Aalborg, Denmark, 08.05.2017
The joint venture between the Italian company Termokimik Corporation Impianti e procedimenti industriali SpA (TKC) and AET will provide the equipment for a biomass-fired power plant, including an AET Biomass Boiler, to be developed in the city of Russi. The project is owned by PowerCrop Russi S.r.l., a company owned and operated by Enel Green Power and Seci Energia.

The AET Biomass Boiler is designed for a fuel heat input of 88 MWt and will generate live steam at 122 bara and 542°C. The AET Biomass Boiler will, at normal continuous rating, have a fuel heat input of 84 MWt, and the power plant will then produce 30 MWe (gross).
The annual power production corresponds to the consumption of around 84,000 households, and the biomass-fired power plant permits a reduction of carbon emission of 117,000 tons of CO2/year.
A joint venture has been formed between TKC and AET, in order to utilise both companies' strong competencies:
TKC is a highly regarded Italian engineering and contracting company with special expertise in power plants.
AET with its reputation for consistently delivering well-functioning biomass-fired plants, which has high availability and a very high efficiency.
The strict emission requirements of the project will be fulfilled using Best Available Technology, including AET Combustion System, AET Biomass Boiler, electrostatic precipitator (ESP), bag filter and NOx and CO catalysts.
Paolo Cavezzale, CEO of TKC: "We are very satisfied that this project is now progressing, and that we can bring our strong competences in project management and supply of plants on a turnkey basis to this project. We are very pleased with our partnership with AET on this project where each of our companies brings their core competencies into the project to obtain the very best result."
Hans Erik Askou, CEO of AET: "We have a great collaboration with TKC and look forward to delivering this highly efficient power plant together with them. It will be our second delivery of a biomass-fired plant to Italy."
AET has previously delivered a 49 MWt boiler plant to Zignago Power in Fossalta di Portogruaro. In the past year AET has signed a contract with JG Pears in the United Kingdom for a turnkey delivery of a 42 MWt/12 MWe CHP plant, and another EPC contract for a 63 MWt/20 MWe plant; Cogéneration Biomasse de Novillars in France.
