Energy Data Management for Wood-Fired Systems
The energy transition has brought both challenges and also new opportunities. For example, if a wood-fired system also provides process heat, then lucrative subsidy programs can be utilized. The energy data management system which is, among other things, necessary for to apply for subsidies, can be easily realized, as Endress Holzfeuerungsanlagen GmbH has proven.
Garden centers and wood-processing companies, like carpenters, furniture factories or lumber mills, are often presented with the question of how to usefully use their waste wood. Directly generating heat from it can be an efficient and environmentally friendly practice. Endress Holzfeuerungsanlagen in Burgbernheim in Middle Franconia offers suitable technologies for this. Their 25 employees plan and manufacture complete combustion systems that have outputs from 100 to 1000 kilowatts (kW).
“Our wood-fired systems offer an optimal solution anywhere that fuel is produced as a by-product of production,” states Jürgen Ströbel, Control Cabinet Construction Manager at Endress. The companies actually see a doubled profit, “Carpenters, for example, have to pay to dispose of their wood chips. With our wood-fired systems, they save these costs, and simultaneously generate the heat they need in their operations.” Emissions are also far below legally specified limit values. This is achieved using intelligent temperature monitoring, lambda-controlled combustion controllers and newly developed particulate filters in the Endress combustion systems.
