Tradition gets a boost
Since May 2014, a compact cogeneration unit produces, in addition to power and heat, also steam for production of about 370 000 hl/annum of Kölsch beer at Cölner Hofbräu P. Josef Früh KG, Cologne. The cogeneration scheme supplied by Sokratherm GmbH, Hiddenhausen, including exhaust steam boiler and housing, achieves an overall efficiency of up to 94.1 percent.
