Coprob, one of Italy’s leading sugar producers, required a highly reliable and large-scale combustion solution capable of supplying the substantial steam demand needed during the sugar campaign.

The facility operates two major water-tube boilers feeding critical processes such as diffusion, evaporation, crystallization, and steam-intensive production stages.

The objective was to ensure stable high steam output, optimize energy efficiency, and guarantee low-NOx, ATEX-certified operation across both boiler systems.

General Bruciatori engineered and delivered two burner configurations, providing a combined installed thermal capacity of 196 MW, tailored to the steam load requirements of each boiler.

1) 135 t/h Water-Tube Boiler

• 2 × AMR 18 G P AC LX Atex burners
• 62 MW each, 124 MW total
• Optimized for operation with 100°C preheated combustion air
• Fully ATEX-compliant mechanical and electrical execution

2) 90 t/h Water-Tube Boiler

• 4 × AMR 10 G P AC LX Atex burners
• 18 MW each, 72 MW total
• Integrated with the same high-performance combustion philosophy
• Advanced air–gas ratio control for low-NOx operation

Both systems were engineered to provide stable combustion,low emissions, and maximum operational continuity for the demanding sugar production process.

After installation and commissioning, the plant achieved:

• Continuous high-capacity steam generation during peak production periods
• Improved combustion efficiency and reduced operating costs
• Full compliance with ATEX safety requirements
• Significantly reduced NOx emissions
• Enhanced operational flexibility thanks to multi-burner architecture

• Scalable combustion capacity for high steam demand
• Robust combined output of 196 MW
• Low-NOx, high-efficiency combustion performance
• Heavy-duty mechanical design with corrosion-resistant construction
• Increased reliability and reduced downtime
• Complete compliance with ATEX hazardous-area safety standards
