OUTOTEC OYJ PRESS RELEASE MARCH 23, 2015 at 11:00 AM
Outotec to deliver technology and operation & maintenance services for a waste-
to-energy plant in the UK
Outotec has agreed with M&W High Tech Projects UK Limited for the delivery of
technology for a new waste to energy plant to be built near Lanark in Scotland
for Levenseat Renewable Energy Limited. In addition, Outotec has signed a
twelve-year operation and maintenance contract for the plant with the end
customer. The total value of the orders is approximately EUR 60 million, of
which EUR 30 million has been booked in Outotec's 2015 first quarter order
intake.
Outotec's scope of delivery covers the engineering and delivery of the main
process equipment for a 12.5 MWe waste-to-energy plant based on fluidized bed
technology. The plant will use refused derived fuel (RDF), mainly consisting of
recycled plastics and sorted waste as raw materials. Once fully operational in
mid-2017, the plant is designed to export over 75 GWh of electricity and 30 GWh
heat per year that is equivalent to the electricity needs of nearly 18,000
homes. The project is also expected to divert over 1.4 million tonnes of waste
from landfill.
Outotec also provides comprehensive operation and maintenance services for the
entire waste-to-energy plant. Approximately 20 Outotec employees will be working
in operation and maintenance at the site.
"We are extremely pleased to be involved in this renewable energy project in
Scotland. Our expertise in the waste-to-energy sector was strengthened through
the acquisition of Energy Products of Idaho at the end of 2011. Besides
sustainable technology, this order represents Outotec's life-cycle oriented
approach. Through Outotec's long-term care of the plant, the customer will get
the best return on their investment", says Robin Lindahl, President of Metals,
Energy & Water business area at Outotec.
