Thermax Limited has launched the Thermax-i series, a new range of intelligent boilers and heaters designed to continuously optimise performance based on changing operating conditions. The range was unveiled at Boiler India 2026, being held from October 8 to 10 at the CIDCO Exhibition Centre in Navi Mumbai.
The first product in the series is UltraPac-i, an intelligent biomass-fired boiler that uses real-time operating data to respond to changes in fuel characteristics, ambient conditions and process demand. The system can automatically take corrective action to maintain performance and improve boiler efficiency.
UltraPac-i is powered by EDGE Control, Thermax’s proprietary physics-enhanced, data-driven control technology. The technology combines the company’s expertise in combustion and boiler systems with advanced analytics and intelligent controls. Pilot installations of UltraPac-i have demonstrated fuel savings of up to 10%, which can help industries reduce operating costs and associated carbon emissions. The new approach moves boiler operations from a reactive model to a proactive one. This is particularly relevant for biomass-fired systems, where fuel characteristics can vary and affect combustion and boiler performance.
UltraPac-i is being displayed at the Thermax booth during Boiler India 2026. The company said the Thermax-i series will initially focus on boilers and heaters and will be expanded to other products in its portfolio.EDGE Control can also be offered as a retrofit solution for suitable existing boilers and other equipment. This allows customers to introduce intelligent control and optimisation capabilities to existing assets without replacing the equipment.
“For six decades, Thermax has worked to improve how industries generate and use heat. Our intelligent series of boilers represents the next evolution of that journey — combining our understanding of combustion and boilers with advanced analytics and intelligent control. The ability of a boiler to anticipate changing conditions and optimise itself can create significant value, particularly with fuels such as biomass. It is a revolutionary breakthrough and an exciting step forward for Thermax and our customers. We are starting Thermax-i series with boilers and heaters and will progressively extend these intelligent capabilities across our wider portfolio,” said Ashish Bhandari, Managing Director & CEO, Thermax Limited.
