Furthermore, ANDRITZ provides robust power generation technologies for commercial businesses to set up their own power islands. As a global supplier of proven biomass processing solutions, the company is blazing the trail in green energy production. With ANDRITZ, all types of biomass can be effectively processed, conveyed, stored, and fed to the power generation systems. The company also offers a comprehensive scope of process machinery ranging from biomass receiving to boiler silo feeding. The power boilers offered by ANDRITZ produce steam from the biomass, employing proven and modern techniques to generate power while significantly reducing emissions.

Among the many innovations of ANDRITZ, the most notable is the development of a robotic solution for harsh environments. Especially in powerplants, the boilers' smelt spout area has always posed a threat to manual cleaners, many of whom have often been injured by the hot splashes and small explosions. Recognising the danger of working in the recovery boiler smelt spout area, a combined team of experts from ANDRITZ decided to design a smart robotic solution called the Smelt Spout Cleaning System. The robots are placed in front of the smelt spouts. They are equipped with positioning sensors that enable effective and automated cleaning of the solidified smelt with a specially designed tool. Further, the working area of the robots is isolated from the personnel. Access to the area requires permission, and whenever operators enter the space, the robots are driven into standby mode.

This is one of the many success stories that have propelled ANDRITZ to where it stands today in the power generation space. With the rise in demand for renewable energy, ANDRITZ’s comprehensive suite of solutions will steer it ahead of the competition across the globe. The company is already investing in upgrading its technologies to promote a safe and clean power generation environment. ANDRITZ is on the fast track to redefine the energy sector into a promising, clean, reliable, and efficient power supply realm.
