If your plant still generates steam using oil or gas, moving to biomass raises two important questions: How do we make the switch, and who will manage the fuel and operations afterwards?
Steamax addresses both through its BOOT (Build, Own, Operate & Transfer) model, offered as Steam-as-a-Service.
Depending on the condition, age and requirements of your existing boiler, there are two possible pathways:
1. Convert the existing boiler to biomass
If the existing boiler is suitable for conversion, we add specialised equipment so it can run on biomass.
2. Install a new biomass-fired boiler
Where replacement makes more sense, Steamax can design and install a new biomass-fired system.
Under the BOOT model, Steamax invests in the required asset, manages biomass sourcing and quality, operates and maintains the system, and supplies steam to the plant at an agreed price.
The customer pays for the steam consumed, rather than making the upfront investment in the system.
Fuel procurement, quality checks, warehousing, operations, maintenance and ash management are handled as part of the service.
At the end of the agreed contract term, the asset can be transferred to the customer on the pre-agreed terms.
The idea is simple: you focus on your production while Steamax manages the thermal utility.
