Creating green, COâ‚‚-neutral energy from biomass requires the highest levels of efficiency. The goal of each industrial power plant is to increase operational profits by increasing income or decreasing cost. One efficient way to increase operational profit is to extract as much natural energy as possible out of the available residual biomass, whether that energy is for the own production itself or steam and power to be sold to the grid. By choosing and using the right equipment, manufacturers can reap huge financial rewards and feel good about running a sustainable operation that is fit for the future. Cogeneration (CHP) – the ability to create two forms of energy from a single fuel source – has many benefits, both on a local and global level. Siemens has delivered various solutions for a wide range of purposes and applications as Food & Beverage, Metals & Mining or Pulp & Paper. Whether for a small sugar plant or a large petrochemical refinery, best-fitting and easily maintainable steam turbine solutions, that meet customer needs, increase the productivity by decreasing downtime and resulting in lower costs via more efficient usage of available biomass for steam and power generation needed for manufacturing processes. This paper will show how modern industrial steam turbine power plants meet the real customer requirements by reducing operational cost, increasing reliability and creating valuable economic benefit. Additionally, it will show the environmental impact of increased efficiency and reduced green house gas emissions as well as the operational benefit of supporting the national grid especially in remote locations.
