Finland-headed forest industry and energy technology major Valmet Oyj has announced that it has signed a contract to deliver a waste-to-energy (WtE) boiler including flue gas cleaning and automation equipment to a greenfield project in Vietnam.
Valmet will supply its technology to Thang Long Energy Environment JSC’s greenfield waste-to-energy (WtE) plant in Bac Ninh province, Vietnam. Established in 2017, the company’s core business engages in waste treatment activities in Vietnam, particularly in municipal solid waste (MSW) projects.
A Valmet Flue Gas Cleaning system and a Valmet DNA Distributed Control System (DCS) are also included in the delivery. The plant will use refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and the investment aims to support a clean and green economy and protect Bac Ninh province’s environment through more sustainable energy production.
This is Valmet’s first circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler delivery to the growing Southeast Asian waste-to-energy market. The installation work is scheduled to start in 2023, and the plant will commence commercial operation at the end of 2023.
The value of an order of this type is around EUR 20–30 million.
We are proud to take this step in Southeast Asia for more sustainable growth and high-efficiency energy conversion from waste. The solution will enable significant reductions of CO2 emissions and promote the circular economy, said Jouko Latva-Somppi, Director, Heat and Power Plants, Valmet.
Valmet’s delivery will consist of a Valmet Recyc Boiler using circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology. The CFB boiler will burn RDF mainly from municipal and partly from industrial waste to produce steam for a turbine generator. The electricity generated (10 MWe) will be supplied to Vietnam’s power distribution grid.
The Valmet Flue Gas Cleaning system will provide optimal environmental performance to meet the strictest emission limits. The advanced Valmet DNA Distributed Control System will cover all the control at the boiler plant.
TTCL Vietnam Corporation Ltd (TVC), a subsidiary of TTCL Public Company Ltd (TTCL), an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) Contractor in Thailand, is the EPC contractor in this project.
TVC has experience and expertise in integrated EPC of turnkey projects for industrial and process plants.
