COGENERATION: Cogen’s the natural way to go

With mills being large-scale consumers of electricity, both electrical and heat energy represent an important part of the cost of operation. Cogeneration is an extremely cost-efficient means of generating thermodynamic energy, in this case from the waste fuel source which is a by-product of the normal mill operation. In the Windsor mill, the bark biomass is burned in a boiler, generating steam which drives the turbine with multiple steam extractions to provide high and low pressure steam for the process requirements.
