combustion air settings, and draft control to minimise coal consumption per kCal output

Advanced ASTM-Standard Heater Tube Technology

  • All heater tubes manufactured to ASTM standards — designed for superior heat transfer, high-pressure operation, and long service life
  • High strength & durability: withstands demanding continuous operating conditions from high-temperature
  • Excellent heat transfer: optimum tube geometry ensures maximum heat extraction from pellet flue gases at all load conditions
