For the more involved and intricate projects, Windsor have developed a four stage process for Fuel Conversions to ensure we can execute the project in a collaborative manner, and make sure our clients expectations are being met at every stage.

1. Feasibility Study

Firstly we begin with a simple desktop feasibility study to assess whether it’s efficient and economical to proceed with the conversion.

2. Fuel Trial

Our combustion and performance engineers together with the site team will then proceed with a controlled fuel trial to prove the project viability and to assess what areas or equipment will require modifications, replacements or additions.

3. Front End Engineering Design

The purpose of this stage is to design for any changes that may have been discovered in the fuel trial, and to finalise the budget for the conversion project.

4. Project Execution

The Windsor Energy team will use their 40+ years of experience in boiler design, installing, and commissioning to ensure your old boiler performs as good as new on the chosen fuel.

See the downloads section for a case study on the largest fuel conversion in New Zealand, completed by Windsor, at the Fonterra Te Awamutu site. Using the collaborative steps above, Windsor were able to ensure Fonterra maintained their original MCR of their 43MW superheated steam boiler.
