Foster Wheeler Energia Oy Group president and CEO Tomas Harju-Jeanty said, "The fuel flexibility of Foster Wheeler’s CFB technology provides an excellent solution for biomass power generation because it can utilise a wide range of renewable and waste fuels."
"Our CFBs can divert waste headed for landfills and instead convert this waste into valuable steam and electricity," he added.
The firm will be responsible for the design and supply of the steam generator and auxiliary equipment, and will carry out the erection and commissioning of the boiler island.
The steam generator will be designed to burn 100% bio fuel with up to 50% demolition wood.
