Sawmill Fagersta 5MW

Karl Segerström's sawmill is located outside Fagersta and produces structural timber for glulam beams, roof trusses and panels. Karl Segerström AB specializes in spruce. To enable expansion, they are now investing in a new modern fully-automated boiler plant from AKJ Energiteknik where they plan to burn most of the bark. A complete new boiler plant is being built next to the sawmill.

AKJ Energiteknik is the turnkey contractor for the machine and process equipment. The contract includes design, installation and commissioning of a complete boiler plant with fuel handling with rod feeder, incinerator, boiler, flue gas cleaning with electric filter, mechanical, pipe and electrical installations and control systems.

The combustion equipment is performed with AKJ's moving grate technology combustion system for moist sawmill fuels with spruce, pine bark, sawdust and is optimized to maximize operational availability and low NOx values.

Kiruna – 10MW pellets

Kiruna is undergoing extensive urban transformation due to the expanding mining industry, while the energy system is being converted to be supplied mainly with waste heat from LKAB in the future. LKAB's ore refining processes generate large amounts of excess heat in the chemical reaction that occurs when magnetite oxidizes to hematite, after which iron ore concentrates are pelletized into transportable balls. The waste heat is part of a larger green transition with the goal of Kiruna being climate neutral by 2025. Existing waste and oil boilers are planned to be replaced gradually. The new pellet boilers will serve as plannable peak and reserve load boilers during the coldest months and as a complement to the waste heat.

AKJ Energiteknik delivers two prefabricated boiler centers to Kiruna for planned reserve and peak load power.

The boilers are delivered as prefabricated modular boiler centers, so-called TPC, (transportable boiler center) with a pellet boiler of 5MW in each boiler center. The boiler centers are prefabricated in the workshop and are made in maximum size to be moved and driven on the road without barriers and police escorts.

The combustion equipment is carried out with AKJ's water-cooled moving grate combustion system for dry biofuels with pellets and is optimized to maximize operational availability and control range.

The contract includes the design, manufacture, assembly and commissioning of complete boiler plants with fuel handling, incinerator, boiler, flue gas cleaning with electric filters, mechanical, piping and electrical installations and control systems.

Gothenburg – 2x10MW bio-oil

AKJ Energiteknik delivers 2x10MW bio-oil boilers for dispatchable reserve and peak load power to the district heating network in Gothenburg. This project is a part of a larger sustainability project with the goal of converting away from natural gas and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

The bio-oil boilers are placed in prefabricated boiler centers called TPC (Transportable Boiler Center). The boiler centers are prefabricated at the workshop in Karlstad and are made in maximum size to be moved and driven on the road without barriers and police escorts.

The boilers will be fired with mixed fatty acid (MFA) bio-oils. There are several sustainability-classified MFA oils based on rapeseed, soy, corn and sunflower. The oils are produced by reusing residual products from, for example, pharmaceutical manufacturing, oleochemical industry and biodiesel production.

The combustion equipment is of low NOx design with a rotary burner. The bio-oil is supplied under low pressure to the inside of a rotating cup which, under speed, atomizes the oil into a mist while combustion air is supplied in several stages.

Resp boiler is equipped with electrostatic precipitator as the boilers are prepared for use more than 500h/year (MCP Directive).

The contract includes fuel handling with 2x80m3 insulated oil tanks, 1st reserve oil tank 50m3, LPG starting device, boiler centers, oil tables, oil burners, hot water boilers, distribution pumps, expansion, pressure maintenance, electrostatic precipitator, chimney, pipes, electrical and control installations. Control cabinet with ABB AC800M controllers, ABB 800xA DCS, master control system.

Knivsta – Prefabricated boiler plant with 5MW bio boiler for pellets and wood chips.

Knivsta is located between Stockholm and Uppsala and is an expansive municipality where two new sustainable neighborhoods with 15000 new homes are planned. The existing district heating plant produces about 50GWh annually, the plant currently has two biofuel boilers of 15MW and 5MW. The new boiler will replace the 5MW boiler and will serve as a summer and peak load boiler. The goal of the investment is to offer completely fossil-free district heating.

The new bio boiler is delivered in a prefabricated modular boiler house, the so-called transportable boiler house (TPC).

The contract includes the design, installation and commissioning of a complete boiler plant with fuel handling, incinerator, boiler, flue gas cleaning with electric filters, mechanical, piping and electrical installations and control systems.

The combustion equipment is performed with AKJ's dry biofuel combustion system with pellets and wood chips and optimized to maximize operational availability and control range.
