Biomass to Energy

For over thirty years, Valmet has been supplying the energy industry around the world with solutions for high-efficiency power production based on various kinds of biofuels. Today, many of the world’s largest biomass power plants run with Valmet’s technology. Our technological expertise covers fuel processing at a boiler plant from fuel receiving, handling and drying, to feeding fuel to the boiler.

Leading fluidized bed technology

Valmet has a wide range of solutions for converting biomass to energy. Biomass, alone or together with other fuels, can be combusted in our fluidized bed boilers. One of our newest solutions is biomass gasification, which enables fossil fuel replacement with biomass on a large scale, increasing fuel flexibility and reducing CO2 emissions economically. Valmet Pyrolyzer turns solid biomass into high-value liquid fuels and chemicals. We offer the entire plant solution including automation, service and maintenance.

For sustainable power generation and combined heat and power (CHP) generation, we provide modular power plants that enable flexible utilization of local renewables.

Automation solutions

Valmet is specialized in the automation of fluidized bed boilers in greenfield and retrofit projects.

In addition to combustion control and optimization solutions, the Valmet DNA Automation System includes versatile performance monitoring applications for the fluidized bed boiler, a fuel management system for solid fuel received, condition monitoring and other DCS features designed for power plant automation.
