BMH Technology has signed a contract with Navigator Pulp Setubal for the delivery and installation of a wood fines handling system in Portugal to convert one of the gas burning kilns into biomass.
The main driver for the project is to reduce the consumption of natural gas which is a major source of emissions and represents a significant portion of production costs. The project aims to convert the normal operation of the existing Lime Kiln 1, making it entirely independent from fossil fuels. This solution aims to eventually make the lime kiln operation 100% fossil free.
The delivery includes the design, manufacture, erection and commissioning of an external fuel handling system for wood fines biomass. The system consists of receiving station, storage silo, grinding mill and pneumatic piping to feed the powder silo.
The system will be delivered and installed in 2024 and the facility will be taken over in 2025.
The Navigator Company is the leading European manufacturer of uncoated printing and writing paper and bleached eucalyptus pulp.
BMH Technology is one of the global leaders in sustainable solid biofuel handling and waste refining systems.
