The benefits of an AET power plant include:
Determining the optimal design for a biomass-fired power plant involves in many parameters such as optimum operating conditions, fuel, boiler, turbine, steam/water cycle etc.
AET can assist you in optimising the plant parameters as our expert staff have many years of experience and extensive knowledge of steam cycles and steam turbines.
AET Biomass Power Plants can be designed for almost all types of biomass. The high electrical 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:
