The District Heating Plant of Berlin Buch (HKW Buch) is part of Vattenfall Heat Europe Division. The HKW Buch provides district heating for approx. 10.000 flats, the Helios medical center and the “Campus Buch” with almost 50 companies. Currently, 25 t/h of steam is generated by 4 conventional boilers, lead to a 3-stage backpressure steam turbine and an economizer, where hot water for district heating is generated.
In future, the base load steam demand will be generated via GTGS and HRSG. The existing boilers will be back up equipment.
