Other activities

Our techncial team and partners have the capability to build appropriate biomass combustion systems for a specific situation. Each plant is tailor-made since no two situations are alike. Depending on the situation suitable suppliers are selected.

For example, the potential capacity of the installation depends on local availability of biomass and can range from a few hundred kilowatts up to several megawatts thermal and/or electrical power. Suitable biomass includes wood waste, straw, husks, bran, dried manure or other organic solid fuel. 

In each combustion system either hot water or steam is produced. In some cases thermal oil can also be used. The hot water can be used for a variety of cases, for example district heating, heating of greenhouses or drying processes.

Steam can be used to drive a steam turbine and generate electricity. In this case a steam cyclus is added to the installation to convert it into a biomass-fired combined heat and power (BioCHP) plant.

For smaller scale applications (less than 2 MWe) an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) can also be considered.

Flue gasses are cleaned to the most stringent norm required using cyclones, electrostatic filters, gas scrubbers and/or catalytic filters (for deNOX, deSOx and dioxin removal).

Under development is a cleaning system for the production of suitable carbondioxide from the flue gasses. The carbondioxide can then be used in greenhouses.

The BioCHP plant can be combined with a digester system. In this case the biogas can be fed directly into the furnance to generate hot water or steam.
