[background=rgb(0, 128, 1) !important]23/09/2013[/background] Finnish company Metso is to supply a biomass-fired combined heat and power plant for Oskarshamn Energi in Sweden. The plant in the municipality of Oskarshamn will have a thermal output of 17.2MW for district heating, a process steam output of 4MW to local industry and an electrical output of 3.8MW. The project, which will use local forest residues such as bark and wood chips as fuel, is scheduled to go live in winter 2015 and the value of the contract has not been disclosed. “There is great interest in district heating and our customer base since 2007 has grown far beyond our expectations,” said Oskarshamn Energi managing director Jöns Wahlström. “This has meant that production has increased by 50% and that is one of the reasons that we now invest in a new power plant. When the new plant is commissioned almost 99% of district heating at Oskarshamn will be produced with renewable biofuels.” Metso will install patented BioGrate combustion technology and be responsible for training and commissioning. The plant automation will be based on Metso’s DNA technology and the company will also supply a flue gas condenser and ventilation system. “Metso has been working with Oskarshamn Energi for several years to find an optimal solution for their increasing demand to supply district heating,” said Metso sales director for power Mikael Barkar. Oskarshamn Energi is owned equally by Oskarshamn Municipality and Eon Sweden AB. Image: the plant will use wood chip and bark as fuel (Metso) Continue reading →
