Orcan Energy, the manufacturer of solutions for the utilization of waste heat, has implemented the first geothermal project in record time together with its cooperation partner E.ON.
ORC container modules
In Kirchweidach, Upper Bavaria, six second-generation ORC container modules from Orcan Energy were delivered, unloaded, and positioned at a geothermal plant in just one day.
This means that the operator FG Geothermie GmbH can fully utilize the energy potential of deep heat: six Orcan modules with a total output of 1 megawatt convert surplus heat from the geothermal plant into electricity in a highly efficient manner, thus saving 4,000 tons of CO2 annually.
simple and fast installation
FG Geothermie GmbH chose the modular system from Orcan Energy because it adapts optimally
Those responsible at FG Geothermie GmbH chose the modular system from Orcan Energy because it adapts optimally to both seasonal conditions and to other heat consumers, some of which fluctuate greatly, such as a regional large-scale vegetable farm.
It operates optimally in summer when there is plenty of residual heat as well as in winter when there is at times little heat available.
The piping for the installation could be prepared and the installation of the modules was thus simple, fast, and uncomplicated, which further favored the decision.
efficiency Packs
FG Geothermie GmbH uses a particularly powerful class of efficiency Packs that operates efficiently at both low and high-temperature levels, generating up to 200 kWel net at inlet temperatures of up to 150 °C maximum.
The EP 150.200 is delivered ready to connect in a 40-foot container for installation to allow quick set-up and easy installation.
Use of geothermal heat
We are very pleased that the first commissioning of efficiency Packs at a geothermal plant went very quickly"
Andreas Sichert, CEO of Orcan Energy says, "We are very pleased that after numerous installations in the industry, the first commissioning of efficiency Packs at a geothermal plant also went very quickly and without problems."
Andreas Sichert adds, "The project proves that precisely geothermal heat can also be used economically to generate electricity and that you don't have to waste this heat even in more complex environments."
complete, customized package
The project will run for 15 years. As part of the cooperation between E.ON Business Solutions and Orcan Energy, the efficiency Packs were handed over to FG Geothermie for leasing after commissioning.
From maintenance to operational management, E.ON takes over the power supply as a complete, customized package.
