Quantafuel ASA | Skive update
Quantafuel’s plant in Skive, Denmark, has experienced a mechanical failure in the burner chamber of one of the production lines. As a safety precaution, we have closed down all production for the time being, until root cause is identified and rectified.
Quantafuel has started an investigation into the failure, which occurred on Saturday evening. There were no personal injuries, neither any hazardous substances released to the environment. Danish authorities have been informed, but do not see a need for their participation.
Quantafuel continues to work towards finding and rectifying the root cause of the failure. We will revert to the market with further details, including expected production downtime.
Additional technical details:
Each of the four lines has a reactor consisting of a burner chamber and a rotating inner part. The burner chamber is heated up by a gas burner and the hot flue gas from the burner chamber heats the inner part of the reactor, where plastics pyrolysis takes place. Hence, the pyrolysis gas and the flue gas are physically separated and cannot be mixed due to the reactors’ design.
