Projects

Due Diligence Tirreno Power - 16 hydro power plants

Ramboll has been commissioned by Sorgenia with a Technical Due Diligence (TDD) of a number of coal fired units, a number of CCGT’s and a number of hydro power plants in Italy.

Retrofit of Midskog Hydro Power Plant

The use of water as a source of energy is widespread, and around 20 per cent of the world’s electricity comes from hydro power. In Sweden, it has played a key role in the country’s energy system since the beginning of the last century.

Biogas upgrading plant in Falkirk

Assessment of the potential to upgrade biogas to biomethane for gas grid injection or use as a vehicle fuel.

Biomass power plant in Maabjerg

Maabjerg BioEnergy, which is one of the world’s largest biogas plants, was initiated by a group of local farmers together with local energy supply companies.

Pre-study on geothermal energy in Ikast, Herning and Silkeborg

Ramboll evaluates the geothermal heat potential and geological structures for three energy companies in the center of Jutland, Denmark.

Solar heating plant in Giurgiu

Ramboll has established a solar heating system for production of domestic hot water.

Upgrading pre-treatment of waste in Oslo

In Oslo, both solid and liquid waste has since commissioning in 2012 been delivered to the Romerike Biogas plant (RBA) for pre-treatment. Now, Ramboll has been appointed by the city of Oslo to optimize the existing plant design and processes in order to obtain a more resilient facility and biogas production.

Bekkelaget Biogas Upgrading Plant

Norway's largest biogas upgrading plant set to deliver vehicle fuel.

Biogas Tønder - the largest biogas plant in the Nordics

In South Denmark a large-scale biogas plant is under development. The plant will treat liquid manure, household waste and energy crops from 120 farmers, and Ramboll advises on design and approval.

Borås gas filling station & LNG storage

Construction of a new gas filling station for the supply of biomethane as a vehicle fuel and LNG backup storage.

Aquamarine Power Oyster

Feasibility study for Aquamarine Power into the widespread use of composite materials in its Oyster wave power device.

South-Jutland stores the sun’s heat in the world's largest pit heat storage

In the Danish town of Vojens, a 70,000 m2 solar heating plant is being established. The heat is absorbed to heat water, which is then transported to a 200 million litre pit, for storage. Here, the water is saved for district heating consumers to use during the autumn and winter season. Vojens District Heating and Ramboll have designed and constructed the record breaking project.

Solarge

Solarge was a European co-operation project to open up markets for large solar thermal plants

Solar energy project in Lillestrøm

State-of-the-art renewable energy project

Pulverised Biomass Combustion Modelling

Switching from coal to biomass challenges the operational stability of pulverised fuel burners. Differences in fuel properties affect ignition and losses (Loss On Ignition). A combustion model for pulverised biomass has been developed, providing accurate predictive capabilities of burner operation.

Tidal Generation Limited

Ramboll is involved in providing structural and installation design of the foundation support structure for the 10MW tidal turbine test array.

Industrial biomass boiler at Australian enterprise

Ramboll provided engineering consultancy services to an international food producer on one of their Australian enterprises. The objective of the project was to construct a new biomass boiler to replace an existing natural gas boiler.

Cumnock anaerobic digester plant upgrade feasibility study

Horizons Environment — part of Scottish Water — is considering investing in the equipment necessary for its existing anaerobic digesters to be able to accept organic waste. This will require the upgrade of the digesters, which form part of the sludge treatment centre at Cumnock Waste Water Treatment Works, East Aryshire. Ramboll prepared a feasibility study, which forms the business case for investment.

Waste to Energy – Independent Consultant for Hong Kong Sludge Treatment Facility

The plant will receive up to two thousand wet tonnes of municipal sewage sludge per day, transported by road from eleven sewage treatment works. This sludge will be treated in four incineration streams, consisting of fluidized bed furnaces with heat recovery and flue gas cleaning equipment. Ramboll is ‘Independent Consultant’ for the process elements of the plant, working closely with another consultant in Hong Kong.

The world's largest bioethanol plant is ready for production

DONG Energy's new biofuel plant in Kalundborg, Denmark, produces second generation bioethanol. Ramboll has played an important role in the construction of the plant. The advanced 3D modelling in particular has been crucial for finishing the project ahead of the COP15 conference.

Dalderse Sludge Treatment Centre co-digestion feasibility study

The Sludge Treatment Centre at Dalderse in Falkirk, Scotland, is part of a large waste water treatment works dating from the 1960s and owned by Scottish Water. In 2010, Ramboll investigated using biogas by-products from the works to fuel vehicles or supply the gas grid. Ramboll Energy's current feasibility study determines the measures necessary to implement co-digestion of commercial and industrial waste with sewage sludge, and updates our earlier findings on exploiting the biogas as a commercial energy resource.At Dalderse, 432 tonnes per day of sewage sludge from several sites is digested in two mesophilic anaerobic digesters, where bacteria break down the sludge to produce methane and other by-products. Anaerobic digestion is standard UK practice for rendering a harmful mat ...

Biofuel as a sustainable alternative in the aviation industry

With the introduction of new technologies, biofuels could make out a sustainable strategy in the Norwegian aviation industry by 2025. But it takes by-product sales to make it profitable, states Ramboll report.
