Commissioning and start-up of the boiler are scheduled for April 2013, as Papernet previously has reported. According to Holmen, the new biofuel boiler will substantially reduce energy costs and boost the Workington paperboard mill’s competitiveness. The boiler will burn wood-based fuels (wood, sawmill chips, bark, and sawdust) and generate steam at the rate of 195 tons per hour.Andritz’ scope of supply includes the boiler island as well as erection work and commissioning. The boiler’s design is based on Andritz’ well-proven Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology, combining high fuel efficiency with excellent environmental performance.
