Municipal service Lang offers a wide range of services, including sale, foresty, truck container transportation, garden-waste crushing, forest mulching, de-icing, rootstock cutting, agricultural services, composting and cleaning hydraulic structures. The factories, one residential building and the woodchip container drying facility are supplied with heat by a wood gasifier with an output of 45 kWel and 120 kWth.
The electricity produced is fed into the public grid, and remuneration paid in accordance with the German Renewable Energy Sources Act.
Wood chip drying:
The waste heat from the Biomass power plant is blown into approx. 22 m³ containers through a heat exchanger and blower from the bottom up. The incoming air dries the wood chips within about a week, and is then stored in a covered bunker. Two containers are connected to the Biomass CHP in parallel.
