Sdr. Felding Varmeværk - going green with a Parat hot water boiler
At Sdr. Felding Varmeværk sustainable heat production and economy goes hand in hand. Our targeted investment in biomass, electric boiler and heat pump makes us flexible and at the same time strengthens the green transition, says Operations Manager Tonny Dam Jensen, Sdr. Felding Varmeværk.
District heating of the future
Sdr. Felding Varmeværk is an innovative company and a good example of what the future of district heating can look like. They have just inaugurated a brand new heating system, which is installed in bright, attractive premises. In connection with the installation there were made some drone shots and later on when the heating plans were in use we were inside to record the finished result.
The project aims to have a more flexible heat production which can be adjusted according to energy prices. "For us, sustainability and heating prices go hand in hand, so we have prioritized the most climate-friendly alternatives to conventional district heating systems that use fossil fuels", says Tonny
Sdr. Felding Varmeværk has invested in new climate-friendly alternatives to district heating made from fossil fuels. They have built an efficient system consisting of:
10MW Parat electric boiler
3.3MW Fenagy heat pump
3,300m3 accumulation tank
The boiler and heat pump will supplement the wood chip burning plant with heat production.
Openness and knowledge sharing
With the approach that knowledge sharing produces better results for everyone, Sdr. Felding Varmeværk has entered this exciting project with a desire for transversal cooperation in the industry.
"We would like to help drive the industry in a more sustainable direction, which is why we are also very open about our green initiatives and are happy to share our experiences with colleagues in the industry", says Tonny.
Sdr. Felding Varmeværk is constantly adapting heat production and is also very active in the special regulation market. The Parat electric boiler is an important part of the provision of regulation services because it can regulate quickly. The electric boiler is a good supplement to heat pumps, which cannot regulate as quickly as the electric boiler can. Often, district heating plant companies prioritize turning on the heat pumps first and then supplementing with the electric boiler until they reach the maximum number of KW they can consume. In this way, they get the most out of the periods when electricity is the cheapest.
"When wind turbines turn fast and make green electricity, we can start the electric boiler and heat the water in the accumulator tank. When the electricity price is high, we can then switch off the boiler and use the water in the accumulator tank. In this way, we can always make cheap heating for our customers", says Tonny.
Facts about Sdr. Felding's electric boiler
• The boiler has been supplied and installed by AS SCAN and Tjæreborg Industri
• The boiler is produced by Norwegian Parat Halvorsen, who has designed and developed boilers since 1920
• The boiler has a compact design with a diameter of 2.35m and a height of 5.80m
• The boiler is designed for a pressure of up to 85 barg and 10.5 MW from 10.5kV
Vestvaerftet has designed and built the fishing vessel Ocean Crest. The ship is 27 meter long and 9 meter wide and outfitted for trawl fishing and fly shooting. The ship was built for the Irish Sheehy family and is based in Skibbereen, which is a small town with only 2,000 inhabitants located in the south of Ireland.
Early in the project phase, AS SCAN was contacted by the yard to discuss the possibilities of a collaboration where we had to install and test hydraulic equipment supplied by Irish SeaQuest. A dialogue that resulted in a good and constructive collaboration.
After several months of intensive work of installing more than 1,300 meters of hydraulic pipes, valves, hydraulic pumps etc., we have now installed and tested the ship's hydraulic system. All this took place in parallel with the shipyard and its subcontractors equipping the vessel with other technical equipment.
All hydraulic tubes, on working deck and weather deck, were made of stainless steel. The hydraulic equipment among others include:
2 x 32t trawl winches
2 x 16t net drums
2 x 1.5t cranes
1 x trawl gallow to move the wire blocks transversely.
Furthermore, AS SCAN has also delivered a complete steering system containing an MT3500 steering gear and control system. The steering gear in operated by two cylinder pistons, which is also called a piston-type steering gear - a reliable and secure solution.
The ship has now sailed home to Ireland, where it fishes from the southern Irish fishing port of Baltimore.
Thank you to the Sheehy family for positive cooperation during the entire project.
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.
