Description
In 2012, we developed a comprehensive overall energy concept for the brand new brewery in Langwied for Paulaner GmbH & Co. The new production facility, one of the largest single breweries in Germany, is designed for 5 million hl (initial operation: ~3.5 million hl)
🔥Our contribution to the energy infrastructure:
- Block-type thermal power stations (CHP) - two modules with a total of just under 2 MW of electrical power provide in-house electricity and heat
- Thermal supply - high-pressure hot water (32 MW, 16 bar), hot water (16 MW, 10 bar) and central heating (3 MW) cover all production and building parts
- Pipe route and steel construction planning - including routing of up to 40 media, from steam to cooling and process lines - we are also active in implementation planning
💡 Technical highlights:
- Three heating circuits enable temperature utilization according to requirements - e.g. E.g. 160 °C brewhouse, 105 °C bottling, 35 °C heating - all precisely coordinated
- Sustainable energy efficiency: 60% in-house electricity from CHP, 25% heat from biogas from own sewage treatment plant - this reduces primary energy consumption by 15% and CO₂ per hectolitre of beer by 20%
- Future-oriented infrastructure: flexible pipe routing, modular building planning on over 90.000 m² area - technically and statically well thought out
Conclusion: With our energy concept, we have developed Paulaner Langwied into the most energy-efficient brewery in Europe. Gammel Engineering combines system thinking, sustainability and precise system planning for a future-oriented production environment - technically strong, ecologically well thought-out and economically sustainable.
