CHP

Unique in the Netherlands! Ammerlaan Hydro has commissioned a geogas-powered CHP. Ammerlaan, a commercial nursery specializing in tropical green plants, produces its plants CO2-neutrally thanks to its own geothermal source. The geothermal system heats Ammerlaan's horticultural business and supplies excess heat to a nearby swimming pool and school complex, among other things. When the geothermal energy is extracted, oil and methane gas are released to the earth's surface. To efficiently utilize the methane gas, approximately 155 m³/h, Lekhabo supplied and installed a turnkey combined heat and power system, type Jenbacher JMS312-635 kWe. The CHP is housed in a sound-attenuated enclosure and electrically/hydraulically connected to Ammerlaan's existing system. The geogas-powered CHP feeds the generated electricity back into the public grid. The heat produced is efficiently used to heat the greenhouse horticultural business.
