Belt dryer system for 100 tons of wood chips per hour A Basilian power plant operator uses wood chips to generate energy. However, these are initially to be dried using a belt dryer system with an integrated hot water conversion station. The system concept had to be adapted for this. The result was a design that allows maintenance during operation.

Belt dryer system for 100 tons of wood chips per hour A Brazilian power plant operator uses wood chips to generate energy. Efficient drying using a belt dryer is to be ensured by an integrated hot water conversion station.

The key to the future of combined heat and power generation is iKWK "The German Coal Phase-out Act opens up completely new opportunities for combined heat and power (CHP). This is because the associated amendment to the CHP Act (KWKG) promotes the flexibilization of the technology and thus opens up innovative business models for CHP plants. Until now, these have almost exclusively served as base load generators in continuous operation. However, the sharp increase in volatile electricity generation from solar and wind power means that more and more residual load is required: this is precisely where CHP has a great opportunity to demonstrate its market credentials for the future. However, the new flexibility also increases the complexity of CHP-based energy concepts. Sound project development and planning are essential to ensure that the respective business case remains economically viable.

How can the heat supply for a company and a city center be combined in a smart way? In Cham, we have achieved this: our steam cogeneration plant uses wood chips from the region to generate superheated steam for the Goldsteig cheese dairy - the remaining steam is liquefied in a heating condenser and the heated water is fed into the district heating network of Stadtwerke Cham.

Curtain up for Evi Wittmann, who has been supporting us in project assistance for a year now.

The aim of the Gammel Engineering team is to develop the best sustainable energy solutions for our customers in the various areas of supply and systems engineering. It is a matter of course for us to continuously qualify our committed employees through training and to keep them up to date.

A Brazilian power plant operator uses wood chips for its energy supply. However, the wood chips first had to be dried using a belt dryer system with an integrated hot water conversion station. The basis for this was a model from the "BT 1/8400-58" series from Stela Laxhuber GmbH. However, this had to be adapted from the ground up with regard to an optimized overall system concept. A suitable concept was developed together with Gammel Engineering and Pewo Energietechnik.

Under the motto "Beethoven and freedom", a concert was planned for the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven in the Befreiungshalle Kelheim. Despite the downer that the Kelheim Music Association's event could not take place in the Befreiungshalle due to the pandemic, we were delighted to finally be able to experience a public cultural event live again.

Another great report on the renovation of the Neustadt a. d. Waldnaab grammar school has been published.

"Love is a journey through an unknown land. You have to have the courage to leave everything behind - without knowing what lies ahead."

Due to the Bavarian state government's decision - folk festivals may not take place until further notice - one of the oldest markets in Bavaria, our much-loved Gillamoos, cannot be held in its usual form this year either.

Today we continue with a new series: "3 questions for..."
