Green power Aalborg Energie Technik (AET) specialises in the design and manufacture of biomass-fired boiler plants and combined heat and power installations. Industry Europe looks at the latest from the company.
L
ast year (2016) AET celebrated its 20th anniversary. It was founded in 1996 when a group of leading Danish engineers decided to set up a new company following the decision by Alfa Laval Aalborg to shut down its biomass boiler business in Denmark. Today AET is a leading, independent European contracting company that supplies biomass fired boiler power plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP) throughout Europe. As a technological leader in solving socially-created environmental problems through thermal utilisation of agro-industrial biomass waste, the company strives to continuously improve its technology in order to provide the best biomass-fired power and CHP plants in the world. AET covers the design, engineering, delivery and service of biomass-fired plants with all forms of biomass: primarily wood chips, wood waste, sander dust and bark. In addition, the raw fuel materi-
als can also be distiller’s grain, poultry litter and meat and bone meal as well as straw and other agricultural residues. Today AET designs and supplies power plants that range from 25 to 170 MWth and employs more than 100 people.
High-efficiency, low emissions As one of the world’s most innovative and experienced biomass boiler suppliers, the company has a well stablished reputation for supplying biomass boilers and combustion systems with exceptionally high efficiencies and availabilities. These offer high fuel flexibility and low emission impact. In addition, the unique AET biomass boiler systems enjoy very low maintenance costs. Meanwhile the AET Combustion System is a well proven technology which, together with the boiler design, optimises the combustion process to give its Industry Europe 103
