Gelderland
Location: Netherlands
Operator: Electrabel Nederland
Configuration: 1 X 632 MW
Operation: 1981
Fuel: hard coal, oil, biomass
Boiler supplier: Stork
T/G supplier: MAN, Alsthom
Quick facts: In 1985-1988, the unit was fitted with a wet limestone FGD system of GE Environmental Services design and in 1994, an SCR system was added. The plant is the site of a waste wood co-firing project designed to burn 60,000 tpa of processed waste wood. The material is collected and processed into raw wood chips at three sites and the wood is then cleaned and chipped. After delivery to the plant, the chips are screened again and then fed to a hammer mill and finally powdered in a wood-handling system. A metering system then delivers the fuel to four burner injection systems, each capable of delivering 1.1-3.5t of fuel per hour and in total supplying about 20MWe equivalent of heat input. The system was commissioned in 1995 as the first direct biomass co-combustion demonstration in a large utility boiler in Europe.
