Växjö Energi to Install Andritz Biomass Boiler in Sweden

The regional Swedish utility Växjö Energi AB has ordered from Andritz, Graz, Austria, a biomass power boiler island that will be part of a new combined heat and power plant. The plant will supply heat and power for the Växjö community in the province of Småland in southern Sweden and is scheduled to startup at the end of 2014.

The scope of supply includes the boiler island from the inlet to the fuel silos to the boiler outlet, based on the Andritz, bubbling fluidized bed design that combines high efficiency with excellent environmental performance. The boiler will burn wood-based biomass (forest residue, bark, sawdust, and wood chips) to generate steam at the rate of 155 metric tons/hr, with steam parameters of 540 °C and 140 bar(a).
