By offering a complete range of proprietary, complementary technology under one roof, HoSt establishes itself as a comprehensive turnkey supplier, ensuring all-encompassing solutions for renewable energy generation and valuable end-product creation from residual flows.
Sustainable energy for the paper industry
The paper industry worldwide faces a crucial challenge: ensuring energy security and competitiveness in a market with highly fluctuating energy prices, while at the same time increasing pressure to drastically reduce its carbon footprint. This energy sector is looking for a structural solution to end its dependence on fossil fuels and manage its own waste streams (such as paper sludge and recycling rejects) sustainably.
Implementing a RDF-fired combined heat and power plant
HoSt offers proven technology that addresses this problem: by implementing a RDF-fired combined heat and power plant (CHP), factories can use their own waste stream, for which disposal would otherwise incur high fees, as primary fuel and thus generate renewable energy locally. The resulting electricity and steam are efficiently reused in their own processes, leading to a significant reduction in fossil fuel consumption, lower operating costs, and a major leap forward towards circular production.
Case Study
At the Vrancart cardboard mill, HoSt implemented a 15 MWth / 1.8 MWe CHP facility. The plant utilizes paper sludge and recycling rejects to deliver 18.5 tons of process steam per hour, successfully halving the factory’s natural gas consumption and creating a fully circular production loop.
HoSt’s innovative design: Industry leading in both efficiency and low emissions
HoSt’s innovative design guarantees high availability of the installation, ensuring an economically attractive Return on Investment (ROI). The system has a unique and patented design in which the furnace and boiler are built in a modular way and placed side by side. This design allows for a low construction height (roof height < 20 m) and good accessibility for maintenance. HoSt offers the lowest emission technology available in the industry, with emission guarantees that comply with the Industrial Emission Directive and new BREF limits. In addition, the complete control of the furnace allows for a wide variety of fuels. This is made possible thanks to techniques such as Staged Combustion, and Flue Gas Recirculation.
