ECOMB of Sweden and RJM International of the UK announce today a co-
operative partnership to offer a combined range of combustion and emissions
improvement technologies to combustion plants and heat producers across
Scandinavia
RJM International, the award-winning provider of innovative combustion and efficiency improvement
technologies and ECOMB, the Swedish provider of a range of emissions reduction technologies, announce
today a new partnership to target combustion plants and heat producers across Scandinavia. A new Sales
Manager, David Eriksson, has been appointed to lead this sales drive.
As governments the world over implement legislation to decarbonise their economies, adding a further
layer of emissions reduction regulations on top of those relating to NOx, SOx and particulates, combustion plants are looking at how they can maintain profitable and reliable generation in this new carbon-constrained world.
Co-firing with a new fuel or fuel switching are two of the main strategies that generators are now
evaluating.
However, for smaller generators and CHP plants, many of which do not have in-depth combustion expertise
in-house, such as pulp & paper plants, district heating schemes, biomass and Waste to Energy plants and
other industrial users of on-site heat & power, a change in fuel has the potential to introduce a number of
new operational challenges around materials handling, combustion, the formation of slag, corrosion,
erosion, emissions and ash.
Having access to the combined expertise of RJM and ECOMB means that these plants can embark upon a
carbon and emissions reduction strategy with confidence, secure in the knowledge that their plant will
continue to operate reliably and with increased efficiencies, post-conversion.
Commenting on the co-operative partnership, Dr. Gerry Riley, Head of Business Development at RJM said,
“We recognise the challenges that all types of combustion plant are now facing and using our experience
from the UK, we believe that we have a compelling offer to support generators as they transition to lower
carbon, lower emission generation.
Teaming up with ECOMB means we can offer a combined range of products and services and have a
dedicated sales and implementation capability throughout Scandinavia,” he added.
Ulf Hagström, Managing Director of ECOMB confirmed, “We also know that all types of combustion plant
and heat generators are urgently seeking to evaluate new fuels and adopt new technologies to maintain
profitable and reliable operation and yet still meet ever-tightening emissions limits. ECOMB, working with
RJM, is ideally-placed to satisfy this growing demand and we are confident that our combined offer has
useful applications across the sector, no matter what the fuel, the firing configuration or the size of the
plant.”
To drive sales in the region, RJM and ECOMB have appointed a new Sales Manager, David Eriksson who
joins from Oerlikon Balzers (Sweden Coating AB). David worked for ECOMB in a previous role and is
therefore very familiar with the company, its products and the power and heat generation sector
throughout Scandinavia.
