The delivery includes the design, manufacture and supply of a biomass fuel handling system for recycled wood chips. The system consists of receiving, screening, storage and biomass feeding to boiler silos. BMH Technology has long traditions and a wide reference base in delivering demanding fuel handling systems for wood-based solid biomass to power plants as well as to pulp and paper mills, and this delivery will strengthen BMH Technology’s position in the South Korean market.
