Olon S.p.A.: twin HE Smart CT boilers for pharmaceutical plant
To enhance efficiency and ensure uninterrupted API production, Olon Spa selected Cannon Bono’s twin HE Smart CT boilers: an advanced, energy-efficient solution designed for maximum reliability and low emissions.
Olon: the client
Olon S.p.A. is an Italian multinational specialized in the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) through both synthetic and biological processes.
With more than 100 years of history and a network of 11 production sites worldwide, Olon is recognized as a global leader in the pharmaceutical sector, renowned for its deep process expertise, advanced technologies, and uncompromising quality standards.
The challenge
Olon’s previous boiler was outdated and inefficient, and no longer able to meet the needs of its thermal power plant.
They wanted to improve the performance of the thermal power plant, satisfying all production needs: availability, flexibility of loads and simplicity of management, reliability and energy efficiency.
The solution
Cannon Bono designed and supplied a turnkey system consisting of two CT water tube steam boilers for the production of superheated water up to 243°C.
The twin HE Smart boilers supplied, one master and one backup, guarantee the highest operating standards. The backup boiler is always ready to support or replace the main one, designed to automatically switch from standby to complete operations in 15 minutes max.
The supply includes:
- Boiler operator exemption of up to 72 hours
- OptiSpark, our control and management system for full integration into the process
- A ZeroGas series deaerator from our sister company Cannon Artes was placed upstream of the boilers for the removal of excess CO2 and O2 present in the feedwater.
The efficiency and emissions values that we guaranteed went well beyond Olon’s expectations, particularly in regards to emissions.
