Saxlund to deliver to new biomass CHP in Wiesbaden
Saxlund International GmbH, a fully-owned subsidiary of Opcon AB, the energy and environmental technology Group, has been given responsibility for delivery of state-of-the-art recycled wood handling for the new combined heat and power plant that will be built by ESWE BioEnergie GmbH in Wiesbaden, Germany. The delivery includes push-floors, conveyors and magnetic separators to separate metal for additional recycling. All designed for efficiency, minimum maintenance and high availability as well as low emission of dust and noise.
Total order value is around SEK 12 million with delivery in 2012/2013 and commissioning in April 2013.
The 43 MW biomass-fueled CHP in Wiesbaden is expected to provide green electricity and heat to around 12,000 single family homes previously supplied with fossil fuels. As such ESWE expects it to contribute to achieving a fifth of Wiesbaden’s climate targets for 2020.
- We are very happy to be part of Wiesbaden’s road for increasing its use of renewable energy. With Saxlund’s state-of-the-art equipment and Saxlund’s more than 50 years of experience in delivering biomass handling systems we are instrumental in ensuring high availability and efficiency for our customers, says Christoph Groffmann, Managing Director of Saxlund International GmbH.
Saxlund International GmbH is part of Opcon’s Waste to Value initiative with a special focus on Waste Heat Recovery and bioenergy. Within the bioenergy sector, Opcon offers everything from the design of complete combined heat and power (CHP) plants to handling systems and incineration plants under the Saxlund brand.
