In-house power plant where the combustion of a mushroom grower’s compost provides for their own energy needs.
The steam heater is used to heat central heating water through the condensation of low-pressure steam. This is effectively a condenser. In the other condenser, air is dried by condensing the water out using cooling water.
Innovative project where “Champost” is incinerated. The steam from the steam boiler is then used to generate electrical energy via a steam turbine. Residual heat is used to dry the compost, and low-pressure steam is used to heat central heating water. In this way, maximum efficiency is achieved from the heat of combustion. The compost, which would otherwise have to be removed and processed at a cost, now provides the grower with direct energy and thus financial savings. ROBOX was able to assist in the development of the plan thanks to its existing process knowledge and thermal expertise. By actively participating, the process and the various components could be optimized.
