Contract for green energy production in Scotland
Aker Kvaerner has secured a contract for turnkey delivery of a biofuel-fired power station in Scotland, as a partner in a consortium with Siemens
Kvaerner Power is to deliver a power boiler using bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology to a power plant at the UPM Rauma paper mill on the west coast of Finland.
The power plant will be built by the new company Rauman Voima Oy which is owned by Pohjolan Voima Oy and Rauman Energia Oy.
UPM is a substantial shareholder of Pohjolan Voima.
The new power plant will produce electricity, steam for the paper mill and district heat for Rauma city.
The boiler supplied by Kvaerner Power has a thermal capacity of 107 megawatt (MW) and it will burn bark, forest residue, peat, sludge and small amount of recycled fuel.
The modern BFB technology fulfils the co-combustion emission requirements and the use of biofuels reduces the CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.
The boiler will be ready at the end of 2006 and it will operate in parallel with a 160 MWth circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler delivered by Kvaerner Power in 1996.
The new boiler will replace a coal-fired boiler from the 1960's, which was also supplied by Kvaerner Power.
UPM and Pohjolan Voima have chosen Kvaerner Power as its technology provider several times during the last years and Kvaerner Power has supplied fluidized bed boilers which range from 70 to 550 MWth including the world's largest biofuel-fired BFB and CFB boilers.
Kvaerner Power BFB technology for demanding biofuels: Kvaerner Power is a forerunner and an expert in bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boilers for power generation from biomass and recycled fuel with steam capacity ranging from 20 to 300 MWth.
Kvaerner Power HYBEX boilers using BFB technology, are suitable for wide range of fuel moisture from thermally dried bark to high moisture forest residue.
