The quest by Finnish forest company Enso-Gutzeit Oy for a wastepaper production facility results in a novel by-product: a combined-cycle power generation scheme that combines the best of bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) technology. Project development included construction of a 40 MWe and a 120 MWth combined heat and power (CHP) plant to supply the mill`s internal energy requirements. Plant start-up was completed last summer, followed by full commercial operation in the fall, when the paper mill entered service. The facility features standard components of the typical combined-cycle plant, but certain modifications were needed to suit an 80 MW steam requirement. Additional capacity needs include 44MW of electricity and 20MW of hot water.
