In the coming months, Maru Metall will manufacture steel structures and fencing for the Patola heating plant project in Helsinki, which will be installed by Maru THM. The client for this large-scale project is the Finnish energy group Helen OY.
The Patola heating plant complex will begin operations as early as the next heating season. This is a technologically significant project that includes an industrial-scale heat pump and two 50 MW electric boilers. The air-to-water heat pump plant currently under construction is one of the largest in the world—the system is designed to operate even at outdoor temperatures as low as -20°C, using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a natural refrigerant.
This project builds on our long experience in the manufacture and installation of steel structures for facilities in the Finnish energy sector. The list of heating plants in Finland featuring steel structures manufactured by Maru is impressive, ranging from Leppävirta and Turenki to Turku, Lahti, and Imatra. The Patola project confirms the capability of Maru’s units to provide comprehensive solutions in a demanding international market.
