Description
We have implemented an innovative energy concept for Kalkwerk Rygol GmbH & Co. KG in Painten that makes the energy-intensive drum drying process more efficient, resource-friendly and reliable. The core of the measure was the integration of two micro gas turbines with a total output of 265 kWel, whose hot gas is used directly on the process side - an example of well thought-out industrial power-heat utilization with maximum efficiency.special attention was paid to the design of a new hot gas generator, which we developed, constructed and transferred to production specifically for the integration of the gas turbines into the drying process. This means that the valuable waste heat from the gas turbines is not only utilized, but also optimally managed in terms of process technology, and the plant's gas supply was reconnected and adapted to the specific pressure requirements of the turbines. This meant that the use of a gas compressor could be completely dispensed with - which not only reduces investment costs, but also saves energy and maintenance costs in the long term.🔧 Highlights of our solution:Direct use of hot gas: The gas turbine exhaust gases are fed directly into the dryer process - no detours, no heat losses.Tailor-made hot gas generator: In-house development by Gammel Engineering - mechanically and thermodynamically precisely matched to the process.Pressure-optimized gas connection: New planning of the gas infrastructure with plant-specific pressure adjustment - efficient, compressor-free, low-maintenance.Industry meets engineering: integration of state-of-the-art CHP technology into a traditional production process - robust, economical and future-proof.💡 Why Painten is a typical Gammel project for us:We rethink industrial processes - with efficiency, technical understanding and foresight. Our in-house developments combine cost-effectiveness with precise system technology. With every kilowatt hour saved, we not only optimize operations, but also the emissions profile. Sophisticated energy supply is not an add-on - it is an integral part of production.
