Kaskisten Energia to produce district heating from biofuels

Kaskisten Energia will produce economical district heating using biofuels

Renewa Oy will supply Kaskisten Energia with a 5 MW boiler plant with process and conveyor equipment. The biofuel boiler plant will be built next to the existing oil heating plant and connected to it. Renewa’s delivery scope includes a biofuel boiler plant, fuel feed and conveyor equipment, a grate boiler with chimneys, process air ventilation and pipe connections to the existing heating plant. The new boiler will burn wood-based Finnish biofuel. In addition, sod peat may also be used.

”Kaskisten Energia used to buy heat from Metsä-Botnia's Kaskinen pulp mill. Now that the mill operations have stopped, we have to build a replacement alternative. Renewa's comprehensive financial proposal for the biofuel boiler plant won in the normal competitive tendering process. Moreover, Renewa has extensive experience with and good references regarding these kinds of plants”, says Jyrki Jussila, Managing Director of Kaskisten Energia – Kaskö Energi.

The boiler plant will be delivered under an expedited timetable so that Kaskisten Energia will be able to supply its customers heat, produced economically from renewable biofuels, already in the next heating season. Plant installation will begin in late summer, operations will start up in early November, and the plant will be handed over to the client in December 2010.
