Industrial Biomass Briquette Fuel Conversion – Kambaa Tea Factory

Konex Kenya Limited undertook a comprehensive biomass transition project for Kambaa Tea Factory, aimed at reducing dependence on furnace oil and lowering operational expenses.
Our team performed detailed combustion analysis, steam demand profiling, ash content evaluation, and boiler compatibility testing.
We supplied high-density non-carbonized briquettes and provided on-site calibration to optimize burn rate, thermal efficiency, and fuel feeding systems.

The project also included energy performance training for boiler operators, safety briefings, emissions monitoring, and periodic fuel quality checks.
Within the first 90 days, the factory recorded a 32% reduction in fuel costs, improved consistency in steam generation, and a significant reduction in harmful emissions.
This project has become a reference model for sustainable energy adoption in Kenya’s tea sector.
