Peterson Packaging to install new biofuel boilers
Peterson Packaging is preparing to switch from oil and gas to biofuels.
The two boilers will have a capacity of 15 MW each. The first line should start up in autumn 2016 and the second approximately six months later, according to Peterson Packaging CEO Even Ketil Stave.
The co-incineration boilers will mainly run on recovered wood predominantly sourced in Norway but they can also use refuse-derived fuel. The first boiler will need some 40 000-42 000 tonnes/yr of raw material, including some 5 000-7 000 tonnes/yr of recovered paper residues from the mill's deinking line. The second line will require another 25 000-30 000 tonnes/yr of recovered wood, according to Stave.
The two new boilers will cover all of the mill's steam requirements.
