Water tube coil steam generator design provides safe and efficient heat for renewable fuel production.

Boiler unit needed to produce consistent steam for reliable temperature modulation, and steam on-demand.

The Silvestri family has been in the renewable energy business for 14 years. Their family-owned and operated business —SILTRI Bio Fuels Inc. — has spent the last decade and a half contributing to the global renewable energy market by aiding in the conversion of recycled vegetable oil into environmentally-friendly Biodiesel fuels. 

As Joe Silvestri, the owner of SILTRI, explained, “We bring in used cooking oil from restaurants and food manufacturing facilities, filter out the unwanted impurities and moisture, then send the refined product to Biodiesel plants in North America and overseas.” This refinement process involves multiple stages, most of which require a consistent high level of heat. Temperature plays a critical role in this operation and is key in producing a high-quality product meeting specs.

RENEWED INVESTMENT

Although the steam generator is still going strong, Joe knew that it wouldn’t last forever. As Ron stated, “SILTRI bought the steam generator used, and with the added 14 years of operation, it was reaching the end of its useful life.

” Moreover, business was expanding, and demand was greater. It was time to upgrade their equipment. For Joe, there was no question of where to turn for their new steam generator. “Because I was 150% satisfied with our old steam generator, I called Clayton.” This time, Joe was ready to move up. With an eye to his evolving company needs, Joe was ready to invest in a steam generator with better efficiency, greater horsepower, up-to-date controls, and a full warranty. SILTRI purchased their Clayton E-254 250 BHP steam generator with the added economizer last year, and it has proven to be another worthwhile investment.
