Saxlund supplied a system comprising of an overhead crane, screening and conveying for a 125MWth Biomass Power Station in Wales.
Case study
Biomass power plant in Teesside Great Britain
Babcock & Wilcox Vølund built a biomass power plant in the North- East of England for waste wood with a heat output of 125 MW. For this purpose, Saxlund supplies the conveyor systems from the storage with 2 portal crane systems and the entire conveying path into the boiler.
The shredded waste wood is delivered by truck. Two portal cranes distribute the fuel in storage and supply the receiving bin. A screw bottom underneath the funnel discharges the material and feeds it to a disk separator. The material flow can be bypassed by means of a distribution flap in the bypass chute.
Screw conveyors distribute the wood chips to one of the two conveyor lines, each consisting of 3 trough chain conveyors. The wood chips are conveyed from the storage building into the boiler house via the trough chain conveyors and distributed to the boiler feed funnel on three points each.
