worldwide, but our core know-how relies on the competence of our Finnish engineers.” The Raumaster portfolio includes deliveries to locations from South Africa to Northern Finland and Japan. “Asia is an interesting market for us, and during recent years we have delivered a myriad of different systems into Asian countries,” said Mr Bergman. “One of the largest deliveries we’ve done was for the Samcheok Green Power Plant in South Korea. Samcheok Plant has four boilers with a capacity of 4x550 MWe. Coal is used as the primary and biomass as the secondary fuel.” Another reference point is the fuel processing system of Fortum’s Värtan, co-owned by Stockholm city power plant in Stockholm, Sweden. Mr Bergman commented, “The specifics of this project include the fact that the entirety of the fuel storage is situated underground, and fuel is received from ships, rail and trucks. We delivered the whole fuel processing system for this project, including devices for the internal processing of fuel, and the systems for processing fly ash, lime and sand.” Raumaster Oy – Finland

“We have completed over 3,300 advanced material handling projects globally. Additionally, thanks to the close co-operation with our customers, these projects have taught us more than we could have ever imagined. “Our core expertise relies heavily on the processing of biomass and bio- based fuels, which can be supplied to power boilers. So, we’re working with renewable energy. We make deliveries, and maintain plants

Since its founding, the company has listened to customers’ needs carefully in order to develop a comprehensive design and service process. “We concentrate on delivering reliable processes and turnkey deliveries to our customers,” stated CEO John Bergman. “It is typical that our previous customers return to us when they have new delivery
