MBF Objectives The Mixed bio-fuel 38 MWe power plant project started on 1 January 2000 with FLS Miljø (DK) as the project coordinator, and Energy Power Resources Ltd. (UK) as a partner. The main objective of this project is to design, build, own and operate a mixed bio-fuel 38 MWe power plant in the UK. The plant’s major sub-systems comprise the biomass handling, firing system, supercritical boiler, flue-gas cleaning system, and turbine island. The firing system, consisting of feeding equipment, firing grate and furnace, had to be upgraded to accommodate biomass consisting primarily of miscanthus (with wood chips or straw as a substitute), poultry litter, and sludge. The eligible work packages for this project are: WP 1 Miscanthus Establishment and Logistics WP 2 Upgraded Biomass Firing System. Mixed biofuel 38 MWe power plant Project structure FLS Miljø is the project coordinator and is responsible for all technical aspects and execution of this project. EPR is responsible for work package 1. The purchaser of the power generating plant will be Energy Power Resources Corby Limited (Corby, UK). The supplier of the plant will be FLSm and the plant will be constructed under a turnkey contract and operated and maintained under the same contract. Challenges The objective of the eligible part of the project is to demonstrate two innovative aspects of the plant. The first is the short rotation crop handling since miscanthus will be used as a primary biofuel on a commercial scale for the first time in UK. Miscanthus is a fast- growing, stiff-strawed biomass with good combustion characteristics. The second innovative part is the upgraded biomass firing system to burn the combination of miscanthus, poultry litter, sludge, and natural gas. 36 Expected benefits The major benefit of this project to the EU will be a yearly electrical output of some 256,500 MWh of CO2-neutral green energy while burning miscanthus for the first time in UK, and at high electrical efficiency of 35%. If this plant burnt coal it would generate 338,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. Progress to date Miscanthus establishment and logistics 9 ha of miscanthus has been established. It was planted at the beginning of May 2000 at a rate of approximately 3 rhizomes/m2. Plant growth has been monitored and conditions assessed approximately once a month. All plants look healthy and vigorous with no evidence of disease. A series of events and open days were undertaken to encourage farmers and growers to participate in a 500 ha demonstration trail. These events were successful and a number of potential host farmers have been identified. Several potential miscanthus growers have successfully applied for DEFRA-Energy Crops Scheme establishment grants. Additional growers have been identified and plan was to establish 500 ha by June 2003. During 2000, Anglian Straw Ltd. successfully demonstrated the harvesting of miscanthus from trail plots using mower conditioner by producing high-density Hesston bales.
Isometric view of Corby Mixed Bio-Fuel plant. Design and engineering of the Corby plant The design and engineering of the Corby plant was divided into the following main sections: Fuel supply, reception and storage; boiler; fluegas treatment system; steam turbine plant and cooling system; water supply treatment and storage, ash handling and storage, generator, and control and instrumentation. The design basis was for nominal plant with a capacity of 38 MWe (net) based on mixed biofuels and 10% of natural gas. Mixed biofuel of nominal and maximum composition based on input power was: • Straw (miscanthus) nominal 58%, max. 90% • Poultry litter nominal 10%, max. 10% • Natural gas nominal 10%, max. 20% • Wood chips max. 15% (emergency operation, no poultry litter) The design, including all process calculations, detailed engineering, and layouts of the Corby plant was completed by FLSm by the summer of 2001. Process flow diagram for nominal load normal operation. Boiler layout for Corby Mixed Bio-Fuel plant. Progress to date Miscanthus development has been delayed due to severe wet weather in the UK, in particular in September 2000, and foot and mouth disease which made it difficult to persuade farmers to establish new crops. In the initial project planning it was expected to use commercial waste partially (as packaging) with gate fee, but that was not possible. Using straw as major fuel had a major negative impact on the project economics. The partners had a Non Fossil Fuel Obligation (NFFO) contract for 14 MW and were expecting to aggregate other NFFO contracts for MBF 38 MWe plant. However, since each contract requires separate power output, the aggregation was not economically attractive. Furthermore, it was found out that the grid can only accept 25 MWe so the economy of scale was disrupted, making plant economics unviable. Even though the Corby plant will not be built, the know-how obtained in the design and engineering of this plant can in future serve as a basis for the commercial offer and project execution for MBF plant of any size. 37 INFORMATION References: NNE5-394-1999 Programme: FP5 - Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Title: Mixed Bio-Fuel 38MWe Power Plant Project – MBF Duration: 54 months Contact point: Vladimir Boscac FLS Miljø a/s Tel: +45-36181001 Fax: +45-36174599 vlb@flsmiljo.com Partners: FLS Miljø (DK) Energy Power Resources (UK) EC Scientific Officer: José Riesgo Villanueva Tel: +32-2-2957939 Fax: +32-2-2966261 jose.riesgo@cec.eu.int Status: Ongoing
