Nordwasser has new spare power supply planned and built by means of a CHP plant on its waterworks

The central waterworks of the Nordwasser in the Hanseatic city of Rostock draws its water supply of river Warnow and processes it to become drinking water for the Hanseatic city of Rostock. At the central waterworks a backup power supply will be built as central emergency generator ensured by the construction of a CHP plant. In total 3 units of CHP modules with a total output of 3 MW have to be planned. In addition an associated recooling system as well as an associated switchgear control of the complete CHP plant need to be constructed. The new technical facilities should preferably be installed in the existing building. Therefor the central emergencydiesel of 1962 (about 2,600PSe), including associated construction technology, has to be dismantled.

By constructing of such a cogeneration plant, the waterworks should be able to generate a base load of self-generated electricity in the future and also ensure a secure backup power supply in the event of power failure. The use of resulting heat should be considered in the planning.

Enwacon engineers were instructed by Nordwasser for the planning of this plant. Besides planning the new CHP plant, all relevant approvals during planning must be provided, as well as the planning of structural engineering and EMSR technology.
