First heat network of high temperature (300 degrees) with biomass of the Peninsula

First heat network with high temperature biomass

This unique facility, which begins to supply energy to the 6 industries of the La Valldan de Berga polygon (Barcelona), was conceived as a way of valuing the biomass of the region's forests after the effects of Hurricane Klaus on the wood market. of 2009.

The boiler room has 2 biomass boilers of 2,3 MW each. These boilers use forest chip to heat synthetic oil to 300 degrees centigrade, which exchanges its energy with two networks, one high temperature (300 degrees and 13 bar) and another hot water (80 degrees and 8 bar).

Other milestones of this installation have been the change of model caused in the use and commercialization of biomass by forest owners. Now there is a planning by management cantons according to a technical document and the wood is awarded by public auction according to quality directly to the sawmills. Only wood that is not considered suitable for these industries is used for energy use.

INNERGY, the company that has installed the two biomass boilers, will be at EXPOBIOMASA2019.
