Who we are

Since 2010, AS SCAN has worked closely with the Norwegian boiler manufacturer Parat Halvorsen, and Tjæreborg Industri, which is a plant supplier to the district heating industry. Through this collaboration, we offer high-voltage electrode boilers for both hot water and steam. A successful collaboration where our different competencies complement each other well. This was expressed in the latest boiler project for Gørding Varmeværk.

A compact and reliable solution

The board of Gørding Varmeværk has chosen a turnkey solution, which includes the delivery and installation of an 8MW, 10 KV electrode boiler with a water treatment system. This type of boiler provides them with a flexible and compact unit that can be installed in their existing buildings.

Heating plant with ambitious plans

Until 2012, Gørding heating plant exclusively used wood chips. To ensure that their consumers could also get cheap, green heat in the future, they invested in a large solar collector system. The new electric boiler is thus another step on the way to an even more secure, stable and climate-friendly heat supply. With the combination of wood chips, solar heating and electric boilers, the heating plant can adjust the heat production according to where the costs are lowest. With the newly installed electrode boiler, Gørding Varmeværk manager Jes Skaarup has thus got more strings to play on.

"We are really happy with our new boiler. I must say that it has been a pleasure to work with both Tjæreborg, Parat and Scan, where there has been a good dialogue throughout. In fact, the questions that came along the way were often just cleared up in the morning over a cup of coffee and a bite of bread. Now I'm just looking forward to the wind is starting to blow, so we can use cheap wind turbine power to make hot water in the boiler," says Jes.

A healthy investment

Capital investment in an electric boiler per MW of heating power is somewhat lower than other heating solutions. An electric boiler solution is incredibly flexible and can start up very quickly when electricity prices are favorable. In addition, the boiler can function as both a spare load and a peak load unit. Overall, this makes it a sensible investment that can pay off in the short term.

In 1966, Bredebro Varmeværk was established by some diligent businesspeople. 

Today, Bredebro Varmeværk is a state-of-the-art, natural gas-fired CHP plant combined with a wood chips system. In recent years the heating plant has reorganized production to become more profitable and environmentally friendly.

As part of this reorganization, Bredebro Varmeværk decided to have a high-voltage electric boiler installed. In close cooperation, we then tailer-made a system fully according to Bredebro Varmeværks needs. The result was a 7 MW boiler from Norwegian Parat Halvorsen, installed and commissioned by Tjæreborg Industri and AS SCAN.

The main reasons for choosing this solution were a combination of 3 things:

1. High flexibility (From low idle to full load in 30 sec)
2. Compact design
3. Service

“Overall, I had a great collaboration with both AS SCAN and Tjæreborg Industri. In correlation with the installation and commissioning of our new boiler, they were proactive and had good insight into all project details. It was also positive to experience that the project was delivered on time and that the installation was carried out at a high-quality level.”

Our products are built to last and perform under harsh conditions for years on end. The surface treatment of our products is therefore extremely important as it protects our components from said conditions. For the very same reason, we have high internal requirements for the quality level of the painting. At AS SCAN, we therefore have our own painting department, in which experienced employees ensure a high level of quality.

Our marine products that are mounted on the weather deck are either metalized or galvanized before painting to ensure a proper surface treatment. 

Finally, to achieve the best visual paint finish, we sand the paint before applying the final coat, which ensures a closed, smooth and even surface.
