Aker Kvaerner supplies Energy-from-Waste boiler plant to Borås in Sweden
The boilers, fired with household and industrial waste, recycled wood and biofuels, will produce superheated steam for generating electricity and district heat. The boilers are designed for optimum efficiency, minimum emissions and high availability.
The ash handling system of the boiler plant is designed to meet the future EU requirements of various types of ash. The flue gas cleaning system is based on modern, environmentally friendly technology. The entire plant is designed to handle several types of waste streams. Modern combustion technology minimizes and ensures, in combination with effective and efficient ash handling and dry flue gas cleaning, a cost-effective and environmentally friendly plant that meets the environmental requirements of the EU and the national legislation.
The project will be executed by Aker Kvaerner's Power Division. The Division is responsible for the design, engineering, manufacturing, erection, commissioning and training. The plant will start-up in the early part of 2005.
