International technology group Andritz has received an order from Fortum V&auml;rme to supply a circulating fluidized bed boiler for the new V&auml;rtaverket combined heat and power plant in Stockholm, Sweden. The biomass boiler plant will be one of the largest of its kind worldwide. Start-up is scheduled for the third quarter of 2015.
The order includes the supply of a PowerFluid fluidized bed boiler with useful heat output of 330 MW, a flue gas cleaning plant, as well as the electrical and control systems. With the new plant from Andritz Energy &amp; Environment, which will cover the rising demand for district heating in Stockholm, fossil-based fuels like coal and oil can be replaced largely with eco-friendly biomass. When the biomass boiler plant is started up, the proportion of renewable fuels used at the V&auml;rtaverket power station will increase from 45 percent to 70 percent.
The heating generated in the new V&auml;rtaverket combined heat and power plant will be equivalent to the demand from a total of 190,000 households. Current investments by Fortum V&auml;rme make a substantial contribution towards placing Stockholm among the leading capital cities worldwide in terms of air quality. Fortum V&auml;rme&rsquo;s goal is to supply Stockholm entirely with climate-neutral heat by 2030.
