Metso will supply Affärsverken i Karlskrona AB with a biomass boiler

municipality of Karlskrona, Sweden. The boiler plant including
several auxiliary boilers will be delivered by the Metso-Wärtsilä

the order is approximately EUR 30 million. The start-up of the plant
is scheduled for the first quarter of 2012. The order is included in
