Five years of reliable steam production at Norsk Kylling

A robust and flexible steam solution for Norsk Kylling’s modern production facility in Orkanger

Stable steam production is essential in modern food production. For Norsk Kylling, the new facility in Orkanger was developed with high ambitions for efficient and sustainable production, and the boiler plant had to support these goals from day one.

PARAT delivered a complete boiler plant designed for reliable steam supply, with an electric boiler as the plant’s main steam source and a gas-fired boiler as backup.

After five years in operation, Norsk Kylling shares its experience with the solution — from stable daily performance to flexibility, reliable follow-up and long-term value.

Built for reliable production

Norsk Kylling had clear ambitions for its new facility in Orkanger: to build a future-oriented, energy-efficient and highly reliable food production plant, with strong focus on sustainability, animal welfare and operational performance.

For a facility of this scale, stable access to steam is essential. The boiler plant had to support demanding production processes, ensure predictable operation and contribute to Norsk Kylling’s long-term goals.

When selecting a supplier, Norsk Kylling was looking for a long-term partner with technical expertise, relevant experience and the ability to understand their operational needs.

A complete boiler plant

PARAT delivered a complete boiler plant tailored to Norsk Kylling’s operations.

The delivery included a 10 MW, 22 kV, 16 barg PARAT High Voltage Electrode Boiler, a gas-fired steam boiler with a capacity of 8 t/h, and a 12 MW gas-fired hot water boiler.

The system also included a 175 m³ steam accumulator, a 10 m³ degassing tank, a Reverse Osmosis unit, heat exchangers, circulation and feed water pumps, as well as complete installation of pipework and control system.

The electric boiler supplies steam to the factory and serves as the plant’s main boiler, with a gas-fired boiler as backup.

Together, these components form a robust and flexible boiler plant that supports stable operation, efficient production and long-term reliability.

A long-term partnership

For Norsk Kylling, the project was about more than boilers and technical equipment. The company needed a partner who could understand its operation, tailor the solution to its requirements and provide reliable support from planning through to daily operation.

After five years of operation, Norsk Kylling highlights not only the technical performance of the boiler plant, but also the value of having a supplier that takes responsibility, provides consistent follow-up and delivers on its commitments.

“We would without hesitation choose PARAT again.”
