Description
GSB Sonderabfall-Entsorgung Bayern GmbH operates a highly specialized hazardous waste incineration plant with two firing lines at its Ebenhausen site. Not only is hazardous waste thermally disposed of there, but valuable energy is also generated in the form of high-pressure steam and electricity - a classic case of energy process optimization at the highest level.
As part of a comprehensive study, Gammel Engineering analysed the existing steam network, which was originally operated with 30 bar high-pressure steam. Our experts assessed the current situation, developed a sustainable modernization concept - and turned high pressure into economically viable low pressure: the conversion to a new supply concept with 3.5 bar steam pressure not only reduced system losses, but also enabled a significantly more efficient supply to internal consumers.
Particularly noteworthy: The technical complexity of the conversion. Numerous sections of the steam network had to be hydraulically redesigned, thermally calculated and structurally adapted - all with the aim of minimizing disruption to operations. With expertise and attention to detail, Gammel Engineering planned the routes, defined the conversion steps and coordinated the implementation during ongoing operations.
As the crowning glory: Gammel Engineering also planned the targeted steam decoupling to supply a neighboring industrial plant - an intelligent sector coupling that conserves resources and creates synergies.
