Canadian cogeneration plant converts wood waste to power
- R.J. Anthony Public Relations, Brooklyn, NY (USA)
An Ontario waste-to-energy plant is burning wood waste from lumbering operations, providing power for electric utility distribution, generating steam for mill use, and improving the environment. The facility is the first and only cogeneration operation of its type in Canada. Placed into commercial operation in February 1987, the wood-waste-fueled plant at Chapleau, Ontario burns 360 tons per day and generates a maximum of 7 MW, most of which is sold to Ontario Hydro. Low-pressure steam is also solid to an adjacent sawmill to kiln-dry lumber and provide space heating there, although this reduces electrical output. The paper describes the background planning, the incineration and generation components, fuel handling system, water treatment system, plant control system, engineering management, and environmental controls.
