Valmet: Complete boiler plant to Hamburger Hungaria

Valmet will supply a complete boiler plant to Hamburger Hungaria Power in Dunaujvaros, Hungary in order to provide more sustainable energy production by enabling the use of renewable resources. The value of the order is about EUR 50 million.

 

 

The new power plant will produce electricity and steam for Hamburger Hungaria's containerboard mill that operates two paper machines. It will replace the existing gas-fired boiler plant that produces steam only, and enable Hamburger Hungaria Power to use a wide range of solid fuels, biomass, coal as well as containerboard rejects and sludge, in energy production instead of natural gas. The new boiler plant will go on stream by the end of 2015.

Valmet's delivery will include a complete boiler plant including a CYMIC boiler based on circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology and flue gas cleaning to ensure low emissions. The boiler will have a capacity of 158 megawatts (MW) of steam at 113 bar, 520 C°. The power plant will produce 42 MW of electricity. Valmet's CYMIC boiler combines high-efficiency combustion of various solid fuels with low emissions, even when burning fuels with completely different calorific values at the same time.
