    The right temperature for a 300-year-old church

    “Steam usually maintains a high pressure and temperature in our assignments, but in the beautiful church of Kättilstad in Östergötland Sweden, the pressure is no higher than under the lid of a kettle on the stove when everything is as it should be. That was the challenge,” says Johan Söderberg at FVB , who has worked on a somewhat unusual project. “For some reason, air collected in the cooler parts of the system and built up a counter pressure back there. The problem had grown slowly over a long time without anyone thinking about it, until the day the system could

    How Ottawa is modernizing its 100-year-old energy system

    In the Canadian capital of Ottawa, the hundred-year-old district heating and district cooling systems need to be renewed. It is an extensive project where FVB is responsible for how the renewal will be implemented in practice. Ottawa is located in the southeast corner of Canada. The weather is characterized by really cold winters and hot summers. This means that in winter there is a great need for heat and in summer there is a great need for cooling. This led to the construction of district heating and district cooling systems a hundred years ago to give the government

    New slurry pit reduces methane emissions

    Tekniska verken in Linköping Sweden, is building a gas-tight slurry pit. This is an important climate measure, as the current open storage emits the powerful greenhouse gas methane. FVB  is involved in several parts of the project, including the feasibility study and project management for part of the process.  Tekniska verken has extensive experience with biogas. As early as 20 years ago, they formed a biogas company – Linköping Biogas – together with Swedish Meat and LRF. At the time, Linköping had poor air quality in the city center due to traffic and the

    FVB Supporting Major Investment in District heating System

    Barkarbystaden is the largest expansion area of the city of Stockholm. A former airport was converted into a modern district here. FVB is responsible for all district heating design. The work also includes moving the current transit line. Barkarbystaden is in Järfälla Municipality, northwest of Stockholm, and the expansion of the new district has been ongoing here for a few years now. A total of 18,000 new homes, 140 neighborhoods, and 10,000 new workplaces are planned here by 2030. The majority of the properties will have district heating. “On behalf of E.ON Värme, we are designing

    Hectic time for FVB in the UK

    FVB in the UK has had a hectic time with the implementation of two major district heating projects. FVB has recently provided design services for the development of a large district heating network that will use residual heat supplied by the SELCHP Energy from Waste plant. The heat network is designed to supply a heating output of up to 30 MW for the supply of heat to both residential and commercial properties in the London Brough of Bermondsey district in southeast London. The project is receiving approximately £5 million of HNIP (Heat Network Investment Project) funding and is a key

    District heating over 50 years, present and future

    “FVB started in 1970, which means that the consulting business has been running for half a century. I myself started working with district heating in 1976, so my professional life with district heating has been almost as long. Such a long period of time gives rise to reflections about the past, present, and future,” says Sven Werner, Professor Emeritus in energy technology at Halmstad University. 1. My first reflection is that district heating technology has been largely intact for five decades. We have used central heat recovery, two pipes, and joint delivery to each building. The
