Arvika Fjärrvärme AB

Background

The district heating plant in Arvika, owned by Arvika Energi och Miljö, produces district heating primarily from biomass and waste heat. The biomass consists of residual products from nearby forestry operations and sawmills. As part of its sustainability efforts, the plant invested in an ORC turbine powered by hot water from one of its boilers. This initiative not only enables electricity production at the plant but also contributes to reduced climate impact.

Our solution

Againity delivered an automated ORC system with a maximum capacity of 560 kW of electricity production. The ORC system enables electricity generation from the hot water produced by the boiler. Arvika Fjärrvärme AB has chosen to sign a service agreement with Againity to ensure a long lifespan and minimal maintenance.
