Biomass fired CHP plant based on a steam screw-type engine cycle in Sachsenburg (Austria)

Objectives

The aim is to demonstrate a small-scale CHP plant in a sawmill. Fuel will be bark at about 7,500 dry t/a. A screw type engine (new small-scale technology) runs on saturated steam at medium pressure (24 bar) and at a flow rate of 8.3 t/h. A new automatic cleaning system for biomass-fired tube boilers will be used. the steam boiler capacity is 4.5 MW_th and the engine cycle capacity is 0.742 MW_e. The efficiency is 11.5% electrical and 74% thermal. This is the first large-scale demonstration in Europe. Nominal investment is 3450 ECU/kW_e.
