Currently, the sawmill operates a 14MW biomass-powered boiler.
The boiler, in addition to energy supply for the sawmill also provides eco-friendly district heating to one of the district heating networks operated by Tekniska Verken in Linköping, Sweden.
Opcon’s flue gas condenser will further improve the energy efficiency of Kindasågen sawmill and utilize waste heat that was previously not exploited.
The installation is scheduled to be completed this year.
Upon completion, Södra will be able to increase its supplies of eco-friendly district heating from Kindasågen by around 2MW without having to use more fuel.
The installation will also reduce the entire sawmill’s emissions of particles significantly.
