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 The system is completed with the new construction of two natural gas boilers (shell boiler), which replace two outdated existing boilers.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.
