Ørnhoj-Grønbjerg District Heating

New straw plant replaces the use of gas

In 2017 Linka delivered a new straw system for the heating plant in Ørnhøj-Grønbjerg. This will replace the use of gas with CO2 neutral biomass.

Ørnhøj-Grønbjerg District Heating is located in Ørnhøj and supplies around 500 households in both Ornhoj and Gronbjerg.

The biomass plant was installed as a supplement to the existing solar panels, which cannot supply enough heat during winter seasons. Biomass will fuel 70% of the heat production while solar heating will supply around 20%. The remaining 10% will be produced using gas.

The plant

Linka delivered and commissioned a full boiler sy-stem with a 1,500 kW Linka H boiler designed for straw combustion. The two extra passes, in the 5-pass boiler, ensures higher efficiencies and savings on fuel.

A Linka double shredder is installed in the straw storage. The 30 meter double conveyor can hold 30 bales, and only needs refilling every other day.

This ensures little operating maintenance as the plant is fully automatic, controlled and monitored by a PLC control system. By installing a bag filter the flue gas is cleaned, thus reducing dust from the plant and ensuring better valu-es on emission.
