UELZENA eG (Uelzen)
The Uelzena Group is a leading food and milk processing provider. Aside from the manufacture of butter and butterfat at the Uelzen production site, the customers’ own products are spray dried by means of high-pressure steam.
The customised GETEC energy solution
Modern and efficient energy supply concept for the dairy industry.
The challenge
Upgrade of the existing boiler house that supplies steam for the dairy, under continuous operation and without interruption.
The goal
The coverage of the high requirements for heat and power at the Uelzen location was to be realised in an economically viable fashion as compared to the separate generation of heat in the existing boiler system as well as compared to the external acquisition of power. At the same time, it was essential to minimise the risks associated with the transition toward renewable energies, such as grid fluctuations and total loss of power.
Our solution
GETEC set up a cogeneration power plant with two CHP units and a waste heat recovery boiler. The system is completed with the new construction of two natural gas boilers (shell boiler), which replace two outdated existing boilers. In addition, GETEC is supporting Uelzena’s power supply by implementing a smart load management 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.

Berlin Exhibition Grounds
Messe Berlin with its fair grounds comprising nearly 550,000 m2 of floor space, 170,000 m2 of hall space (26 halls) and the International Congress Centre (ICC) Berlin is a crucial economic factor for the German capital and is among the ten top-selling trade fair corporations in the world.
The customised GETEC energy solution
The challenge
The energy costs associated with annual heat requirements of approx. 60 million kWh and power requirements of approx. 37 million kWh as well as the associated CO2 emissions represent a significant locational factor. GETEC was asked to develop a cost-efficient and sustainable solution.
The goal
Therefore, Messe Berlin’s goal was to lower the energy costs and the CO2 emissions.
Our solution
Energy savings performance contracting and innovative plant engineering enabled GETEC to lower the energy consumption of Messe Berlin by approximately 30%. This saves approx. 10,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.
