Benefits for You

The benefits of an AET Cogeneration Plant includes:

  • The high performing AET Biomass Boiler
    - High boiler efficiency
    - Low in-house power consumption
    - Low flue gas emissions
    High fuel flexibility - low operating cost
    - High combustion efficiency
    - Best Available Technology
  • Fast load response
    - Plant reacts quickly in accordance with varying steam demands
  • High plant efficiency
    - Optimised heat balance
    - Good business case for you
  • High availability
    - Improved business case for you

Determining the optimal design for a biomass-fired combined heat and power plant involves in many parameters such as optimal operating conditions, fuel, boiler, turbine, steam/water cycle, heat requirements.

AET can assist you in optimising the plant parameters as our expert employees have many years of experience and extensive knowledge of steam cycles, boiler systems and steam turbines.

 

AET Biomass Cogeneration Plant parameters

The AET combined heat and power (CHP) plants can be designed for all types of biomass. The high efficiency, very stable electricity production and extremely high availability ensure a good business case for you as the investor. The design parameters below form the basic platform for our plants:

 

Fuel heat input

25 – 170 MWth

Net electrical power output

7 - 60 MWe

Net plant efficiency

45 - 90% depending on steam requirements and process integration
70 - 190% depending on district heating requirements and process integration

Boiler design

Water tube boiler with natural circulation
Single pressure or double pressure (reheat, e.g. 140 bar and 25 bar)

Operating time

At least 8000 hours without shutdown for manual cleaning

Boiler efficiency

91% - 94% depending on fuel moisture

Emission values

Better than European requirements (large boiler or WID)

Fuel flexibility

Fuel moisture content: 10 - 57%

Auxiliary burner

Not necessary

In-house power consumption

<2.5% of fuel heat input

Availability

Better than 96%.

District heating:

18% of all district heating  for Linz, the third-largest city of Austria, is served by a biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant.

Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma KG, Germany, a 70 MW CHP plant, uses waste wood as fuel.
