#Commissioning activities at our energy recovery plant in Willebroek are progressing. The steam generator has been successfully boiled out. The milestone ✅ of first steam blowing has been reached. But 🤔, why are we generating clouds of water in this project phase? Steam blowing 💨 is a cleaning method where the energy & speed of steam is used to remove physical impurities from boiler parts and the interconnecting piping. Even minor 🔎 impurities could damage steam turbine blades or cause corrosion during operation. The boil-out condensate containing cleaning agents has been collected and disposed of properly. Milestones reached & ahead: ✅ Start of steam blowing (Callens-Vyncke & Mecwide) 🔜 First fire combusting syngas (Callens-Vyncke) 🔜 Commissioning of the flue gas treatment (LUEHR FILTER GmbH) 🔜 First synchronization of the steam turbine (TGM Kanis Turbinen GmbH) Many thanks 👏 to everyone involved. The safe & successful commissioning until start of operation of the energy recovery plant at Imerys is a joint effort 💪 to be continued #together ... #EONEnergyInfrastructureSolutions #EnergyTransition #Teamwork #Energy
