Polish breakthrough for
   Opcon Bioenergy
Opcon Bioenergy has received its first order from Poland for waste heat recycling equipment. The order covers delivery to the Olczyk sawmill in Swidno, Poland, of a flue gas condenser with a treatment system which will improve the energy efficiency of the sawmill’s existing driers.
“This is a marvellous export success story for Swedish environmental technology. With our technology the sawmill can utilize the waste heat in the flue gases and thereby save energy equivalent to heating for 1,000 homes. The improvement in energy efficiency means that the sawmill can reduce its fuel consumption and thus cut emissions significantly. Meanwhile we clean the flue gases and achieve a big reduction in emissions of particles,” says Claes Scheibe, Managing Director of Opcon Bioenergy AB.
