Forestiéres DG – 600 BHP Steam Plant
A new KMW 600 BHP high pressure biomass steam boiler is in full production at the Forestiéres D.G sawmill. The new boiler is operating on 100% wet bark at 60% moisture. Forestiéres D.G invested in a new KMW system and is saving significantly each month by burning low value wet bark and selling their dry wood residue.
KMW successfully completed performance and particulate emissions testing at this sawmill. The average test result from three tests was 20% below the contracted limit. The KMW system meets the new 150 mg/Rm3 limit with mechanical dust collection only, a first in North America. The capability of burning wet bark at 60% moisture very clean and efficient is a landmark for the KMW design.
