Electric Steam for Borregaard’s Biorefinery in Norway

Steam for Advanced Biorefinery Operations

Borregaard operates one of the world’s most advanced and sustainable biorefineries. From its site in Sarpsborg, the company produces biochemicals and biomaterials based on natural, renewable raw materials.

Borregaard’s products are used in many different industries, including agriculture, construction, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, batteries and biofuels. This type of production depends on reliable industrial infrastructure, including access to stable steam capacity.

The new boiler is designed for operation at 11 kV and 38 barg, with a design pressure of 45 barg. The delivery will provide high-pressure steam capacity for Borregaard’s production processes and form part of the site’s overall steam infrastructure.

Project overview:

Electric Steam in Process Industry

For industrial sites with high steam demand, electric boiler technology can provide flexible and efficient steam production. PARAT’s high-voltage electrode boilers are developed for applications where reliability, fast response and precise control are important.

For PARAT, the Borregaard project shows how electric steam technology can be used in established process industry with high demands for steam, reliability and control.
