(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on January 19, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. local time
Metso will supply Mälarenergi's combined heat and power plant (CHP) in Västerås,
Sweden, with the world's largest recovered fuel fired boiler. The new boiler
with a fuel input of 167 MW will utilize circulating fluidized bed (CFB)
technology and it
will serve as a base unit to meet the disctrict heating power needs of Västerås
and Hallstahammar municipalities. Metso's delivery will account for about 30 per
cent of the approximately EUR 300 million modernization project of the CHP
plant.
The modernization is a significant investment for the city of Västerås as the
existing CHP plant is in need of a comprehensive upgrade.The principal fuel for
the new boiler will be recovered fuel prepared from municipal waste, and the new
boiler also has possibility to burn biofuel. Compared with current boilers, the
new system will give the plant a more flexible fuel mix.
"The modernization is an important investment for Mälarenergi and the city of
Västerås, as well as for our customers," says Kenneth Jönsson, President,
Mälarenergi AB. "The investment will give us a greater fuel mix flexibility. We
chose Metso because they fulfilled our requirements regarding price, technology,
availability and experience."
The modernized CHP plant will be commissioned in the middle of 2014. The order
is included in Pulp, Paper and Power's first quarter 2012 orders received.
Mälarenergi is owned by the city of Västerås and provides electricity, district
heating and cooling with related services to customers in Västerås Municipality
as well as in surrounding regions. The company also sells electricity to private
and corporate customers throughout Sweden. Mälarenergi has about 570 employees
and net sales of about EUR 340 million.
