We are a part of both Large Combustion Plant (LCP) and Waste Incineration (WI) working groups, which Energiateollisuus ry has established to monitor the BREF preparation and to highlight the perspective of Finnish energy production.
LCP BREF preparations are in the final phase and it will be accepted no later than 2017. The Technical Working Group for the review of the WI BREF held its first plenary meeting on January 2015. Currently national preparations are in data collecting phase.
New ways to utilise by-product flows and biomass
Interest to utilise and use by-product flows and biomass in new ways in energy production is growing and developing fast.
Novox is strongly participating this development work.
New environmental regulations through WID and BAT
The new industial emissions directive (IED) will tighten the environmental requiremenst of combustion plants. The definitions for the best available technique (BAT) will also be up-dated and taken as basis for the emissons limits values.
Thermal biomass gasification
Wood biomass gasification plant produces 140 MW of biomass gas to a coal fired power boiler at the Vaskiluoto power plant
Wood biomass storage and dryer are shown in the picture.
