Heathummingbird
More profitable cogeneration as a serviceHeatHummingbird is a service that helps CHP companies achieve a more profitable business by economically optimizing the entire operation, from purchased fuel to delivered district heating to customers, in collaboration, without compromising safety, availability, or environmental values.
We utilize both the customer's and our own expertise, experience, and process data to identify improvement opportunities, implement improvement measures, and determine the financial improvement. This applies both to daily operations and long-term goals.
Our aim is to improve the profitability of our customers' CHP businesses through continuous, long-term efficiency improvements, focusing on optimal operation of the CHP plant, enhancing the skills of operating personnel, and creating a collaborative CHP organization.

Process and operational support on/off-site
Process and operational support is a fundamental part of HeatHummingbird. Here, we assist cogeneration personnel with both everyday and long-term issues, such as troubleshooting or decision support.
Our experienced commissioning engineer Mikko Hänninen serves as an expert on-site (in the control room), and off-site support is handled by our cogeneration guru Markus Slotte.
Monitoring and development
To achieve our promised profitability goal, we hold regular follow-up and development meetings with the cogeneration plant staff.
We highlight observations and improvement suggestions, develop a plan for improvement actions, and evaluate the achieved improvements and savings.
Operational support application
The operational support application serves as the platform for operational support and forms the basis for economic operation monitoring and control.
The application visualizes in real-time how the cogeneration plant is operated and how it should be operated to achieve a better overall economy.
Here, we keep track of incoming fuel quality, bed quality (FBC), combustion, emissions, the need for soot blowing, limiting factors, optimal district heating needs, and overall economy.
