Flexible fuel processing

Gemdoubs Papierfabrik, Novillars

The Gemdoubs paper factory in Novillars produces corrugated board packaging for the retail sector. The newly constructed biomass power plant feeds the factory permanently and relaibly with steam for the paper production and additionally injects green electricity into the grid.

Requirements

The production of fuel, intake of external fuels, fuel storage and boiler feeding were the challenges in this project. To guarantee this task it was necessary to install a proven and low-maintenance system equipment. Furthermore the customer requires a sufficient fuel storage to maintain the boiler operation for several day without fuel generation. Vecoplan realised a flexible system equipment to secure the permanent boiler supply.

Solution

A biomass Chipper VTH 600 to shred coniferous logs and cutting discs, a VAZ 1100 to shred overlenghts after disc screen, as well as a comprehensive conveyor and storage system were used.

Result

The Vecoplan solution ensures a steady material flow and a high storage capacity. In addition, the concept has a convincing energy balance. The customer also benefits from high-quality fuel chips as output material.
