Reheat Steam Turbines to Power Biomass Plants

Biomass is an extremely valuable source of energy, since it is defined as CO₂-neutral and a renewable energy source. As available resources are limited, maximum utilization of the fuel is very important and the technologies to be applied have to be efficient, reliable and cost-effective.

Biomass-fueled Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants are an excellent solution to increase power output without burdening the environment. Driven by economic considerations and the need for uninterrupted power supply, our steam turbine technology has been fine-tuned to harmonize with this plant concept.

The biomass power plant in Malchin, Germany, operates with Siemens’ industrial steam turbines (SST-600).
