Project description

The delivery includes project management, engineering, procurement, manufacturing and replacement of an economizer for a waste-to-energy boiler (Line 1) in Uppsala, Sweden. Also included in the project was to replace panel walls including cladding with Inconel® 625 on site.

  • The following was included in the scope:
  • Left and right sidewall for 2nd pass
  • Roof for 2nd pass
  • Rear wall for 2nd pass
  • Economizer
  • Connection tubes
  • Inconel cladding

During 2015 the panel walls and economizer were replaced. The econimizer was delivered in 26 sections. A temporary steel structure was built and placed next to the crane for pre-assembly of the economizer sections.

In addition to the economizer replacement, approximately 150 m2 of Inconel-cladded panel walls and screen tubes were installed in the 3rd pass. All panels were lowered through the roof of the boiler house.
