Schwenk will install a WHR system in Allmendingen, Germany

Schwenk Allmendingen

Germany’s Schwenk Group will use Orcan Energy’s ORC technology at its Allmendingen plant for waste heat recovery (WHR). The previously unused waste heat from the clinker cooler shall be used to recover over 8.5 million kWh of energy and to avoid 13200 tons of CO2 annually. 5 modular ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) units will be used to produce electricity as well as to dry fuels from alternative waste and to generate hot water. The ORC plant will be handed over on a turnkey basis. Implementation of the project has begun with planned completion in the first quarter 2025.
