ENGINEERINGNET.EU -- The delivery involves a demonstration plant, in which bio-oil is produced from forest residue and other biomasses.
The bio-oil produced in the plant can be used instead of heavy fuel oil, and it may be used as raw material in the chemical industry and biodiesel production in the future.
The nominal output of the plant will be 30 MW oil production and the planned annual production will be 50,000 tons.
The utilization of bio-oil produced at the Joensuu plant helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 59,000 tons a year.
The new plant is scheduled for start-up in the autumn of 2013. The value of the order has not been disclosed.
