Petro Bio AB

For the biogas upgrade plant in Gasendal, Göteborg Energi needs increased heat capacity and chooses to purchase the new gas boiler from Petro. For the new boiler, Petro delivers its proprietary PMES gas burner including gas train and boiler control. The new boiler will supply 1.5MW of heat. Scheduled deployment is November 1, 2018.

Skanska's road to sustainable asphalt production continues together with Petro. At two asphalt mixing plants, Skanska converts its production to run on pine oil pitch instead of fossil oil. Pine oil pitch is a residual product in the production of pulp. It is to be considered a rather "difficult" bio-oil. It needs to be heated to about 110 degrees during combustion and it must be at least 65 degrees when stored. It is also very aggressive so all parts that come into contact with the oil must be in stainless steal.

Without demand for neither steam nor compressed air and with low oil pressure, Petro Low Pressure Air Burner is a very good choice for pine oil pitch. It is also robust enough to handle the difficult environment of an asphalt mixing plant without any problems.

Petro has developed a whole product line for pine oil pitch, all the way from storage, via pump and heating unit to the burner. The entire system is specially designed to handle aggressive and thick oils like pine oil pitch.

The Belgian company VYNCKE NV has been synonymous with high quality biomass boilers for more than a hundred years. Through the acquisition of Swedish PetroBio they expand their portfolio of solutions for their customers’ energy needs.

Up to this date VYNCKE has delivered biomass fueled installations to 85 countries. The heart of their deliveries is the self-developed stepgrate. PetroBio are specialized in flame combustion. They have burners for all types of fuels and their competence within wood dust combustion is unique in the world. The base for PetroBio’s activities is the Nordic market.

“The merger of our companies provides completely unique possibilities of positive exchange. We complement each other both product- and market wise, with very little overlap. We are looking forward to an exciting cooperation and the expansion of our customer offer”, states Johanna Lindén CEO of Petro Bio AB.

PetroBio will continue to operate as an independent sister company within the existing group of VYNCKE companies. Transfer of ownership took place on the 31st of Januari 2018.

“We welcome PetroBio into the family of VYNCKE companies and look forward to gain access to their burner expertise. This will add an important dimension to our total customer offer”, states Dieter Vyncke joint owner and CEO.

New gas burner to the harbor of Skarvik

Göteborg Energy chose to let Petro deliver and install a new gas burner to the boiler house in the harbor of Skarvik. The choice fell on the newly developed PMES dual fuel burner. It is designed to use oil and gas as fuel. In this case installed as a clean gas burner. The delivery included PMES burner, complete gas train and new boiler control. Everything including assembly and commissioning.

The burner gives in the delivered version 3MW

Petro Bio AB has been chosen as a supplier to Akademiska Hus / Chalmers University of Technology and their new biofuel boiler. The boiler plant will be used as a research boiler with the ability to produce electricity via turbine and district heating via condenser. The boiler is a 40Bar specially designed boiler and will be fired with wood powder, bio oil, LPG and a product gas from nearby boiler 1. The technology level of delivery is generally very high and Petro was chosen as a total supplier, motivating "the technical standard of the plant far exceeds what is demanded". The assembly work will be carried out in mid 2018 and the plant will eventually be handed over to the customer during the first quarter of 2019. As a supplier of boiler and pressure vessels, Petro has chosen Boiler Works. They were mainly chosen for their approach to providing a boiler that fits the purpose of research very well. It is with pride and inspiration that Petro will take on the task of delivering the boiler plant to Akademiska hus.

By Skanska Industrial Solution AB, PetroBio has received the honor of converting their asphalt plants to renewable fuels. Three new facilities will be completed in the autumn. Petro supplies and installs new multi fuel burners and complete fuel management including control systems.

The equipment is delivered packaged in standard marine containers. This will minimize installation time on site.

Babcock & Wilcox Völund have won there third major contract for a biomass facility in the UK: a 40MWe waste wood biomass plant in Teesside including 15 years of operation and maintenance.

They have signed a contract for the delivery, operation and maintenance of a third major biomass facility, located in Teesside near Middlesbrough, on behalf of Glennmont Partners.

The biomass facility will be capable of using waste wood as fuel and will be generating 40MW of renewable energy.

The 40MWe scheme follows on from the biomass projects at Margam, Port Talbot in South Wales, signed in January 2015, and the Templeborough project in Rotherham, signed in March 2015. These schemes, when operational, will contribute 120MW of renewable energy in support of the growing need to develop and provide renewable energy in the UK.

For each of the facilities Völund has ordered two Petro Lance burners of 40MW per piece. That is the biggest lance burner ever delivered by Petro. With a swing out design and a protective door Petro Lance burner is very well suited for the harsh environment in a waste incineration plant.
