Case: Heizkraftwerk Zwickau Süd
GmbH & Co. KG
Start-up December 2012
Modularized Biopower 5 power
plant as turnkey delivery
Fuel: Biomass and landscaping
material
Capacity:
– Max. 10 megawatts of district heating
for the city of Zwickau
– Max. 5 megawatts of electricity for the Customer: “Through this
national grid investment, we will not only secure
the production of district heat for
our town but will also reduce our
dependence on ever rising oil and
gas prices.”

Case: Nacogdoches, USA: Greenfield delivery
for biomass combustion
Start-up autumn 2012
Metso’s first greenfield power
plant delivery to the USA with a
Metso DNA control system
One of the world’s largest and
most efficient biomass boilers
Fuel: waste wood
Capacity:100 Mwe
Technology: Bubbling fluidized Industy official: “We didn’t believe a
bed single 100 MWe biomass fired unit
was possible,” said one industry
official, “but Metso has shown it can
be done, and done well.”

Case: Conversion from fossil fuel to biomass
Case: Martinská Teplárenská, Slovakia
Conversion of lignite boiler to
biomass firing
Boiler can burn industrial by-
products, refuse derived fuels
and biofuels. Coal, gas and oil
can be used as supplementary
fuels. A boiler modernized in this
way is virtually new, at a cost far Solver effect
below that of a new unit. Results:
•Diversified fuel basis
•Security of energy supply
• Decrease in annual emissions:
CO2 200.000 tons/year – equals to
120.000 cars, SO2 2.500 tons/year,
(1) Based on CO2 emission of 165 g/km (7 l/100 km gasoline) and 10,000 km per year NO2 120 tons/year
(2) Carbon footprint calculated as CO2. Based on 8,000 hrs operation time per year.
Compared to firing of brown coal with 1% sulfur content.
