Sustainable technology and services supplier, Metso is to supply a multilingual control room as part of an automation delivery to a Waste to Energy plant currently under construction near Vaasa, Finland. The new plant will be built by Hitachi Zosen Inova AG and run by Westenergy Oy Ab.
According to the company, the delivery will consist of a Metso DNA distributed control system and an information management system, as well as on-site commissioning, trial run support, training and spare parts. Users will be able to choose between the three languages according to their own preference.
The new facility is located in a region of Finland where both Swedish and Finnish are widely spoken, and is being built by a company that uses English as its working language.
By pushing a button at an operator station, the language on the display changes. Metso says that this makes the operation of the whole plant more user-friendly and less prone to misunderstandings.
The new plant will run on source-separated waste and have a capacity of 15 MW of electricity and 40 MW of district heat. The start-up is scheduled for the end of 2012.
Westenergy Oy Ab is owned by five municipal waste management companies, which operate in an area consisting of more than fifty municipalities with over 400,000 inhabitants.
