Stora Enso Wood Products Ltd. and KPA Unicon have signed a contract of a biomass-fired hot water boiler plant delivery to Stora Enso sawmill in Honkalahti, Finland. The output of the new Unicon Biograte boiler plant will be 17.7 MWth, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
The new boiler plant will
utilize bark and other wood residues from the Honkalahti sawmill as fuel, and
it will produce hot water to the sawmill´s drying kilns. The new biomass boiler
plant is scheduled to be in operation in August 2017.
This is a turnkey delivery excluding civil and
foundation works. The contract includes all process equipment, installations,
commissioning and training of the operational personnel. The heart of the new
biomass-fired boiler plant is Biograte combustion technology, which is
especially designed for utilization of wet biomass fuels for effective energy
production.
The contract includes KPA Unicon`s PlantSys
system for local and remote control of the plant. PlantSys collects data from
the process equipment and makes operation of the plant easy and reliable.
The parties have also signed a three year service agreement. The service agreement facilitates forecasting of service and maintenance work at the plant.
