our past and future


DP CleanTechs unique history combines many years of technological advancement in Europe with the unrivalled experience and scale benefits gained from designing and operating biomass power plants in China. The resulting comprehensive and holistic expertise in biomass gives DP CleanTech a considerable advantage both in terms of applied design, engineering, manufacturing, procurement, installation and commissioning as well as operational know-how.

2004 Migration East Awakening of biomass power in China.


The DP CleanTech Group Ltd* was founded in 2004 and was the first company in China to study, develop and apply the technology of directly burning biomass to generate electricity and heat. Denmark has long been recognized as a leader in biomass technology; the country converts 80% of its agricultural and forestry waste into power and heat. DP CleanTech saw the potential and set about tackling the massive opportunity presented by China, a country that produces over 800 million tons of biomass annually from agriculture alone, some 320 times the production in Denmark. From modest beginnings, DP CleanTech was setup in Beijing with a small but dedicated team and licensed the advanced biomass technology from Bioener in Denmark. Two years later, the Group put into commercial operation Chinas very first biomass dedicated power plant based on high pressure, high temperature technology. Since then, DP CleanTech has built a new power plant on average every 2 months becoming the largest biomass energy provider in China with 420 MW of installed capacity.
*Between 2004 and 2008 DP CleanTech operated under it sold name Dragon Power.

2007 Global Expansion DP CleanTech accelerating biomass power globally.


In 2007 DP CleanTech acquired Boiler Works in Europe gaining access to the European market and providing the platform to accelerate its deployment in Europe. In 2009 DP CleanTech made its second acquisition in Europe, acquiring Bioener in Denmark to own all the relevant technology and know how. Significant investments in people, technology and manufacturing have resulted in new customers in Europe, China and South East Asia. Now with an expertise and detailed understanding in combustion of over 50 different fuel types DP CleanTech continues to expand its horizons and looks to promote the benefits of high efficiency, stable biomass combustion.

Water cooled vibrating grate


DP CleanTechs water cooled vibrating grate was developed and designed specifically for the combustion of biomass fuels and has proven to be the best combustion system for herbaceous and woody fuels.

Wood fired technology

Improved availability
The water cooled vibrating grate is one of the most reliable combustion grates in the world. The vibration inhibits the formation of large slag particles, liable with straw and waste wood fuels, which makes it suitable for burning fuels with high slagging and sintering propensities. Another advantage is the vibrating equipment has less moving parts than moving grates and thus requires less maintenance.

Improved efficiency
The vibration movement and air distribution system optimizes the combustion process evenly across the grate. The fully automated system is one of the contributing factors to DP CleanTech achieving boiler efficiencies of 9092%.

Wood chip biomass can serve as an excellent fuel for energy production and DP CleanTech has developed its technology to optimize its potential. Woody fuels tend to have higher moisture contents and therefore offer opportunities for further recovery of heat through flue gas condensation. In suitable circumstances DP CleanTechs condensing scrubber has boosted boiler efficiencies to 101%.

Improved fuel flexibility


The vibrating grate is one of few grates able to deal with woody and herbaceous biomass fuel mixtures.

Waste fired technology

The Step Grate


SFAs step grate is the only completely flat combustion grate in the world.

ECO2

ECO1

DP CleanTech has developed its own specific boiler island technology to serve the rapidly growing waste to energy market. The technology is also easily adapted to many forms of process residue.

Improved fuel flexibility


Although capable of low density high calorific fuels like wheat straw, the Step Grate is an extremely efficient combustion platform and ideally handles more difficult fuels like waste wood, peat and municipal solid waste. The step grate is even able to handle metals with low melting points such as aluminum (tin foil, bear cans, etc.) or zinc (galvanized nails, etc.) which may cause problems for the vibration grate.

Improved availability
The Patented water cooled grate plates are used for problematic fuels with a calorific value greater than 12 MJ/kg, this allows our customers to achieve extended grate lifetimes.

Fuel [tph]

DP CleanTech understands the importance of securing a reliable fuel supply and has focused much of its resources on providing technologies that help mitigate this potential problem. Mixed fuel power plants offer greater flexibility and lowers dependence on one single fuel. However, when mixing fuels the variations in properties such as moisture content, ash content and fusion temperatures pose increased challenges to securing optimal performance and require further modifications to the boiler design. Many of DP CleanTechs power plants are designed to handle multiple fuels and we have developed a rich experience in building custom designed integrated mixed fuel power plants which convert waste residues into steam at specified output for the production of heat and electricity.
