Opcon to deliver fuel-handling and biomass combustion technology to Hilmer Andersson sawmill in Korterud, Sweden

Jul 09, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Energy and environmental technology group Opcon has won a major bioenergy contract for Saxlund’s fuel handling and biomass combustion technology for the privately owned sawmill Hilmer Andersson, HAL in Korterud, Sweden. Order value amounts to around SEK 28 million ($4 million) with commissioning in 2015, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Delivery includes Saxlund’s robust fuel handling systems and leading combustion technology in combination with a hot-water boiler of 12 MW. Saxlund will deliver everything from fuel storage to chimney stack while the customer is responsible for all civil works. The plant will deliver hot water to the timber kilns from the combustion of rest products like sawdust, chips and bark.

“This is an important order for us at Saxlund and evidence to our standing as a quality supplier to demanding sawmill customers both in Sweden and abroad. We see signs of rising demand for modern bioenergy combustion plants that can deal with the combustion of difficult and different wooden materials with good performance and availability,” says Stefan Wallerman, managing director of Saxlund Bioenergy AB.
