BioPower and BioEnergy plants

Wärtsilä Biopower manufactures and supplies biomass-fuelled power plants and heating plants. More than 100 BioGrate plants are currently in operation in Europe, Canada and Russia.

Wärtsilä Biopower offers you:

  • Optimised energy production for different needs: for example, a plant for electricity generation only (condense plant) or co-generation solution designed for optimized heat recovery.
  • High reliability through proven technology and extensive operational experience
  • The patented rotating BioGrate combustion technology has taken the universal grate technology into a new level of operational performance in terms of:
  • Low emissions, on Nox and CO emissions it can be reached the strictest limits demanded at the market place
  • High combustion efficiency with low unburned content in the ashes
  • No supplementary firing required. The BioGrate is ignited and kept running purely with biofuels only up to 65% fuel moisture
  • Modern automation allows unmanned operation with daily attendance.
  • The standard plant design is based on modern architecture which allows the plant to be installed into urban surroundings. This combined with a low noise option makes it possible to locate the plant even next to a living area with housing close by.
