- Valmet signed a EUR 40 million contract for a flue gas desulphurization and denitrification system.
- The installation will reduce sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate emissions.
- The wet limestone FGD will be operational by June 2017, and the SCR system by October 2018.
- The project involves four OP-110 coal-fired boilers at the Inowroclaw CHP plant.
Contract Overview
Valmet has signed a EUR 40 million contract with CIECH Soda Polska S.A. to supply a flue gas desulphurization (FGD) and denitrification system for the combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Inowroclaw, Poland. This investment aims to extend the plant's lifetime and reduce sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate emissions.
Project Scope
The project includes the delivery of a common wet limestone-based FGD installation to desulphurize flue gases from four existing coal-fired boilers. Additionally, a selective reduction catalyst (SCR) system will be installed in each boiler for denitrification. Each boiler will also receive a new rotating air preheater and flue gas fan to further extend their operational life.
Timeline
The wet limestone FGD installation is scheduled to be operational by June 2017. The first SCR installation will be operational by June 2016, with the final one expected by October 2018.
Technical Advantages
The wet limestone FGD solution offers a relatively low cost for the limestone sorbent and produces commercial-grade gypsum, which can be used in various building industry applications. This technology is well-established, with proven reliability and references worldwide.
