Why smart manufacturing companies choose hybrid steam boilers

With the increasing focus on sustainability and cost savings, a hybrid steam boiler setup—where gas-fired and electric boilers work together—offers a practical solution. Many production companies still rely on gas-fired steam boilers. If full electrification isn’t feasible due to limited power supply from the energy provider, it might be worth exploring the possibilities of a hybrid setup.

Benefits of a hybrid setup

By adding an electric steam boiler to the existing setup, companies can leverage the advantages of both energy sources. In a hybrid system, the electric boiler can supply steam when low-cost electricity is available, such as during peak periods of solar or wind energy. When steam demand rises or electricity prices increase, the gas-fired boiler can step in to support production. This results in flexible and continuously efficient steam production without compromising on reliability or sustainability.
