Description
After the end of waste incineration, we developed the concept for Stadtwerke Landshut to convert the existing waste incineration plant building into a state-of-the-art biomass cogeneration plant (BMHKW). The new BMHKW went into operation in December 2011 - and has since supplied around 4,000 households with heat and 5,800 households with electricity from renewable sources
🌱 Project data at a glance
- Biomass output: 18 MW thermal (landscape maintenance material/residue)
- Electricity output: approx. 5 MW electrical (extraction + backpressure turbines)
- Heat production: approx. 61,000 MWh/a, electricity: approx. 19,000 MWh/a
- CO₂ savings: approx. 24.000 t/a, replaces around 1.6 million liters of heating oil/year
🚧 Our services in network expansion
- Since 2013 planning of 26 km of district heating lines (DN to 300): Hydraulics, tendering, construction management - including complex network routing through the historic city center
- Civil engineering link with renewal of drinking water and gas pipes, supplemented by I&C and pump technology planning
- Ongoing expansion phases, most recently in the 2016 section; detailed network simulations and proof of funding added as part of the CHP Act.
💡 Our engineering strengths in the project
- Sustainable resource utilization: Green energy through the use of municipal green waste - sustainable and local.
- System integration into existing buildings: Rapid subsequent use of the waste incineration plant structure led to the shortest implementation time
- Technical excellence: Hydraulic grid design, line routing under high demands, msr-based provision and grid management.
- Flexibility & civil engineering expertise: Close coordination with public infrastructure - construction work coordinated with existing road projects and events .
Conclusion: With the conversion in Landshut, we have shown what holistic energy innovation means: a municipal electricity and heating system that combines old with new, conserves resources and ensures a clear carbon footprint. Gammel Engineering delivers engineering services that understand municipal utilities and build the future
