Under the contract, valued at around SEK17m, Opcon will supply kiln, hot water boiler, handling equipment plus advanced flue gas condensation and cleaning to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions of particles and other substances.
The delivery of the equipment for the expansion will be carried out next year.
The 8MW expansion at the plant will be equipped, like the existing installation, with Opcon’s flue gas condensation solution at around 2MW.
Upon completion, bioenergy capacity at Uddetorp plant will double from the last year level of around 45GWh produced from around 55,000 cubic meters of wood chips.
Flue gas condensation provides improved energy efficiency of up to 25% by recycling large amounts of the waste heat that is normally emitted through the chimney while cleaning the flue gases at the same time.
Opcon Bioenergy is a subsidiary of Opcon AB, the energy and environmental technology Group.
