Camrose County Office Complex

Camrose County Office Complex

Single Building Conversion

A state of the art "Demonstration Biomass Heating Module"

The biomass demonstration project for the "Centre in the Park" district heating energy system uses agriculture residues (such as oat hulls) as well as wood waste (from the commercial and construction and demolition sector) as a base-load fuel source. The system uses natural gas during peak seasons and as a back up fuel source.
The mobile fuel storage solution allows processing and filling of the fuel bins off-site, which significantly reduces noise emissions from the operation.

Vanderwell Contracors Sawmill

Vanderwell Contracors Sawmill

Combined Heat & Power Plant, Slave Lake

A 3.6 MWel Combined Heat & Power Plant - First its kind in Alberta

Vanderwell is currently building a modern biomass fired power plant, in order to improve the general economics, as well as the carbon-footprint of its operation by introducing this alternative energy solution for the high and growing energy requirements, as well as an efficient and lucrative alternative to manage low end residual wood wastes. The system will burn bark residues with a high moisture content of up to 70%.
The technical design of the power plant incorporates an extraction turbine, which allows power production with variable heat outputs. It enables a variable extraction of steam at an intermediate pressure and temperature level for heat/steam utilization.
Our assessment had included the economic outlook of adding a drying kiln conversion component to the ongoing project.
