Standardkessel Baumgarte supplied a turnkey biomass plant in Speyside (Scotland). By burning residual wood from the local commercial forestry operations, up to 12.5 MW of electricity is being supplied onto the public grid. In addition, the plant supplies 9 MW of process steam directly to the nearby Macallan distillery.

Standardkessel Baumgarte used their air-cooled moving grate and boiler technology to give a wide firing range and with only simple fuel pre-treatment. The use of the robust firing and boiler concept ensures high reliability for continuous generation to meet the requirements of the electricity and heat demand.

After successful design, supply, construction and commissioning, as EPC contractor, Standardkessel Baumgarte was able to fulfil all requirements of the authorities, and deliver the turnkey plant to the customer for successful operation.
