Metso supplies award-winning biomass project

摘要

The Nacogdoches Generating Facility in Sacul, Texas, was awarded the 2012 Project of the Year in the Biomass category by Power Engineering Magazine at the Power-Gen international conference in December. The Nacogdoches Project includes a Metso-supplied boiler island with the world's largest BFB boiler. The project also included Metso Automation flow control devices and a Metso DNA plant-wide distributed control system. This boiler is the largest HYBEX boiler in service, designed to produce 930,000 Ibs/hr (117 kg/s) of steam and generate 100 megawatts of renewable electrical power. The plant is fuelled entirely by non-merchantable wood biomass materials.
