New Electric Boiler Plant Commissioned at the Heinola Factory!
At Viitos-Metalli, we have once again taken a step towards more energy-efficient and sustainable production by building our own electric boiler plant at our factory in Heinola.
The project was an excellent example of Finnish industrial cooperation:
• Viitos-Metalli was responsible for the mechanical implementation of the plant, including piping, pressure equipment, and installation work.
• Esys Oy delivered the electrical and automation systems.
•Intergrid is responsible for optimizing participation in Fingrid’s reserve markets, enabling the system to support electricity grid balancing.
This solution provides:
• Emission-free and flexible heat production for manufacturing and testing purposes
• Improved energy and cost efficiency
• New business opportunities through participation in electricity reserve markets
