26 Apr 2011
London – Metso has received a Euro20m order to convert a coal-fired CFB boiler to a biomass-fired boiler for Elektrociep?ownia Tychy SA in southern Poland. The conversion is part of a production capacity reconstruction programme at EC Tychy, a subsidiary of Tauron Group, one of the largest energy companies in Poland.
The EPC delivery scope includes modification works of the current boiler, such as pressure parts, fuel and ash handling equipment and erection, as well as a complete automation system.
The supplied automation system consists of a process automation system, emission monitoring and reporting, as well as instrumentation and electrification retrofit.
The plant will produce 70 MW of heat and 40 MW of electricity to the national grid. The new boiler system will be in operation as from October 2012.
