Eneco Bio Golden Raand <\/strong>\u2013 The Eneco Bio Golden Raand (BGR) biomass power plant in Delfzijl, the Netherlands, sustainably converts approximately 300,000 tonnes of waste wood chips into green electricity and steam every year. The waste wood used for this purpose arrives in Delfzijl by ship and truck and comes mainly from the Netherlands. In 2015, the Eneco BGR plant was the first in the world to obtain the Better Biomass certificate based on the NTA8080 standard for producing, trading or processing biomass in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n

From wood chips to steam and power<\/h2>\n

The supplied wood chips are transported to the combustion boiler via the conveyor belt. The biomass burns in the combustion boiler at 900 \u00b0C. Steam is produced from the boiler via a water-steam circuit. This steam is supplied to the Delfzijl Chemical Park and is used to drive a steam turbine, which in turn drives a generator that produces electricity.<\/p>\n

Annual maintenance shutdown<\/h2>\n

Once a year, the entire production process is shut down for 3-4 weeks to allow cleaning and maintenance work to be carried out on the combustion boiler, turbines, wood supply lines and air compressors. During this maintenance shutdown (turnaround), 200-250 contractors are active in and around the plant, with coordination in the hands of the daily Eneco BGR operational team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The first year we deployed VISICS as a trial. And with success: we wouldn\u2019t want anything else.<\/p>\n
