Valmet has received an order from Biomasse Energie d’Alizay to convert a recovery boiler into a biomass boiler utilizing bubbling fluidized bed combustion technology (BFB) at DA Alizay mill in France. Biomasse Energie d’Alizay will start producing steam and electricity from biomass at the existing power plant.
The order is included in Valmet’s first quarter of 2019 orders received. Typically, the value of this kind of order is EUR 20 million. Valmet’s delivery is scheduled for 2020.
“Valmet is the leader in BFB conversion with more than 60 references over the past 30 years, including boilers initially manufactured by third parties. It is very efficient and cost-saving way to modernize and prolong the lifetime of high-capex plants to serve the customers’ future needs,” says Jouko Kylänpää, Director, Rebuilds and Conversions, Pulp and Energy business line, Valmet.
