Maintpartner and Fortum to refurbish Eskilstuna Energi & Miljö biofuel-driven thermal power station in Sweden

Espoo, Finland, 3-12-2015 — /EuropaWire/ — The Swedish power company Eskilstuna Energi & Miljö refurbishes its biofuel-driven thermal power station. The aim is to secure supply of district heating for the next 20 years and to reduce NOx emissions by 5 – 10 per cent. The project is estimated to be finished in September 2016.

The refurbishment covers several technologies: combustion technology, electricity, automation, as well as burner, machinery and building technology. Items to be replaced are for example start-up burners, fluidized bed cyclones and the ash removal system.

– The solid technical competence of Fortum Power Solutions and Maintpartner’s unique skills in industrial maintenance are a strong combination, says Martti Kautto, who at Maintpartner is responsible for thermal power plants.

During the past year Maintpartner has signed several deals and projects concerning thermal power plants.

– I am delighted to see that Maintpartner has distinguished itself as a leading supplier of maintenance services for thermal power plants, says Peter Jonsson, Country President at Maintpartner Sweden.
