Hörby District Heating Plant – Hörby, Sweden
Background
The district heating plant in Hörby was established in 2004 and is owned by Solör Bioenergi Syd AB. The facility includes a 6 MW biofuel boiler fueled by logging residues (GROT), sawdust, and wood chips from local suppliers. As the plant did not have an existing steam boiler and traditional steam turbines are not economically viable for smaller heating plants, Solör Bioenergi chose to invest in an ORC turbine to cover its internal electricity demand at the facility.
Our solution
Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum electrical capacity of 49.9 kW. The ORC system enables electricity production from the hot water of the heating boiler. In total, the system is expected to produce 400 MWh of electricity annually, corresponding to annual emission reductions of 360 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents when replacing European marginal electricity. Solör Bioenergi has signed a service agreement with Againity to ensure long lifetime and minimal maintenance.
