This Centre has a trigeneration plant to produce steam, cold water and electricity, with a level of energy efficiency above 70%.
Surplus production is sent back to the network, which reduces the cost of supplies and achieves major energy savings for companies.
 

 

 

Thanks to this plant, companies receive the following supplies:

- Hot water at 80ºC
- Cold water at 5ºC
- Glycol water at -10ºC
- Coolant: CO2 (-10ºC, -35ºC and -45ºC)
- Steam at 10 bar

 

 

 

The objective of the IOC is to avoid the need for individual investments by each company. Thanks to this innovative system savings of up to 15% can be achieved in energy costs.


Synergies are sought in all processes and services, leading to energy efficiency of over 80%.

 

TRIGENERATION 

(Steam, cold, electricity)


Steam at 12 bar and at a temperature of 200ºC


Hot water at 80ºC


Cold water at 5.5ºC through a process of absorption of BrLi


Electricity
