Leinefelde, Germany
In Leinefeld-Worbis, in the centre of Germany, three wood waste-fired boilers of each 4 MWt have been realized in 2015. About 35,000 MWh is produced annually from 16,000 tonnes demolition wood with A2 classification (including paint, construction foam, plastic insulations and other residues which are extracted before infeeding) to provide district heating in the area of Leinefelde-Worbis.
A well-planned maintenance program avoids unnecessary down time or costly repairs. When one of the three boilers requires maintenance, the other two boilers remain active. This allows the plant to be as efficient as possible. This project is part of a larger renewable energy project to optimise the district heating supply in Leinefelde-Worbis and create a regenerative and highly efficiency energy production facility.
