The Unicon Biograte is a rotating grate with a conical primary combustion chamber. Its fuel input ranges from 3MW to 25MW, or 4 to 37 t/h / boiler.

The Unicon WT 47MW produces district heating for Vantaan Energia’s district heating network and serves as an auxiliary and peak load plant in Vantaa, Finland.

Operation and maintenance agreements guarantee the long-term efficient operation of a plant.

The Unicon Biograte 23 t/h produces hot water and steam for drying kilns of Koskitukki Oy. Koskinen, Finland.

The Unicon WSF92 produces hot water and steam of different parameters for the technological needs of the facility. This is an important role in the destruction of chemical weapons.

KPA ‘s Unicon Pellet 7 MWth is used for district and peak load heating at the Savon Voima Oyj plant in Lapinlahti, Finland.

PlantSys is a system for controlling and monitoring a boiler plant.

Unicon biogrates, Citius, Altius and Fortius, are boiler island solutions for power plants.

Boiler Island Solutions

Unicon Biograte Citius, Unicon Biograte Altius and Unicon Biograte Fortius are boiler island solutions for power plants.

The three solutions produce electricity in the range of 2,5MWe to 10MWe, which ensures that steam production capacities and steam parameters are optimised for each project.

Our boiler island solutions are designed for sustainable energy generation, focusing on flexible utilisation of local renewable fuels, as well as innovative technologies and lifetime services.The solutions are high modularised and prefabricated, which makestransportation easy and the installation time at the site is short.

Citius Unicon Boigrate has a steam production capacity of 10MWth to 14 MWth, a steam pressure of 32 bar and an average steam temperature of 450ºC.

The Altius Unicon Biograte features a steam production capacity between 18MWth and 22 MWthSteam, an average pressure of 66bar, and a steam temperature of 480ºC.

Our Fortius Unicon Biograte operates with a standard steam pressure of 66bar, a steam temperature of 480ºC, and steam production capacity typically of 36MWth to 44 MWth.

Module-structure boiler plants

KPA Unicon boiler plants can be manufactured as module types. The modules are pre-assembled and tested at the workshop in Finland. They are dimensioned so that they can be transported by rail, sea or road. At the site, the modules are installed side-by-side and the plant is ready for commissioning. The module structure minimises the delivery time of the plant.

Boiler plant services

The company offers services for its own install base and also to other boiler plants. When KPA Unicon takes responsibility for operation and maintenance, customers can focus on their core business instead of the operation of their energy production units.

Plant monitoring systems

PlantSys is a plant monitoring system, enabling remote assistance and remote control according to customer needs, via the internet. End customers use PlantSys as plant automation control system or contract operation monitoring as a separate service.
