ANDRITZ successfully completes biomass power plant project in Hungary
International technology group ANDRITZ has handed over a state-of-the-art biomass power plant to Hungrana, Hungary's leading sugar producer.
The new plant marks a significant milestone in Hungrana’s efforts for increase sustainability and production efficiency.
ANDRITZ supplied the plant on a turnkey basis, from design and manufacture to erection of the boiler and related equipment, including associated civil works.
Now fully operational, the modern plant enhances Hungrana's ability to produce steam from renewable resources, reducing its reliance on gas.
It has the capacity to generate 32 tons of steam per hour at 12 bar(g) and 220°C using wood chips as fuel.
“We are very pleased with the timely completion of this project and the high quality of the work provided by ANDRITZ,” said Zoltán Reng, CEO of Hungrana. “The entire process, from initial design to final commissioning, was handled with great efficiency and professionalism. This new biomass power plant underscores our commitment to sustainability. We are proud of the positive impact it will have on both our business and the environment.”
The successful implementation of this project strengthens Hungrana’s position as an industry leader offering high-quality products while reducing its carbon footprint. It also highlights the expertise and reliability of ANDRITZ in delivering solutions for sustainable energy production that contribute to global environmental goals.
