Back in 2006, the management of the Schwaiger sawmill commissioned one of the first biomass-ORC cogeneration plants in connection with the construction of the new pellet production facility. The project development and planning of the plant was carried out by the Gammel Engineering power plant team. We were happy to contribute our expertise to the operation of the plants for a wide range of tasks.
In the meantime, the Schwaiger sawmill has grown once again and the heat requirement for drying sawn timber and chips has also increased.We were delighted that the sawmill's management appreciated our team's performance and also commissioned us to provide engineering services for the new combined heat and power plant.
The new biomass boiler has a firing capacity of 20 MW and an additional flue gas condensation system with a capacity of approx. 4 MW. The ORC module has an electrical output of 2.8 MW, which is fed into the public grid in accordance with the EEG.The furnace with moving floor, thermal oil boiler, economizer, condensation system, chimney and flue gas cleaning system have already been installed. The furnace is currently being lined with fireclay.
We would like to thank the Schwaiger sawmill for the many years of trustful cooperation and look forward to the commissioning in the 46th calendar week!
We were able to celebrate a special anniversary today: February 15 marked the 20th anniversary of Anita Ebenslander joining Gammel Engineering. Two decades that stand for commitment, precision and exceptional reliability.
Having already reported on the results of our Christmas donation campaign, we are now delighted that all three donations have now been handed over in person. It was particularly important to us not only to hand over the donations symbolically, but also to visit the facilities on site and gain an insight into their valuable work.
