Why is this change crucial for Naxpar?

Naxpar Group found themselves at a critical juncture. The furnace oil (FO) fuel was suddenly banned in the market, leaving them scrambling for alternatives. The obvious replacements, HSD and LDO came with prohibitively higher costs.

And following are the challenges that came along with FO: 

• Carbon deposits and soot built up constantly, requiring frequent maintenance.
• The inefficient fuel-to-steam ratio (only 11-12 kg steam per kg of FO) meant excessive fuel consumption and higher costs.
• The boilers needed preheating, adding to the existing complexities
• Boiler system itself was deteriorating faster than expected due to FO's harsh properties.

Beyond operational issues, Naxpar faced mounting community pressure. The residential neighborhoods surrounding their facility suffered from FO pollution, resulting in formal complaints from the pollution control board.

“The clean-burning LPG eliminated the sludge and soot problems that constantly plagued the maintenance team.”

This seamless switch delivered instant results! 

• Steam-to-fuel ratio jumped by 30%, from 11-12 kg per kg of fuel oil to 15 kg per kg of LPG.
• This efficiency boost came alongside a 25% reduction in their carbon footprint.
• Operations improved with LPG's cleaner combustion producing zero sludge or soot.
• LPG's instant, stable combustion, enhanced operational reliability.
• Logistics became simpler too. Unlike fuel oil, LPG required no preheating and was easier to store.

Perhaps most importantly, uninterrupted LPG supply and reliable technical support ensured zero production downtime.
