Valmet to supply a flue gas desulphurization plant to CIECH Soda Polska in Poland
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Corporation's press release on January 26, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet has signed a contract with CIECH Soda Polska S.A. for the supply of a
flue gas desulphurization plant (FGD) to Soda Polska's Janikowo combined heat
and power (CHP) plant in Poland. This is the second order of a FGD plant from
CIECH Soda Polska. In August 2015, Valmet signed a contract for a similar plant
for the Inowroclaw CHP plant including a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
plant.
The order is included in Valmet's fourth quarter 2015 orders received. The value
of the order is around EUR 20 million.
"This investment will extend the lifetime of the Janikowo CHP plant and help us
in complying with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) by decreasing our
sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) and dust emissions," says Marcin Malek, Director of
Investments at CIECH Soda Polska.

Technical information about the delivery
The Janikowo CHP plant provides energy to the Janikowo Chemical Plant, owned by
the Polish CIECH group. The CHP plant is in the national transition plan in
Poland for compliance with the IED and will have to comply with tight annual
emission ceilings for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust starting in 2017.
Valmet's delivery includes a wet limestone based flue gas desulphurization (FGD)
plant to remove SO(2) from the flue gases of two existing coal fired steam
boilers, each with 140 tonnes per hour steam capacity. The FGD is planned to be
in commercial operation in September 2017.
"The advantage of our FGD technology is the use of low cost limestone sorbent in
the sulphur removal process and the production of gypsum as an end product.
Gypsum itself can be used in a wide variety of applications in the building
industry. In Janikowo there is an additional benefit, as it will also be
possible to use the end-product of the existing semi-dry FGD as zero cost
sorbent," says Frank Ligthart, Sales Director at Valmet.
