Project: feasibility study
Company.
Year of the study: 2024
Aim of the study:
To find the most technically and economically suitable solution for a comprehensive renewal of the heating system and the addition of cooling for the production halls on the premises of the Canpack plant in Košice.

An essential part of the proposed measures was the modification of heat distribution.
A total of 6 variants of measures leading to the decarbonisation of the plant were elaborated. All solutions included the use of waste heat and the centralisation of cold production, taking into account to varying degrees the possibility of maintaining the gas boiler plant as a bivalent source.
A key element of the decarbonisation concept was the use of waste heat from the production process, which created a central source of heat and cooling for the production halls and the administration building.
Due to the intermittent mode of production, a set of air-to-water heat pumps, supplemented by an electric boiler, was designed as the main source of heat and cooling.

Expected outcome of the feasibility study:
By implementing the proposed measures, the plant could save up to 100% of the natural gas needed for heating and covering heat losses through ventilation and reduce CO₂ equivalent emissions from heating by up to 80%, with an investment of approx. 1.5mil EUR (excluding VAT).
