| Technology Brief |
The 12 MWth gasifier is providing currently fuel gas to Stora Enso’s limekiln at Varkaus. The gasifier is a 12 MWth CFB-unit, which has been running since the end of 2008. It started first as air-blown gasifier in order to produce only the raw gas for the lime kiln. In 2009-2011 the gasifier was mainly operated in the oxygen-steam mode to produce low nitrogen content gas for the BTL demonstration purpose. NSE biofuels Oy, a joint venture between Neste Oil and Stora Enso, opened a demonstration plant at Stora Enso’s Varkaus Mill in Finland in 2009. The main goal was to demonstrate Biomass-to-Liquids (BTL) technology which is based on steam-oxygen blown CFB gasification followed by hot filtration and catalytic tar reforming. After completing the successful demonstration programme for Neste Oil and Stora Enso (supplier Foster Wheeler) in 2011, the plant was modified to air-blown operation.
