Valmet will supply a biomass-fired boiler plant to Elenia Lämpö Oy's Vanaja power plant in Hämeenlinna, Finland. The investment will enable the company to raise the share of renewable fuels used in the city's district heat production to over 80% and increase the energy efficiency of its heat production.
The order is included in Valmet's fourth quarter 2018 orders received. The value of the order is not disclosed. Assembly work on the new boiler plant will start in the fall of 2019. The target is to start up the plant in 2020.
The boiler plant will mainly run on wood-based fuels, such as forest residues as well as sawdust and bark originating from side streams of the woodworking industry.
Valmet will deliver a 35 MWth HYBEX boiler plant that utilizes bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology and features very high efficiency. Additionally, the delivery includes an electrostatic precipitator and a flue gas condenser that increases heat capacity by 10 MW.
