1500m³ Biomass Fuel Storage Bunker

Nelson Pine Industries Ltd, Richmond, Nelson, New Zealand

Nelson Pine Industries Ltd is the largest MDF plant in the World. A major expansion to include a Laminated Veneer Lumber Plant (LVL) on the same site in 2001 required an additional 20 MW Easteel Energy Plant and additional fuel storage.

Brightwater Engineers designed, built and commissioned a 1500m3 capacity Saxlund International push floor bunker. Fully automated, the bunker feeds the 20 MW Easteel Energy Plant with wood waste fuel at a rate of up to 50 m3 per hour.

Shavings Storage

McAlpines Ltd, Rangiora, New Zealand

McAlpines were already dumping wood shavings and the new planer mill they had purchased would increase this waste. It was decided to use the shavings as bio-fuel in the energy plant, in turn reducing the consumption of coal on site.

In association with Windsor Engineering Group, who supplied the shavings extraction and conveying system, BEL offered a 275 m3 storage silo complete with discharge screw. This would store the shavings and supply them as required to the boiler fuel feed system.

Biomass Fuel Handling System

Pan Pac Forest Products LTD, Whirinaki, Napier

During 2001-2002, Pan Pac Forest Products Ltd installed a 36MW Easteel Bubbling Fluid Bed (BFB) Boiler. Pan Pac required a Fuel Handling system to store and deliver fuel for the new boiler.

The Fuel Handling and Management System designed, supplied, installed and commissioned by Brightwater comprises equipment to separately store and reclaim coarse woodwaste as the primary fuel for the boiler and a shavings handling and storage system.

Fuel Management System

CHH Pine Panels, Oberon, NSW, Australia

The new fuel managment system and heatplant were required to replace a thermal oil heater system that had been completely destroyed by fire in 2000.

The equipment installed by Brightwater included coarse fuel screening, dust screening, a fully enclosed dry fuel push floor bunker and a 90 cubic metre capacity elevated mixed fuel surge bunker situated close to the boiler plant.

MDF Board Inspection Line

Nelson Pine Industries LTD, Richmond, New Zealand

Nelson Pine Industries Ltd is a world leader in the manufacture of Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF). The company produces 400,000m3 of MDF panels per year in 168 size multiples. The board inspection operation required MDF board to feed though the system at 40 metres per minute.

Brightwater Engineers designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned the fully automatic board inspection and packaging system to meet the demands of the plant.

Veneer Line and LVL Press

Nelson Pine Industries LTD, Richmond, New Zealand

Nelson Pine Industries Ltd is a world leader in the manufacture of Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF). In 2000, NPIL announced the establishment of $80,000,000 in a Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) production facility.

Brightwater Engineers was awarded a single contract in 2 stages to carry out the mechanical installation and commissioning of the Veneer Line, Drier and Waste Handling equipment in the Veneer Building, and the Scarfer, LVL Layup, Press and Billet Handling Equipment in the LVL Building. The total scope of work involved over 40,000 man hours with a peak labour force of 35 Trades persons.

Laminex MDF Plant

Gympie, Queensland Australia

Laminex MDF plant near Gympie, Queensland Australia, required the replacement of their existing G1 Heat Energy Plant, which has been in production over 20 years. The new heat energy plant had to be engineered to have a design life of 20 years, and would require being in production 360 days a year, 24 hours a day, with a target uptime of 99%.

Fuel Management System

CHH Pine Panels, Oberon, NSW, Australia

The new fuel managment system and heatplant were required to replace a thermal oil heater system that had been completely destroyed by fire in 2000.

The equipment installed by Brightwater included coarse fuel screening, dust screening, a fully enclosed dry fuel push floor bunker and a 90 cubic metre capacity elevated mixed fuel surge bunker situated close to the boiler plant.
