DuroShell maximizes uptime and reduces costs at biomass combined heat and power plant
2 PagesAt its Lugnvik combined heat and power (CHP) plant, Swedish renewable energy company Jämtkraft experienced issues with the heat exchanger used to recover heat from boiler blowdown water. Due to repeated leakage from the unit, the company turned to Alfa Laval. The solution? The all-welded Alfa Laval DuroShell plate- and-shell heat exchanger designed for demanding high- temperature duties and high resistance to cyclic fatigue. Now there’s more uptime, reduced energy costs and better compliance with environmental regulations at the Jämtkraft Lugnvik plant. The Jämtkraft Lugnvik CHP plant has been processing forestry biomass into bioenergy since 2002. The plant converts about a third of the biomass into electricity and two-thirds into district heating that covers the needs of 90% o
