Refinery – Rape seed boiler

THE GOAL

Heating the administrative buildings of a refinery using rapeseed as an energy source.

THE CONTEXT

Energy Transition: Boiler installation as part of an oil-free platform

During its energy transition and the dismantling of certain equipment, a refinery opted to heat its administrative buildings with rapeseed (100% plant-based fuel). This decision is part of an ecological and sustainable approach, in line with the refinery’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and promote renewable energies.

During the transformation of one of its sites into a zero-oil platform focused on the production of aviation and automotive biofuels, bioplastics and chemical recycling, a refinery was faced with a new heating requirement.

In this context, the company has chosen to install four boilers to heat its administrative buildings and refectory.

THE CHALLENGE

Heating all buildings for 2.5 years

Our customer expressed the wish to use a green energy source to heat its facilities, in line with the energy transformation underway at the site.

To meet this challenge, it was necessary to design a heating solution that was both efficient and environmentally friendly, capable of meeting the buildings’ energy needs while at the same time being in line with the site’s energy transition approach. This involved identifying and implementing heating technologies using renewable energy sources, such as solar, biomass or other forms of green energy.
