Renewa supplies 20 MW steam boiler plant to Harjavalta

Renewa Oy and Suomen Teollisuuden Energiapalvelut – STEP Oy and have signed an agreement on a 20 MW steam boiler plant to Harjavalta Industrial Park. The new boiler plant is part of a larger project ensuring future energy supplies for industrial operations at the site. It will support a planned biomass power plant and provide additional capacity for periods of peak demand.

The new boiler plant will produce steam at a rate of 25 tonnes per hour using technology that complies with current and future EU directives on emissions. This heavy fuel oil-fired plant will be equipped with a low-NOx oil burner and efficient flue gas cleaning systems.

The new boiler plant will be installed next to the existing power plant. Manufacturing has already been started at the Renewa and installation work is due to begin on site in August. The boiler plant will be commissioned in December 2011.

Part of Pori Energia, Suomen Teollisuuden Energiapalvelut – STEP Oy  is responsible for providing energy services to customers operating in the Harjavalta Industrial Park. STEP supplies on-site industrial customers with steam and process heating recovered from industrial processes and generated at the power plant, and also provides district heating to the nearby town of Harjavalta. The total output of its operations is more than 600 GWh per year.

Renewa has already collaborated for several years with STEP and Pori Energia, providing larger scale power plant maintenance work – initially at Aittaluoto in Pori and subsequently also at Harjavalta in boiler renovation and other projects.
