City heater, regional employer The Seinäjoki Power plant is located on the shores of Lake Kyrkösjärvi. The efficient cogeneration plant uses local renewable biofuels and energy peat as fuel. The plant generates electricity and district heating, which covers up to 90% of the needs of the city of Seinäjoki. Seinäjoen Voima is owned by EPV Energia Oy . Local energy from swamps and forests Fuel is sourced from several entrepreneurs in the province, within a radius of about 100 kilometers from the plant. The direct employment effect of the power plant is up to 265 person-years per year. At the same time, about EUR 25 million is transferred to the regional economy every year. Seinäjoki power plant fuels • Forest chips • Wood industry by-products • Recycled wood • Energy peat One third of Finland's land area is peatland, of which about 0.6 per cent is in energy peat production. Peat covers one-fifth of the country's district heating needs and 6-7% of all energy consumption. In other words, one million Finns enjoy the heat produced by peat in their homes, schools and workplaces. Peat is also one of the most important fuels at the Seinäjoki power plant. Environmental investment for decades The Seinäjoki power plant uses circulating fluidization technology, which has a lower amount of nitrogen oxides in the boiler than other technologies. Due to the low sulfur content of domestic fuels, no separate desulphurisation is required. Particulate emissions from flue gases are minimized with efficient electrostatic precipitators. Certified systems in use and an energy efficiency agreement Seinäjoen Voima noudattaa ISO 14001:2015 -ympäristöjärjestelmän standardia sekä ETJ+ Energiatehokkuusjärjestelmää. Järjestelmien tavoitteena on ohjata ja tukea toimintaa kohti jatkuvan parantamisen periaatetta. Molemmat järjestelmät ovat sertifioituja ja nykyiset sertifikaatit ovat voimassa ympäristöjärjestelmän osalta 20.12.2018-19.12.2021 ja energiatehokkuusjärjestelmän osalta 6.12.2018-5.12.2021. Sertifioitujen järjestelmien lisäksi voimalaitoksella on käytössä vapaaehtoinen energiatehokkuussopimus. Voimalaitoksen tekniset tiedot Kattila: Kiertoleijupetikattila, luonnonkierto ja välitulistin Polttoaineet: Puubiomassa, energiaturve Rikinpoisto: Ei tarvita turve- ja biopolttoainekäytössä Typenpoisto: Erillistä typenpoistoa ei tarvita Turbiini: lauhdeturbiini, jossa on säädetty väliotto kaukolämpöä varten Sähköteho (netto): 120 MW Kaukolämpöteho: 100 MW Sähkötuotanto: 0,4–0,8 TWh/a Kaukolämpötuotanto: 350–450 GWh/a Sivutuotteiden käsittely The ash generated as a by-product of the power plant process (20,000 t / a) is utilized 100% as a building material. Ash is used to replace and save natural materials as it is lightweight, load-bearing, frost-free and cost-effective.
