Metso will supply Vimmerby Energi & Miljö AB (VEMAB) with a
biomass-fired power plant for combined heat and power production at
Tallholmen in the city of Vimmerby, Sweden. The new plant will secure
supply of competitive district heating for the city and lower its CO2
emissions. The start-up of the plant is scheduled for the end of 2014.
The value of the order is approximately EUR 25 million.
Metso’s delivery will include a power plant utilizing bubbling fluidized
bed combustion technology. The plant automation will be based on Metso
DNA technology and Metso will also supply a flue gas condenser. The
delivery will also include installation, training and commissioning.
The boiler plant will have a thermal output of 26 MWth and an electrical
output of 7 MWe. In addition, the flue gas condenser will produce 4.5
MWth of heat. The plant will be able to supply the district heating
network and local industries with hot water of different temperatures.
It will also be able to supply steam to a local brewery. The electricity
produced will be distributed to the national grid. The plant is
designed for unmanned operation. The plant will use local forest
residues such as bark and wood chips as fuel.
“We chose Metso as the supplier because they are able to deliver a solid
industrial-scale combined heat and power boiler capable of satisfying
our need to supply various types of energy. This is a major investment
for us. We hope the project will continue as successfully as it has
begun and that the CHP plant will be ready to supply heat and
electricity during fall 2014,” says Mats-Lennart Karlsson, Project
Manager at Vimmerby Energi & Miljö AB.
“We highly value the confidence VEMAB has shown us by awarding us this
order. The project has been started successfully and in good cooperation
with VEMAB. This is a very important order for us and we are confident
that the plant will meet all the client’s expectations,” says Sales
