The Vereinigte Leipziger Wohnungsgenossenschaft eG has been using the portal-based SAM DISTRICT ENERGY software since 2018. The portal provides professional support in heat management by a number of optimized functions for heating and district heating controllers and heat meters.
Controlling the Hydraulic Worst Case from the Cloud
- Energiegenossenschaft Emstal
- SAM DISTRICT ENERGY
Lathen, a community in northern Germany, expanded its existing local heat supply network, which is operated by the Energiegenossenschaft Emstal energy supplier association, to include control of the hydraulic worst case. This involved installation of the web-based SAM DISTRICT ENERGY asset management tool and SAM MOBILE gateways for mobile phone networks.
Largest Project for Remote Polling of District Heating Data in Western Europe
- Vattenfall Wärme Berlin AG
- SAM DISTRICT ENERGY
At the beginning of December 2017, SAMSON AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT and Vattenfall Wärme Berlin AG signed a contract to interconnect more than 31,000 district heating stations in Berlin, Germany using the cloud-based SAM DISTRICT ENERGY application. SAM DISTRICT ENERGY polls data from utility meters and district heating controllers in real time and visualizes them. As a result, exact consumption statistics can be created and automated billing becomes possible. Analyses of the yearly down to the hourly consumption serve as the basis for an increased energy efficiency within the district heating system.
Renewal of flue gas valves at BAYERNOIL
During the 2020 plant turnaround – a scheduled plant shutdown to inspect, clean, repair and renew the BAYERNOIL facilities in Neustadt, Germany –, nine butterfly valves used to handle flue gas were up for replacement. They are installed in three furnaces where the product is heated up for further processing. Temperatures reach up to 600 °C.
The project was managed by SAMSON's Burgkirchen office where a suitable solution was developed and implemented. Together with an external partner, four-slat louvers automated by SAMSON PFEIFFER actuators were developed.
Diligent and on-time planning with the persons in charge at SAMSON and at BAYERNOIL were essential to the project's success. Communication channels were always open, production was started on time, inspections were performed at the manufacturer’s and all products were delivered on time: milestones in the project. The nine flue gas valves were
installed into the plant by ASE GmbH in March 2020 and have been running without any problems ever since.
BAYERNOIL Raffineriegesellschaft mbH is a refining network owned by Varo Energy GmbH (51.43 %), Rosneft Deutschland GmbH (28.57 %) and Eni Deutschland GmbH (20 %). The company operates the largest refinery in Bavaria with production sites in Vohburg and Neustadt an der Donau. The two locations are connected by 11 pipelines and work together as one unit. Every year, the approximately 780 members of staff turn around 10 million tons of crude oil into liquefied gases, fuels (mogas, jet fuel, diesel) as well as fuel oil, heating fuels and bitumen.
