Retrofits and modernisation of industrial plants
EnergieLink is your service provider when it comes to modifying industrial plants with minimum disruption of ongoing operation. The modernisation of industrial plants is also our speciality. As an independent enterprise, we are not restricted to a fixed product range or systems for this and, consequently, can provide solutions which are the most sensible from a technical and economic point of view and produce the best results in terms of energy efficiency.
Regardless of whether modernisation involves modifying entire system areas or replacing individual assemblies or components, we consult closely with you in planning and developing the engineering of each individual measure with a maximum degree of precision. We coordinate the suppliers required for this, compile schedules and monitor progress up to dismantling and installation, including commissioning following successful modification.

Task
Where water-cooled feed hoppers are used, heat should generally be dissipated via the water-cooled outer walls. Experience indicates that systems of this nature are only able to meet the demands made of them to a limited extent. Steam bubbles form in the event of backfiring whose pressure leads to warping in the inner and outer walls.
Solution
At EnergieLink, we have combined know-how gained in steam systems with specific materials technology considerations. Together with reliable system monitoring and ease of servicing, this creates a system that meets every conceivable requirement.
Implementation
We have invested considerable experience and resources in the development of this system. Forced circulation of the cooling water, a sophisticated monitoring system and wear protection form the basis of this hopper. The feed hopper can be optionally equipped with a backfire extinguishing system. Please discuss your needs with us, and we will show you the many advantages embodied in our system.

Task
A wide variety of deslagging systems are employed in waste-to-energy plants. Following combustion incinerated household waste materials are conveyed out of the system in wet, quasi-dry or dry processes. The choice of an ideal deslagger is crucial for the efficiency of every plant.
Solution
In addition to possessing detailed knowledge of individual deslaggers, our specialists also have a complete overview of all deslagging systems. This means that their procurement, installation, expansion and optimisation are our core competencies.
Implementation
To select the optimum deslagging system we first conduct precise feasibility studies including costs, based on which we demonstrate the best solutions for you and develop a reliable project plan. Depending on your requirements, we will provide you with engineering, design, project management, dismantling and installation services, complete commissioning and a warranty.

Task
A variety of heat exchangers are installed in waste incineration plants. An opportunity for optimising arises where a heat exchanger reaches the end of its service life.
Solution
In addition to improving energetic characteristics, heat exchangers should also be optimised in terms of design to ensure that they are both low-maintenance and easy to maintain. Easy access to individual heating registers plays a significant role here among other important aspects.
Implementation
Here at EnergieLink we have gained extensive experience in the modification of heat exchangers. We are familiar with the most important design and installation criteria with regard to air preheaters in particular. This know-how is decisive when it comes to successfully modifying plant. We’re more than happy to advise you, so please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Task
Continuously increasing firing efficiency means that a waste-to-energy plant generates additional steam which can be sold on. It is important here that a reliable and consistent supply of this steam to the customer can be ensured.
Solution
Our specialists at EnergieLink have developed a creative solution. A reducing station operated with feed water converts the steam from 40 bar/400°C to 17 bar/230°C. A turbine will assume this task at a later date. The reducing station effectively becomes a turbine bypass that ensures steam is supplied to consumers in the event of turbine failure.
Implementation
We have planned and designed a turbine bypass with the required instrumentation and control technology in the existing plant to ensure steam deliveries. This guarantees that the end customer receives a consistent flow of steam within specified parameters. All required interfaces for the turbine which will be installed at a later date have already been taken into consideration. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about our solution.
