District Heating

BONO can offer important experiences in the field of district heating.
For this kind of plants we can offer different solutions to produce superheated water:
- Thermal fluid heaters + water heat exchanger: capacity up to 40 MW
- Heat recovery generators (From gas turbines or engines): capacity up to 40 MW
- Water tube boiler + heat exchanger: up to 80 MW
CTH SERIES GENERATORS
They are package generators and produce directly superheated water.

The superheated water boilers made by Bono Energia are designed for thermal capacities ranging from 5 to 60MWt, with hot water outlet temperatures up to 260°C and pressures up to 65bar.
CTH boilers offer a reliable solution for applications such as district heating and for
industrial processes where hot water (under 120°) is used. For this applications an
accurate temperature control and a fast thermal response are needed.
Thanks to their multi-tubular and very compact structure, CTH allow an easy installation and an overall thermal efficiency higher than 94%. The wide furnace, water tube screened, helps the thermal exchange and allows to match the strictest NOx emissions levels.
The external walls of the heaters never reach more than 20-30°C above the ambient temperature.
Up to 30MWt, thanks to their innovative design, CTH heaters are delivered in a package solution. Over 30MWt a field erection of the heater is required. The pressure parts will be delivered in only two sections reducing the local assembly
costs. CTH heaters offer complete accessibility for cleaning and maintenance through proper inspection doors, which allow to fully inspect their interior.

Thanks to a patented design, an innovative technology and modularity,
CTH generators offer the following advantages:
- Package configuration
- Quick reaction to load variation
- The possibility to prefabbricate many parts of the boiler (Site erected Units)
- Short manufacturing time
- Short installation time
- Elimination of intermediate heat exchangers with respect to the use of a water tube boiler + heat exchanger
- Elimination of physical thermal deareator
- Simple water treatment plant
- Rationalization of primary and secondary water circulation and distribution circuits
- Thermal efficiency up to 95-96%
- Very low emissions levels (With 3% of Oxygen in flue gas, BONO respects these values: less than 100 mg/Nm3 for NOx, less than 100 mg/Nm3 for CO).
