Helsinki, Finland, Nov 30, 2007 - (Hugin via ABN Newswire) - Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 30 November 2007
Wärtsilä Corporation was awarded a contract by Less & Timber, Czech Republic in November 2007 to supply a biomass-fuelled combined heat and power plant for the company's sawmill in Caslav, around 100 km east of Prague. This is the first biomass power plant Wärtsilä will deliver to Czech Republic.
The new plant will burn residue in the form of bark and wood chips from the sawmill and have a net electrical power output of 4.3 MWe, and a thermal output of up to 10 MWth. The electricity will be sold to the national grid and the heat will be used for drying in the sawmill.
The plant is due to be handed over in October 2009. Wärtsilä's good reputation and references were the main reasons Less & Timber chose a Wärtsilä BioPower plant.
Wärtsilä's biomass-fuelled plants are clean and efficient. They are practical solutions for meeting needs for renewable energy supplies with minimum environmental impact. The moisture content of the fuel can be as high as 55%.
Wärtsilä BioPower plants are highly modular, being based on well-proven standardised components with a conservative design approach. The plants can thus be delivered and installed quickly. Their proven technology results in a reliable, durable plant. They are also highly automated.
