Abstract
Tokai Pulp Ltd sets up a mill at Shimada city located almost middle in Shizuoka prefecture. This Shimada Mill reaches 100 th anniversary in next year and manufactures paper and pulp mainly. Much electric power and steam is necessary for the manufacturing process of paper & pulp. The necessary electric power was generated at its own power plants ; a hydroelectric power plant and thermal power plants and it bought the shortage of it from Chubu Electric Power Co., so far. The steam was generated by its own some boilers ; heavy oil fired boiler, soda recovery boiler and waste fired boiler, so far.
We planed biomass boiler power plant in order to reduce a mount of exhaust CO2 and a cost of energy among the social trend to stop green house effect and to realize Society with an Environmentally-Sound Material Cycle. We started to construct No. 11 Boiler⁄No. 5 steam turbine generation plant whose fuels are wood biomass and RPF at May in 2005, completed it at January in 2006. The introduction of this plant realized the conversion from fossil fuels to biomass fuels and can achieve the initial purpose.
In the report, we describe the outline of biomass boiler plant operated from February in 2006 and the operational experience.
