Veolia in Łódź, Poland tackled two major CHP plant challenges: managing generational change among operators and optimizing boiler operations. Valmet’s DNA Combustion Manager now ensures reliable fuel combustion data, supporting both process optimization and operational reliability.
The Swedish energy company Göteborg Energi had an ambitious target: by 2025, all district heating in the city should be fully recovered and renewable. Now, the target has been achieved!
In early 2025, Valmet delivered its first visible thermal camera to a plant in the sugarcane industry. The system was installed at COFCO International’s facility in Brazil to monitor the boiler bed and provide real-time flame information. The new system enables more stable combustion and efficient startups while reducing maintenance effort through automatic cleaning and built-in protection.
Converting an existing circulating fluidized bed boiler from coal to biomass firing takes the Koehler Group a step closer to meeting its climate targets. Valmet was chosen to deliver the conversion because of our energy industry expertise and strong references.
Did you know that a carbon capture plant should include integrated flue gas pre-treatment for optimal performance? Valmet’s pre-treatment solution removes impurities and recovers energy – ensuring reliable and efficient CO2 capture.
FCC Environment’s operations and maintenance teams needed better insight into their turbine automation controls, as the old system functioned like a “black box.” Integrating the turbine into the existing Valmet DNA Automation system provided clear visibility and enabled more proactive maintenance.
Infrared camera technology at E.ON’s Blackburn Meadows biomass plant enables real-time furnace monitoring, helping detect ash and slag buildup early to boost boiler efficiency and performance.
The Valmet Energy R&D Center – the only one of its kind worldwide – enables energy producers to take circularity and resource efficiency to the next level, and extend their fuel portfolio towards cheaper and more sustainable fuels.
MVV’s Ridham Dock Facility in Sittingbourne, Kent, UK, invested in a Valmet DNA Grate Boiler Optimizer application and a visible thermal camera to increase waste throughput and improve plant performance.
