IWB Bahnhof
Energy company IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel) supplies energy to the greater region of Basel, Switzerland’s third-largest city. In 2023, BKtech installed a hot water system, including two 15 MW hot water boilers, to supply hot water to IWB’s district heating system, accompanied by a powder system housing the WTS multifuel burner.
Challenge
IWB Bahnhof relied on fossil gas to fuel its district heating network but wanted to achieve peak performance with fossil-free fuel.
Client:
IWB Bahnhof
Industry:
District heating
Solution:
2 x 15 MW burners
Solution
After evaluating their options, including biogas and electricity, IWB decided that wood powder would be the most suitable choice. Wood powder mimics the functional properties of fossil gas while offering substantial environmental advantages and rapid load regulation. The fuel supply system utilizes a hot water network fueled by wood powder, which is derived from locally sourced wood pellets.
The result
IWB has received a flexible, future-proof and high-performing process system.
Wood powder is incinerated in the WTS hot water boilers, generating fossil-free energy for IWB’s district heating system, the main purpose of which will be for peak load when needed.
