The value of the order is approximately €25 million.
"We chose Metso as the supplier because they are able to deliver a solid industrial-scale combined heat and power boiler capable of satisfying our need to supply various types of energy," said Mats-Lennart Karlsson, Project Manager at Vimmerby Energi & Miljö AB. "This is a major investment for us. We hope the project will continue as successfully as it has begun."
The new plant will secure supply of competitive district heating for the city and lower its CO2 emissions. The start-up is scheduled for the end of 2014.
Metso's delivery will include a power plant utilizing bubbling fluidized bed combustion technology. The plant automation will be based on Metso DNA technology and the company will also supply a flue gas condenser. The delivery will also include installation, training and commissioning.
The boiler plant will have a thermal output of 26 MWth and an electrical output of 7 MWe. In addition, the flue gas condenser will produce 4.5 MWth of heat.
The plant will be able to supply the district heating network and local industries with hot water of different temperatures. It will also be able to supply steam to a local brewery. The electricity produced will be distributed to the national grid.
The facility is designed for unmanned operation. The plant will use local forest residues such as bark and wood chips as fuel.
