Port handling with explosion protection: biomass transport at the port of Copenhagen

Category: renewable energy | | Created by Redaktion

Jules Fricke, former Managing Director of Loibl Förderanlagen GmbH:

“Our individual ship unloading conveyor technology meets all the requirements for industrial biomass handling. These sophisticated systems support our customers in switching to renewable resources."

CHP - Combined Heat and Power Plants. Combined heating and power plants are gaining in importance in connection with the striven fossil-fuel phase-out. Many power plant operators are already reacting to the ambitious climate targets of politics and are gradually converting their systems to renewable energies. The transition process works with combined firing from fossil fuels and renewable raw materials, mainly wood. In the long term, there should be a permanent switch to the combustion of renewable energies. In this phase it needs an experienced partner who reliably supports the energy producers and industrial users with the changeover.

Loibl delivers to Denmark. For HOFOR, the largest supply company in Denmark, Loibl designed an economically efficient, individual solution for the transport of biomass (wood chips) from the port to the incineration plant at the end of 2019. HOFOR supplies around 20% of the entire Danish population with water, heat, electricity and gas.

Our process engineering for a cleaner environment. In the Port of Copenhagen, 3,200 m³/h of biomass are handled daily at the Amagerværket power plant. The amount of dust that arises during loading increases the risk of ignition. With more than 60 years of experience in individually conceptualized bulk materials transport and as a competent partner in the field of fire-endangered and explosive bulk goods, Loibl developed an innovative, ATEX-compliant conveying concept that more than lived up to the expectations of the largest Danish energy supplier.
