Energy Demand
We take on responsibility for the society: the sensible use of energy and the implementation of renewable sources of energy are the main columns of our activities. This way, environmental targets like the reduction of CO
2 and optimal energy efficiency are at the very focus of our engagement.
By applying highly efficient aggregates we have not only succeeded in reaching our targets to the status quo, but also to reach them sustainably over the whole period of operation. The reduction and optimisation of oxygen input, the implementation of advanced technologies and procedural opportunities to feed our plants offer the possibility to achieve further synergies. Additionally, we are able to reduce the input of chemicals by optimising our processes. By installing appropriate process control systems and maintenance programmes, we grant a maximum of care for our plants. Maintenance intervals are extended and the useful lifetime of aggregates can be prolonged, too. Compact plants, lamella and membrane technology improve the efficiency of our plants and provide, even in the planning phase, the opportunity for minimised tanks and a reduction of space required which directly contributes to protecting the environment.
On the other hand we are well aware that the production of potable water, in particular in sea water desalination plants, comes along with a high demand on energy, a fact that we have to observe critically. Due to water shortages in the Mediterranean area, however, there is no alternative available that could replace desalination. That is why we concentrate our efforts on installing the most efficient plant technology there and to permanently improve it during operations. Our engineers have succeeded in projecting a concept for sea water desalination which will produce potable water economically. High energy demand means costs. Money that we and our clients could invest into further environmental projects and into research. The challenges to actively support climate protection are unabatedly high. We contribute to solutions every day.
