Valmet Oyj's press release on June 23, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Valmet has signed an agreement with Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S to supply
automation technology for the new Dunbar energy recovery facility (EFR) in East
Lothian, Scotland, UK. Advanced automation solutions will make it possible to
efficiently control the renewable energy recovery process and to manage plant
operations. Valmet's delivery is scheduled for March 2017.
The order is included in Valmet's second quarter 2016 orders received. The value
of the order is not disclosed. Typically the order value of automation system
deliveries ranges from below EUR one million to EUR three million.
"This is the second project that Babcock & Wilcox Vølund has ordered from
Valmet. Our earlier delivery for the Peterborough waste-to-energy plant was
successfully delivered and started up in 2015," says Neil Buckland, Sales
Director, UK, Automation, Valmet.
Treating 300,000 tons of waste per year
Once in operation in late 2017, the Dunbar ERF will have a capacity to treat
approximately 300,000 tons of waste per year. It will generate 30 megawatts (MW)
of base-load renewable energy directly to the grid, enough to continuously power
39,000 homes. Additionally, the plant will offer up to 10 MW of heat for local
use.
The plant investment is in line with the Scottish Government's ambition to
deliver zero waste, encourage waste reduction, boost recycling and recover vital
renewable energy.
Babcock & Wilcox Vølund provides the technology for the Dunbar EFR and is
responsible for its engineering, procurement and construction. The plant will be
operated and maintained by Viridor, one of Europe's major waste management
companies.
Valmet will supply automation technology for the new Dunbar energy recovery
facility (EFR) in East Lothian, Scotland, UK. The Valmet DNA automation system
is already installed in 60 to 70% of UK's energy-from-waste plants.
