Slide13: BIOMASS STEAM GENERATION We are Green! Our facilities are fueled independently with certified on site Bio Energy technology which produce steam and future electricity both fueled by wood/waste products


Slide14: BIOMASS STEAM GENERATION The project is designed to generate 10 tons/hr of saturated steam at 12 bars of gauge pressure, using one waste heat boilers. SIMTEX will reduce fossil fuel purchases in the amount of approximately 17,000,000 gallons by 2012. Consequently, SIMTEX operations will replace Carbon Dioxide emissions from fossil fuels by natural Carbon emissions in the amount of 197,000,000 tons during the course of the project. Technical Data and Benefits to the Environment We are Green!


Slide15: BIOMASS STEAM GENERATION Once the “BIOMASS” has reached the proper humidity content, it is taken to the waste heat boiler, where it is incinerated, and the combustion gases are reclaimed to heat up water, to eventually generate steam. The steam generated is then sent to SIMTEX where it is used in the dyeing process. PROCESS LOGISTICS We are Green!
