Aug 12, 2015
The delivery included the boiler, flue-gas cleaning and fuel handling systems. For the customer, centralizing the process equipment required for biomass handling with the same supplier reduces the likelihood of delays during construction and ensures that all equipment is seamlessly compatible.
One of the biggest biomass power plants in Central Europe, with a full-scope solution for biomass processing, delivered to Dalkia in October 2010. The combined heat and power plant in Facture, southwest France uses mainly bark and forest residues as fuel to produce 50 megawatts of electricity for the national grid and 74 megawatts of process steam for Smurfit Kappa’s paper mill.
