Triniton develops steam and power generation solutions focused on performance, reliability, and the continuous evolution of industrial assets. Headquartered in Sertãozinho, São Paulo—Brazil’s leading agribusiness hub—the company plays an active role in the ongoing development of the industry.
Within this context, projects such as the one carried out at the COPLASA unit are not the result of chance, but of Grupo Moreno’s strategic vision, as highlighted by Edvaldo Luiz da Silva, Mechanical Maintenance Manager at the unit.
The COPLASA boiler project, developed by Triniton, was structured in two phases, with a strong focus on operational efficiency, optimization of existing assets, and increased steam generation capacity.
The solution preserves the plant’s existing footprint while maximizing the utilization of the installed infrastructure, enabling expansion with an optimized CAPEX and a high level of technical and economic efficiency.
Among the project's key improvements are the replacement of the former refractory boiler with a modern finned water-wall boiler, the implementation of a hybrid grate system to increase operational flexibility, and the expansion of the heat transfer surface, providing higher efficiency and greater combustion stability.
Even before completion of the second phase—which will increase capacity to 150 t/h—the boiler had already exceeded its original rated capacity of 100 t/h. Prior to the project, it operated between 80 and 90 t/h. Following the first-phase improvements, it reached 110 t/h, demonstrating significant productivity gains, restored operational efficiency, and the successful execution of the retrofit.
As a result, the project increases the steam generation capacity from 100 t/h to 150 t/h while maintaining the existing civil foundations, bagasse conveying systems, and several electrical drives. This approach significantly reduces implementation costs and allows the upgrades to be carried out over two off-season maintenance periods without impacting the mill’s operational continuity.
More than a technical project, this initiative represents the consolidation of a partnership built on trust, close collaboration, and continuous technical alignment. Grupo Moreno’s strategic vision, combined with Triniton’s engineering expertise, has resulted in a robust and efficient solution designed to sustain consistent operational gains over the coming harvest seasons.
