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.

Medical Centre Wahrendorff
The head office of the medical centres is located approx. 20 km east of the state capital Hanover in Sehnde, along with the two locations Ilten and Köthenwald. The medical centres provide outpatient, semi-inpatient and inpatient care in emergency psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy. The entire medical centre has 310 hospital beds and 253 spaces for semi-inpatient care. Personalised and high-quality professional care is delivered to more than 1,060 residents in the different areas of the care home.
The customised GETEC energy solution
The challenge
Supply of the medical centre with heat for space heating, ventilation, hot water as well as electricity, if necessary, produced with state-of-the art, efficient energy generation systems.
The goal
Development of a sustainable heat and energy supply concept for all areas of the medical centre
Our solution
The various buildings are supplied by means of a total of 32 natural gas-based and/or HEL-based heat generation systems.
GETEC set up among other things two CHP units with an electrical output of 140 kW each in the Juliane Wahrendorff medical centre in Ilten as well as in the care home in Köthenwald.
The heat generated in the CHP units is used to supply the base load (heat); the generated electricity is fed into the medium voltage systems of the medical centres Ilten and Köthenwald. The refurbishment and expansion of the local heating network at the same time created combined heat supply systems, which make it possible to switch off heat generation units, thereby optimising the operational life of the CHP units. In the context of their refurbishment in 2015/2016, all heat generation systems were switched to energy-efficient condensing boiler technology.

Town of Turek (Poland)
The municipal works in Turek started operating in 1956 and are covering the entire range of communal services. The limited liability company is wholly owned by the municipality of Turek.
The customised GETEC energy solution
The challenge
Nearly 90,000 MWh of heat per year are needed for the properties in Turek with a population of 28,000 residents.
The goal
Above all, the new energy supply was supposed to be particularly economical, to realise low and stable energy costs for the community in the long term.
Our solution
GETEC presented a tailor-made concept and guarantees the town of Turek an economical, affordable and secure heat supply for a total of 30 years. The plan is to build a new plant on the property that was specifically purchased for this purpose. Starting in 2018, the heating station replaced the Adamów power station as heat supplier to the town of Turek.

a-ja Resort Grömitz
a-ja, a subsidiary of DSR Hotel Holding, is a new, up-and-coming, rapidly expanding holiday hotel brand. Its aspiration: Best holidays at the best price – hotel and spa for everyone. The a-ja concept represents a democratisation of luxury in the holiday hotel industry, featuring the components adventure gastronomy, generous spa offerings and the ambience of a suite.
The customised GETEC energy solution
The challenge
Set-up of a new CHP unit on the main floor of the a-ja resort Grömitz and hydraulic connection with the district heating network by way of a hybrid station. The strict requirements regarding the permissible noise emission of the Baltic Sea spa town of Grömitz as well as the hotel proper represented a particular challenge, which was considered early on in the planning of the unit.
The goal
In the context of the further expansion of the a-ja brand, a new a-ja resort was completed in Grömitz in 2015, which was connected to the district heating network. An invitation to tender for the construction of an appropriate CHP unit was additionally launched, among other things, for the purpose of generating electricity in-house.
Our solution
GETEC built a CHP unit with a capacity of 140 kWel using natural gas as fuel base in the building of the a-ja resort of Grömitz.
All of the thermal energy is fed into the upstream district heating network.
