Hämeenkyrön Voima Oy, Finland, has ordered from Andritz, Austria, an 80 MWth fluidized bed steam boiler for its power plant in Hämeenkyrö, Finland. The main fuel for the new boiler will be wood-based biomass and milled peat as additional fuel. The project investors are M-real, Pohjolan Voima, and Leppäkosken Sähkö. Startup of the boiler is scheduled for the autumn of 2012.
The scope of supply includes the boiler island from the fuel bin to the stack outlet, as well as erection work and commissioning. The boiler will be based on Andritz's bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology combining high fuel efficiency with excellent environmental performance. After completion, consumption of natural gas will be significantly reduced and replaced by biomass fuels.
The investment will be part of the combined heat and power plant modernization at M-real's Kyro mill to generate electrical power and to produce process steam for the mill and district heat for the nearby communities.
