Operating in the Power and Energy sector, especially with biomass and solid fuels, brings a distinct set of engineering challenges. Power plants run constantly, needing a steady flow of materials. They handle various demanding fuels like wood pellets, wood chips, bark, agricultural residues, and biomass dust. These materials are abrasive, have changing moisture levels, and often fall under ATEX classifications. This means handling systems must be very safe and mechanically strong. If a system fails, it causes more than just downtime; it creates significant operational and safety risks.
At Lachenmeier Monsun, we have a deep understanding of these important operational needs. Our work with the energy industry began early, when we supplied conveyors for some of the first wood pellet factories.
This experience quickly grew into designing complete conveying systems and biofuel storage solutions for power plants. Today, our solutions for biofuel storage and handling make up a large part of our business, showing our many years of specialized knowledge. We design bulk handling systems specifically for these conditions, ensuring steady performance under constant load condition. We focus strongly on resistance to wear, ease of maintenance, and operational safety. Our projects, like increasing storage capacity at ØRSTED AVEDØRE or providing intake systems for ØRSTED STUDSTRUP, show our ability to deliver tailored solutions for complex energy production plants.
A wide range of our products and solutions within conveying, dust aspiration, and renewable energy storage technology are specially designed to meet the highly demanding needs of the energy and recycling industries. The products are built to store and transport as much as 1500 tons of biofuel per hour; every hour, 365 days a year, with minimum strain on the environment.
A lot of companies within the energy industry are met with societal obligations relating to safety, environmental impact, and the limitation of dust - this is also true for biofuel power plants. Our solutions take all these factors into consideration. At Lachenmeier Monsun, our team has extensive experience and knowledge in designing the solutions needed in biofuel power plant storage, minimizing societal hazards like fire, explosions, and fine particle intake.
Our solutions extend beyond renewable energy storage technology. Our wide range of full-setup solutions is relevant and ideal for multiple industries, as we also bring premium, sustainable solutions to the food industry, feed and grain, and ship ports and terminals.
