Germany-based Standardkessel Baumgarte GmbH (SBG), a subsidiary of Japan-headed JFE Engineering Corporation (JFEE) has announced that it has recently been awarded a contract by E-Wood Energiecentrale NV (E-Wood) for the delivery, construction, and commissioning of a biomass cogeneration plant to be built in the Port of Antwerp.
E-Wood Energiecentrale NV is a joint-venture between Indaver NV, a European partner in the field of sustainable waste management, and SUEZ Group, a world leader in the field of intelligent and sustainable resource management.
E-Wood will build and operate the new biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plant that will be sited adjacent to the Antwerp container port. The joint owners, SUEZ and Indaver, already operate three waste incineration lines there, the steam generators of which were supplied by SBG in 2006.
The new E-Wood plant will use around 180 000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste wood annually. It will have an electrical output of 20 MWe and will also produce high-pressure steam which will be fed into the ECLUSE plant steam network at Waasland harbour.
A stationary fluidized bed (FB) will be used as the firing system, which SBG says, has “decisive advantages” in terms of the emissions to be complied with.
