Valmet has announced that it will supply a biomass boiler to Greenalia's new Curtis-Teixeiro biomass power plant in La Coruña, north-west Spain. The order was placed by ACCIONA Industrial and IMASA, the EPC contractors for the plant.
To produce energy, the plant will use forest biomass, mainly eucalyptus and pine wood. The project will contribute to the maintenance of forests in the area and the prevention of fires, encouraging the collection of small-sized wood waste that is normally discarded for industrial use. Takeover is scheduled for January 2020.
Valmet's delivery consists of a biomass-fired HYBEX power boiler plant featuring bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology. The thermal power capacity of the boiler is 130 MW, while the electricity capacity of the plant is 50 MW. The delivery also includes auxiliary equipment and supporting structures.
