Standardkessel Baumgarte is continuing to expand its capabilities in waste-to-energy projects, CHP plants and biomass and primary fuel power plants

In September 2019, Standardkessel Baumgarte GmbH was awarded a contract for the supply, construction and commissioning of a new biomass power plant in Belgium. The plant, at Beveren, will be operated by Indaver, a major European player in sustainable waste management sector, and SUEZ, the world leader in smart and sustainable resource management, though their jointventure E-Wood Energiecentrale NV.

The new E-Wood biomass power plant is to utilise around 180,000 tonnes of non-recyclable used wood per annum. It will have an electrical power output of 20 MW and will additionally produce high-pressure steam which will be injected into the ECLUSE steam network in Waasland Port.

The plant will be located near the Antwerp container terminal, where the joint owners, SUEZ and Indaver, already operate three waste incineration lines whose steam generators were supplied in 2006, also by Standardkessel Baumgarte.

Standardkessel Baumgarte is a subsidiary of the Tokyo-headquartered international company JFE Engineering Corporation. It supplies turn-key power plants and components for power plants for industrial and municipal energy supply. Its plants enable clean energy to be generated using fuels such as biomass, household and industrial waste as well as coal, gas and oil.

energy from waste

Standardkessel Baumgarte’s energy from waste plants deliver technically sophisticated and innovative boiler and power plant systems for generating energy from municipal waste, residual waste and commercial waste from industrial production. Its services range from the delivery of main components up to the erection of turnkey power plants as an EPC contractor.

Last year Standardkessel Baumgarte received an order for the completion of a sewage sludge mono-incineration plant in Karlsruhe.

The company started the sale of sewage sludge mono-incineration systems only recently, but this area is now expanding rapidly.

The city of Karlsruhe already operates a two-line sewage sludge incineration plant. In incineration line 1, the entire fresh sludge accumulating in the sewage treatment plant as well as the digested sewage sludge of the surrounding municipalities is currently disposed of. The old No. 1 plant was already intended to be shut down five years ago to be renewed and replaced by incineration line 2. To continue to secure the waste disposal order for the sewage treatment plant, rapid commissioning of incineration line 2 is necessary.

Standardkessel Baumgarte is currently carrying out the order for the completion and commissioning of line 2.

Steam generators

Last year Standardkessel Baumgarte also received a major order for the supply of two identical steam generators and ancillary trades from Siemens Gas and Power. The steam generators are for two gas and steam turbine plants (combined cycle plants) that are to be constructed.at Evonik’s power plant complex at Marl Chemical Plant.

The Marl Chemical Park is one of the largest chemical plant locations in Germany and Evonik’s biggest production location. Evonik and other well-known companies in the chemicals industry operate approximately 100 production plants there.

The combined cycle plants will replace the last coal-fired power plant at the complex. It will produce electricity and steam in cogeneration based on natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas and ensure the economical, ecological and future-proof recycling of various residual gases from the chemical production facilities.

The new power plant units are linked to existing plants in such a manner in the event of the failure or standstill of individual power plants an uninterrupted supply of steam for the chemical part is guaranteed.

The Power Plant division of Standardkessel Baumgarte GmbH is also currently fulfilling an order for the supply of four steam genera-

tors with ancillary trades to STEAG GmbH as part of a comprehensive modernisation project at the Gelsenkirchen refinery of Ruhr Oel GmbH Raffinerie, the wholly owned subsidiary of BP.

The aim is to integrate the new steam supply into the existing refinery and to design it with redundancy so that the reliable supply of the medium steam is ensured at all times. With the planned new steam generating plants, including the ancillary plants, the current reliability of steam supply is to be clearly exceeded and the use of flares is to be reduced. All four steam generators are due to be commissioned by August 2021.

enhanced management team

Last summer Standardkessel Baumgarte’s management team was strengthened by a new managing director, Dr. Christian Storm. Dr Storm joined the existing managing directors, Dr. Siegfried Scholz and Frank Reinmöller, in managing all the company’s operations in Duisburg, Bielefeld and Hamburg and in implementing the company’s international growth course.

Dr. Christian Storm had gained many years of experience and expertise in this sector of industry. Before his move to Standardkessel Baumgarte, he worked in different management positions for 14 years.

The enlargement of the management team is designed to help the company to serve its core markets with the usual high quality standards and at the same time to further develop its international growth strategy over the long-term. n

“We are pleased to have gained, in Dr. Storm, an experienced leadership personality, who makes use of his experience for the development of our company and the implementation of the strategic goals.” says Jörg Klasen, CEO of the Standardkessel Baumgarte Group.
