(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release on January 11, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will supply automation to Scottish and Southern Energy's new Ferrybridge
2 waste-to-energy facility in Knottingley, West Yorkshire, UK. The order was
placed by Hitachi Zosen Inova AG (HZI), the engineering, procurement and
construction contractor for the facility. This is the tenth time that HZI has
chosen Valmet's automation technology for its waste-to-energy plant projects.
With Valmet's advanced automation solutions, the facilities are able to reach
high process availability and extract maximum energy value from the thermal
treatment of the waste.
The order is included in Valmet's fourth quarter 2016 orders received. The value
of the order will not be disclosed. Typically, the order value of automation
system deliveries ranges from below EUR 1 million to EUR 3 million. The delivery
will take place in June 2017, and the system will be handed over to the customer
in July 2019.
"HZI is pleased to continue its cooperation with Valmet, building on our long-
standing relationship and the earlier success of both Ferrybridge 1 and previous
projects," says Douglas Else-Jack, Head of Supply Management at HZI.
"In the past ten years, HZI has repeatedly chosen Valmet's technology. Our team
has had excellent cooperation with HZI, leading to a framework agreement last
August. Also, the end customer, Scottish and Southern Energy, has good
experience with the Valmet DNA automation system at their Ferrybridge 1 plant.
Especially the system's management reporting tools, which make it stand out from
other automation systems on the market, have been really appreciated by the
operators," says Rene Neubert, Sales Director, Automation business line, Valmet.
Ferrybridge 1 and 2 operate with Valmet's automation
The Ferrybridge 2 power plant will be built next door to the recently completed
Ferrybridge 1 power plant that also uses the Valmet DNA system. Using a thermal
waste-to-energy process, the new plant will annually handle around 570,000
tonnes of waste-derived fuel from various sources, such as municipal solid
waste, commercial and industrial waste and waste wood. The plant will produce
enough energy to power around 170,000 homes. With a net energy efficiency of
31%, it will be on a par with its sister plant and also rank among the top
facilities in Europe.
Scottish and Southern Energy's new Ferrybridge 2 waste-to-energy facility in
Knottingley, West Yorkshire, UK, will be run with Valmet's automation
technology. It will enable the facility to reach high process availability and
extract maximum energy value from the thermal treatment of waste.
Details about Valmet's delivery
Valmet's delivery to control the new plant's boiler, flue gas treatment and
balance of plant will include a Valmet DNA automation system, an information
management system, field engineering, commissioning and training.
