Biomass-CFB role model for Japan
Doosan Lentjes supplied the key technology for a CFB boiler (Circulating Fluidised Bed) for the 75 MWe biomass power plant in Sodegaura, Japan. The scope of supply included the engineering and procurement of the boiler island, comprising the boiler and flue gas cleaning equipment.
The project was realised for the plant operator, the Osaka Gas Group, as part of a larger engineering and procurement contract awarded to Doosan Enerbility. In close cooperation with the local partner Chiyoda Corporation, extensive expertise was combined along the entire value chain.
The plant design is based on increased steam parameters and an optimised superheater system. This design enables maximum utilisation of the generated steam, thus contributing to achieving the highest levels of efficiency. Both integrated and supplementary flue gas cleaning systems were used to comply with the applicable emission requirements.
The project underlines the increasing efforts of the Japanese government to implement a sustainable, low-CO₂ energy supply.
