INP takes over general planning for one of the largest river water heat pumps in Germany

INP Deutschland takes over general planning for one of the largest river water heat pumps in Germany

Following the successful commissioning of the first large-scale heat pump as a pilot plant to cover the district heating requirements of a large city in southern Germany at the end of last year, a further river water heat pump plant is now being planned at the same location. INP is once again involved in this project for its customers and is taking on the general planning as extended preliminary planning. INP Deutschland GmbH's planning services cover the areas of construction, mechanical and plant engineering as well as electrical and control technology. Based on technical data from possible suppliers, the technology-open preliminary planning and the preparation of tender documents have already been carried out.

The new heat pump system is to provide a heating output of more than 150 MWth. As a heat source, river water will also be taken from a river via an existing cooling water infrastructure and used to generate heat.

INP is also working as a project planner on several other large-scale industrial heat pump projects with thermal outputs of 10 to 100 MW in various project phases. The heat sources are heterogeneous: sometimes they are industrial plants, sometimes sewage treatment plants, sometimes pumped storage power plants or rivers.

These heat pump systems, and the real and economic implementation of the systems, are a remarkable example of how the energy industry in Germany is changing. It shows how the integration of renewable energies, and the efficient use of waste and environmental heat can help to reduce environmental pollution and at the same time achieve economic benefits. These are pioneering energy transition projects for a cleaner, more efficient, and more sustainable future.
