WARTSILA EXPLORING BIO-MASS POWER PLANT MARKET IN EUROPE
Wartsila is exploring investment opportunities for power plants fueled by Bio-Mass energy. Europe aiming to develop to increase share of renewable energy resources to 20% by the year 2020. The power generation by bio-mass expected to play an important role in achieving this target. The soft and hard wood is the main fuel burnt. Fuel consumption varies with the type of wood used and the contents of moisture inside. At worst the fuel of up to 55-65% of moisture can be expected. Other fuels such as bye products of olive and sugarcane are also in development stage. Wartsila is exploring the market potentials for the kind of agricultural bye products available on the locations where the project will be installed Wartsila so far commissioned more than 100 boiler power plants based on its bio-grate technology. The current marketing focus is in Canada Russia and Europe These plants are ideal choice for Europe where more emphasis is on developing renewable energy resources. The plants are delivering power to National Grid. Wartsila claims that its bio-grate technology minimizes emissions of Nitrogen Oxides and Carbon mono oxides. The plants are modular in shapes therefore minimizes local fabrication work as well can require lesser space. Bio-Mass/waste-to-energy has been recognized as a clean, reliable, renewable source of energy for more than 20 years. In Pakistan now AEDB working hard to introduce power plants based on waste collected in major cities. Various technologies are used for heat recovery which includes anaerobic reactors and digestion process, incineration, combustion or gasification, or using RDF as fuel for cogeneration. some examples of potential fuel are Municipal solid waste, Municipal waste water, Industrial effluent, Industrial waste or bye products, Crop and Crop residues Bagasse and wood waste etc.
ANOTHER WÄRTSILÄ BIOPOWER PLANT IN THE ARDENNES, BELGIUM Wärtsilä Corporation was awarded a contract by the Belgian independent power producer Renogen S.A. in March 2007 to supply a second biomass-fuelled combined heat and power plant in the municipality of Amel in the Ardennes, the first “sustainable industrial area” in the southern part of Belgium. The new plant will have a net electrical power
output of 3.29 MWe, and a thermal output of up
to 10 MWth for district heating. The electrical output in condensing operation
is 5.3 MWe.
Wartsila will deliver under this contract a BioPower 5CEX plant which will burn
non-contaminated wood residues supplied by the local forestry industry. Wärtsilä
will deliver the complete plant under an equipment procurement contract (EPC).
There is also a full O&M contract to cover operation and maintenance after the
plant is commissioned.
Due for delivery in July 2008, the new plant is a duplicate of the existing
BioPower plant installed by Wartsila. Both plants will deliver hot water to
local industrial businesses with the electricity generated being fed to the
local grid. The two plants will be eligible to carbon emission credits (so
called “green certificates”) applicable in Belgian Wallonia.
The new Bio-Power plant, is based on the same well-proven modular concept as the
earlier plant. “Wärtsilä’s modular approach brings several benefits to us” says
Mr Yves Crits, CEO of Renogen S.A. “The site work is minimized and delivery time
is short, in addition the plant can grow with the growth of heat demand on the
industrial estate” he continues.
The modular approach also means consistent quality owing to the factory assembly
of modules and compact, but well-considered layout arrangements requiring less
floor area for the power plant building. This proven technology results in a
reliable, durable plant. The plants are also highly automated, enabling unmanned
operation.
