Latvia

In eastern Latvia, district heating provider Rezekne relies on Austrian quality: two BINDER biomass boilers, each with a rated output of 7 MW, are supporting the gradual transition from natural gas to local biomass. They produce heat and hot water for around 40,000 residents and numerous public buildings.

In addition to wood chips, bark, small branches and needles with a water content of up to 55% are also used as biomass. A generously dimensioned burning chamber with precise and versatile control technology was designed for this purpose in order to optimally adapt the burning process to different biomass qualities. Each boiler has its own biomass supply, hydraulic and compressed air cleaning system, allowing them to be operated independently and flexibly. The boilers generate 105 °C hot water at 6 bar pressure and currently operate in parallel with the existing natural gas boilers.
