Fast growing bioenergy company SRE's largest export order to date worth SEK 22
million

Svensk Rökgasenergi (SRE) a subsidiary of Opcon AB, the energy and environmental
technology Group, has today secured its largest export order and the largest
ever order to the district heating plant sector. The end customer is the French
company Dalkia which operates the Vilnius district heating plant, Vilnius
Energija. SRE will supply two complete flue gas condensing installations with
two condensers, four filters and four water treatment systems, in order to raise
efficiency during biomass powering. The boiler capacity amounts to 60 MW. The
order is worth SEK 22 million for SRE and shall be delivered during 2009.   
- “This is the largest export order for SRE to date and a testimony to the
success of our active internationalization work. However, it also demonstrates
that our strategic choice of supplying modulized products with an advanced
degree of standardization in order to hold down price and safeguard operation
has been successful. Through combining more modules into a larger system we are
now also supplying our standardized products to larger district heating plants”,
says Rolf Hasselström, President and CEO of Opcon AB. 

SRE is part of Opcon's expanding Renewable Energy business area and their
investment in Waste Heat Recovery and Bioenergy, among other areas. SRE supplies
systems for cleaning and improving energy efficiency to biomass-powered district
heating plants, sawmills, pellet producers and commercial greenhouses. However,
they also deliver cleaning equipment to industries and drying systems for
biomass. SRE's product system Renergi is based on heat recycling through flue
gas condensing and means substantially reduced emissions as well as considerable
energy savings where the degree of efficiency in a biomass-powered boiler can be
raised by approximately 25-30 percent, while particle emissions, among other
things, are reduced at the same time.
