Metso’s valves will be used in conjunction with the Kilpilahti power plant’s three different boiler units to control the power plant’s process flows. Optimally selected, reliable valve solutions enable efficient and safe energy production at low costs and with minimal environmental impacts.
The new, combined heat and power plant will generate 450 megawatts of steam and 30 megawatts of electricity. The plant, jointly owned by Neste, Borealis and Veolia, is planned to be commissioned in 2018.
The delivery is included in Metso’s third quarter 2016 orders received. The value of the order is not disclosed. Metso’s valves will be delivered as a part of Valmet Corporation’s boiler delivery for the project.
The delivery to Kilpilahti Power Plant will include about 150 on-off and control valves, representing the new product versions of Metso’s recognized Neles® and Jamesbury product brands.
The majority of the valves to be delivered to Kilpilahti Power Plant will be manufactured at Metso’s technology and production center in Vantaa, Finland. The unit specializes in designing and implementing demanding valve solutions for the oil and gas industry, among others.
