We did not just propose a simple combination of a turbine and a recovery boiler. Instead, we first listened to the issues the customer wanted to solve, and it soon became apparent they suffered from power cuts and reduced reliability of their old fashioned boiler house. Additionally, disruptions in the steam production resulted in day-long overall production stops because of the nature of the process. When diving deeper into that process, we figured out the customer would be able to use excess heat in the malting plant more than regularly.

Although our experiences with CHPs in island mode were modest, we knew this was exactly what we needed to propose for the most beneficial and successful result. Moreover, CallensVyncke was the only one using the opportunity in the malting plant as a facilitator for improved efficiency. Because of this creative thinking, we were granted the project.
