ZOZEN 21-ton Gas Fired Steam Boilers for Bolivia's Lithium Industry

Bolivia's Uyuni Salt Flat, known as the "Sky Mirror," harbors the world's largest lithium reserves, accounting for approximately 70% of global lithium deposits. This abundant resource presents an ideal opportunity for Bolivia's economic growth. To efficiently exploit and utilize the lithium resources of the salt flat, Yacimientos de Litio Bolivianos-YLB, Bolivia's strategic state-owned lithium mining company, has established a lithium carbonate plant.

 

YLB's project leaders approached the procurement of boiler equipment with care. Following comprehensive market research, they conducted an on-site inspection of ZOZEN Boiler's manufacturing base in Yixing, leading to a successful collaboration. ZOZEN Boiler's automated production processes and information management systems provided a guarantee of high-quality and high-performance boilers. Through extensive communication, ZOZEN Boiler's technical personnel gained a deep understanding of the specific production requirements of YLB's lithium carbonate plant. Playing a vital role in this venture, ZOZEN Boiler provides three sets of 21-ton gas fired steam boilers as essential heat sources to facilitate the development and commercialization of the salt flat's resources. 

 

Bolivia is the country with the highest average elevation in the world. The project site is situated at an altitude of 3,650 meters. To address the specific challenges, ZOZEN Boiler provides tailored products and services that ensure the reliability and performance of three sets of 21-ton gas fired steam boilers.

ZOZEN 21-ton gas fired steam boiler

 

ZOZEN Boiler recognizes the lower oxygen content at high altitudes, which can lead to incomplete combustion and unstable flames. To combat these issues, 21-ton gas fired steam boilers are equipped with combustion systems specifically designed for high-altitude environments. These designs optimize combustion efficiency and ensure stable heat output even at reduced oxygen levels.

 

Gas fuels are often preferred in high-altitude areas due to the higher combustion efficiency compared to liquid fuels. ZOZEN Boiler considers this factor and offers 21-ton gas fired steam boilers suitable for high-altitude environments. These boilers ensure efficient combustion processes, compensating for the lower oxygen levels.

 

The reduced oxygen levels at high altitudes can affect the stability of exhaust gas emissions and compliance with emission standards. ZOZEN Boiler ensures that 21-ton gas fired steam boilers meet local environmental emission standards. We also adjust or optimize the combustion system according to the altitude, effectively reducing the generation of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx).

 

Low temperatures at high altitudes can cause freezing in boiler pipelines and water systems. ZOZEN Boiler implements appropriate anti-freezing measures, such as using antifreeze agents and heating pipelines and equipment. These measures guarantee the normal operation and safety of the industrial boilers.

 

The harsh climate conditions in high-altitude areas can accelerate wear and corrosion on 21-ton gas fired steam boilers. ZOZEN Boiler conducted comprehensive shot blasting and rust removal on the external surface after the packaging process. We applied a highly corrosion-resistant marine primer, meticulously following the customer's provided color code and thickness specifications.

 

The non-ferrous industry encompasses various sectors such as mining, smelting, refining, and processing of metals like copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, and more. ZOZEN Boiler has made significant contributions to the development of the non-ferrous industry through the expertise in providing reliable and efficient boiler solutions. ZOZEN Boiler demonstrates the ability to offer 21-ton gas fired steam boilers. This collaboration paves the way for Bolivia's lithium industry to leverage its abundant resources, contributing to the country's economic development and sustainable growth.
