Valmet to supply a biomass-fired boiler plant to Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill in Russia
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release on July 4, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will deliver a biomass-fired boiler plant and related automation and
environmental systems to Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill (Segezha PPM) in the
Republic of Karelia, Russia. The boiler will produce steam for the mill's
production processes and enables the mill to use wood residues and sludge as
fuel and thus reduce the use of heavy fuel oil and lower its emissions and
environmental impact. Valmet's delivery is scheduled for 2017.
The order is included in Valmet's second quarter 2016 orders received. The value
of the order is not disclosed.
"We selected Valmet's multi-fuel boiler after comparing a number of supplier
offers. We took into account the reliability of the equipment and its operation,
and the price/quality ratio. The decisive criteria that determined our decision
were the technological factors and successful boiler references in numbers of
industry enterprises. We see that a modern multi-fuel boiler can efficiently
burn waste from wood processing with high and variable humidity, as well as
sludge from our effluent treatment," comments Sergei Pondar, Vice President of
Production for Segezha Group.
The new order strengthens Valmet's position as the leading supplier of bubbling
fluidized bed (BFB) boilers with electrostatic precipitator based flue gas
cleaning on the Russian market. This is the third boiler delivery featuring
Valmet's bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology to Russia in the past three
years.
"Over decades Valmet has delivered numerous biomass-fired boilers as well as
chemical recovery boilers to Russia. We have an established supplier network in
Russia and significant part of the delivery for Segezha will be manufactured in
Russia. We look forward to delivering our competitive technology to Russia's
market also in the future," remarks Nikolay Doroshenko, Director of Energy Sales
and Services Operations, Russia and CIS, Valmet.
Technical information about Valmet's delivery
Valmet's delivery includes a 90 MW HYBEX boiler utilizing BFB combustion
technology, Valmet electrostatic precipitator based flue gas cleaning equipment,
electrification and a Valmet DNA automation system to control and operate the
plant.
The HYBEX boiler developed by Valmet features wide fuel flexibility, high
combustion efficiency, high reliability, excellent controllability and low
emissions. Its main advantage is the possibility to use fuels with high moisture
content and a low thermal value.
