Iggesund Paperboard, part of Holmen, will build a new biomass-fuelled CHP (Combined Heat and Power) plant at its Workington mill in Cumbria, UK, as Papernet reported recently. The ÅF assignment includes project management, engineering, procurement, as well as site construction and commissioning management services. The project starts immediately, and commercial operation is scheduled to start in March 2013.The output of the new power plant will be approximately 50 MWe and 80 tons per hour steam, which will be delivered to the adjacent paperboard mill. After completion of the project, all power and steam generated for the mill will be based on renewable biofuels. The fuels will be fresh wood in chips or logs, bark and sawdust.
