Bazancourt overview

New ash handling and fuel feeding system enabled efficient operation for a power plant in Bazancourt, France. The combined heat and power plant (CHP) uses biomass as fuel, including wood chips and bark, recycled wood, and cuttings from vines.

Laitex designed and supplied a fuel feeding system and ash handling equipment for the 45 MWth Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) boiler. Ash handling equipment included both bottom and fly ash handling. In addition to the delivery, Laitex performed commissioning supervision and training for the staff of the plant.

Biomass solution for the new plant

The fuel feeding system used in a plant is part of a long-term development for the future of green energy in France. The boiler plant is a combined heat and power plant that generates superheated steam for electricity production. Additionally, it supplies hot water and process steam for the "black and white" wood pellet production plant as well as to third-party industrial processes located nearby.
