GKS-Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Schweinfurt GmbH operates a coal-fired power plant with an integrated waste incineration plant. The facilities essentially are located on the same site and are to be considered as one unit.

Overview of the facilities:

Main facilities:

Coal-fired Heat and Power Plant (= Coal Combustion Plant):

• 2 coal-fired steam boilers (each generating 70 t of steam per hour at 113 bar and 535 ° C) with a combustible heat capacity of 63 MW each and an annually coal throughput of approximately 35,000 tons which are delivered by ship and railway.

Waste-to-Energy Plant (= Waste Incineration Plant):

• 3 waste-fired steam boilers (each generating 25 t of steam per hour at 65 bar and 435 ° C) with a combustible heat capacity of 20,8 MW each and an annually waste throughput of approximately 180.000 tons which are delivered exclusively by truck.

Ancillary facilities:

Peak Heat Plant North:

• 2 flame tube – steam boilers, for natural gas and fuel oil with a combustible heat capacity of 21,2 MW and 49,5 MW for a total of up to 100 t of steam per hour with 190 ° C and 5 bar (for district heating only).

Diesel Engines:

• 2 Diesel engines (fuel power: 11 MW each) (for electrical power only); also used for emergency power generation.

Steam Turbines:

• 1 back-pressure steam turbine with an electrical power of 12 MW and
• 1 extraction steam turbine with an electrical power of 17 MW

District Heating Net with Steam Injection at about 5 bar and 190 °C:

• back-pressure by back-pressure steam turbines
• extraction from extraction steam turbine
• by-pass station

Peak Heat Plant South:
