In Osijek (HR), HoSt built a wood-fired CHP plant. This plant will supply hot water to the district heating, steam to surrounding industries and electricity to the grid.

The prunings and the wood waste as fuel comes from the Osijek area. HoSt is responsible for the turn-key supply of the plant. The entire project is realized together with several local contractors.

CHARACTERISTICS

  • The water tube boiler design has a very high availability.
  • The fouling of the boiler and furnace is minimized due to low speeds and a low temperature on the grate.
  • A high efficiency is achieved by a combination of low flue gas outlet temperature, low O2 content in the flue gasses, a flue gas condenser and an efficient steam turbine.
