ANDRITZ wins first order in green H2 sector Xiris pre-weld inspection for HF tube mills
Koppö Energia of Finland has selected the international technology group ANDRITZ to perform the Front-End Engineering Design ( FEED ) for a large-scale plant to produce green hydrogen . This order is a milestone in ANDRITZ ’ s strategy to become the leading industrial partners for largescale green hydrogen production plants . The plant , with a capacity of 200 MW , will be built in Kristinestad , Finland as part of a Power-to-X project . The customer , Koppö Energia , is a joint venture of Germany-based Prime Capital , a renowned asset manager specialising in alternative energy projects , and CPC Finland , a subsidiary of project developer and green power producer CPC Germania . The Front-End Engineering Design provided by ANDRITZ will include the complete hydrogen plant , incorporating the alkaline electrolyzer technology of HydrogenPro .

Xiris Automation has released its Pre-Weld Inspection system for HF Tube Mills . With a goal of meeting the long-standing needs of tube fabricators to monitor tubes going into the weld box on a High Frequency ( HF ) tube mill , the system is able to measure and track the position and temperatures of various features of the tube as it heats up and is formed at the induction coil . Using a thermal camera specifically designed to measure temperature in the range of hot metals ( e . g . 350-1800 ° C ), the Pre-Weld Inspection System is easy to set up and define tolerance limits , reporting results in real-time to the operator . The system includes a robust housing for the camera capable of withstanding the harsh environment of the immediate area of the induction coil on most HF tube mills , using air to keep the optics area clean .
