Metso’s scope of delivery includes foundations and building work, necessary production equipment, a Metso DNA automation system, and electrification.
The delivery involves a demonstration plant, in which bio-oil is produced from forest residue and other biomasses.
The plant will utilize 225,000 solid cubic meters of forest residue and sawdust a year.
The biomass plant’s nominal output will be 30MW oil production and the planned annual production will be 50,000 tons.
The annual production will equal to 210GWh of energy, which corresponds to the yearly heating consumption of about 10,000 private houses.
The new bio-oil production plant is scheduled for start-up in late 2013.
