Product Overview

The Highest Efficiency FBC Boiler Design in its Class

The ISOTEX Ecobloc Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Steam Boiler represents a technological breakthrough in industrial steam generation โ€” incorporating patented ‘inbed heat recovery’ technology that makes this boiler simply outstanding in its class.

Unlike conventional FBC designs, the inbed heat recovery achieves 85% thermal efficiency, 40% reduction in power consumption, and 25% reduction in footprint area โ€” simultaneously delivering superior performance at lower operating cost.

The Ecobloc FBC boiler is a horizontal multitubular shell type, fire tube boiler with water-wall furnace and integrated FBC combustor โ€” combining the best of fire tube efficiency with the multi-fuel flexibility and high combustion efficiency (>98%) of fluidized bed technology.

Designed for industries requiring reliable, high-efficiency steam generation from a wide range of solid fuels โ€” including difficult low-grade fuels, high-ash fuels, and agricultural biomass waste.

Multi-Fuel Capability โ€” FBC Advantage

The Ecobloc FBC system uses fluidizing bed media (sand) to catch flying-away unburnt fuel particles โ€” giving sufficient time for complete combustion and distributing heat evenly throughout the combustion area. This results in >98% combustion efficiency and the unique ability to efficiently burn fuels that challenge conventional grate-fired boilers.

Why FBC handles fuels conventional boilers cannot
The FBC Difference
  • Burns high-fines and low-grade fuels with high ash content
  • Fast load response like oil-fired systems โ€” high bed turbulence
  • Very low maintenance โ€” no moving grate components
  • >98% combustion efficiency โ€” complete burn before fuel exits
  • Consistent performance across fuel quality variations

Fluidized Bed Combustion โ€” >98% Combustion Efficiency

  • Fluidizing bed media (sand) captures flying-away unburnt fuel particles โ€” giving every particle sufficient time for complete combustion before exiting
  • >98% combustion efficiency โ€” measurably superior to grate-fired systems (85โ€“90%) and conventional FBC without inbed cooling (90โ€“95%)
  • Even heat distribution throughout the combustion area โ€” fluidized sand bed acts as a thermal flywheel, absorbing and distributing heat uniformly
  • Ability to burn high-fines and low-grade fuels with high ash โ€” handles fuel quality that clogs and damages conventional grate systems

Fast Load Response & Operational Reliability

  • Automatic, mechanised fuel feeding ensures consistent temperature and heat output without manual intervention
  • High bed turbulence facilitates rapid response to load changes โ€” comparable to oil-fired systems in load-following capability
  • Very low maintenance cost and high reliability โ€” no moving grate components; fluidized bed is inherently self-cleaning with uniform wear
  • Consistent performance across fuel quality variations โ€” FBC system self-regulates to accommodate seasonal and supply-chain fuel changes
