Amec Foster Wheeler has won a contract for the design, supply and construction of a new steam generating combined heat and power plant in Poland.
The company said commercial operation of the plant is expected to start by the end of 2018 and has the potential to provide heat to around 70,000 households.
The plant, which was commissioned by Fortum Zbarze will be built in southern Poland.
Gary Nedelka, group president of Amec Foster Wheeler’s global power group,said: “This is the second CFB project we have supplied to Fortum in Poland and another demonstration of the fuel flexibility of our CFBs.
“Our units are capable of firing nearly all solid fuels – including waste products that otherwise would have been land-filled.”
The new plant will replace the outdated existing coal-fired units in Zabrze and nearby city of Bytom.
The plant will be 220 megawatts (MW) with a maximum production capacity of 145MW for heating and 75MW for electricity generation.
