Hanwha Corporation Machinery in Korea, a plant manufacturer and member of the Hanwha Group, has been commissioned by SY Energy to plan and set up a wood-pellet factory with an annual capacity of 300,000 tonnes in Jincheon / Korea.
Büttner has been commissioned with realising the drying and dryer-heating processes that are able to handle a capacity of 40 t/h dry material.
This is being implemented with a single-path drum dryer sized 5.0 x 24 R, which achieves a water-evaporation capacity of 35 t/h and uses cyclones for material separation as well as ash cyclones for flue-gas cleaning.
The heat is to be supplied by a Büttner energy plant possessing a reciprocating grate and a total combustion capacity of more than 36 MW.
A contributing decisive factor in this order being placed was the fact that Büttner is, as the one-stop supplier, able to deliver both the dryer and energy plant and so provide an integrated control concept that links both parts of the process in the best way possible.
