Haltermann Carless Deutschland GmbH
Haltermann Carless Deutschland GmbH is one of the leading European manufacturers of speciality chemicals and hydrocarbon-based solvents. The product portfolio comprises printing ink oils, high purity hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon-based blowing agents, and test and reference fuels.
The customised GETEC energy solution
Modern and efficient energy supply concept for the chemical industry.
The challenge
The existing supply of power to the plant using thermal oil and steam no longer met current demands and efficiency criteria. A new supply concept was to be developed to ensure the future security of supply.
The goal
The vent gas produced on site in the storage tanks should also be utilised as an energy source and thus used efficiently and in an environmentally-friendly fashion instead of being discarded in thermal post-combustion as was previously the case.
Our solution
GETEC developed a highly efficient, sustainable and economical supply concept that supplies the entire production site in Speyer with thermal oil and steam. The GETEC engineers opted to use two thermal oil boilers fired with natural gas and a steam generator indirectly heated with thermal oil. What makes this procedure so special The vent gas that accumulates during the production is thermally utilised in the system.

Radici Chimica Deutschland GmbH
Radici Chimica Deutschland GmbH, a chemical company belonging to the Italian Radici Group, produces over 100,000 tonnes of adipic acid per year in the Zeitz Chemical Park. The white powder is the raw material for the production of nylon and other plastics, which, for example, are used in the automotive and clothing industries.
The customised GETEC energy solution
Modern and efficient energy supply concept for the chemical industry.
The challenge
Because the previous steam supply from the power station Mumsdorf was shut down in the summer of 2013, the management of the chemical company was looking for a viable, ultra-efficient and economical energy supply.
The goal
In the context of the supply concept, the idea was to also destroy the climate-damaging nitrous oxide (N2O) that accumulates on site, thereby lowering the greenhouse gas emission.
Our solution
GETEC opted to install two separate shell boilers. One is fired with particularly economical brown coal dust, whilst the other is fired with natural gas.
Facts and Figures
CO2 savings
approximately 100,000 tons of CO2 equivalents per year
Plant
Combined heat and power station with 2 steam boilers and back pressure steam turbine
Supply
Steam, electricity
Installed capacity
Thermal output: 37.1 MW;
Electrical output: 681 kW
We would never have dared to imagine that the problem with nitrous oxide can be resolved with pulverised lignite firing. […] This helps Radici achieve major savings in emissions trading, close to a million euros each year.
