CNIM to Optimize Renewable Heat Production for Nantes District Heating

This project consolidates CNIM’s status as a major player in
district heating system optimization using heat pumps connected to waste
to energy plants. The Group has forged a European reputation for its
expertise and know-how in this area.


PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/EnergyEfficiency?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#EnergyEfficiencylt;/agt;–CNIM, a French international industrial equipment manufacturer and
integrator, has entered into an agreement concerning the energy
efficiency optimisation at the waste-to-energy plant serving the cities
of Nantes and Saint Nazaire, in the North West of France. Under the
terms of this agreement, CNIM will install an absorption heat pump to
boost the supply of hot water to Nantes.

The delivery is scheduled for October 2019. The new system has been
designed to inject 3.1 MW of heat energy into Nantes’ district heating
system.

2018: Two contracts to upgrade heat networks in France and Switzerland

Prior to this agreement, CNIM won two other major contracts to
upgrade the energy efficiency of waste-to-energy plants in France and
Switzerland, and to supply district heating networks with renewable
energy.

  • Supplying 30 MW to Basel’s district heating network by recovering heat
    from flue gases (Switzerland)
  • Recovering low pressure steam from a turbine and supplying 13 MW of
    heat energy in Brive (France)

CNIM has been improving energy efficiency for more than 60 years

CNIM supplies 1 MW and larger custom heat pumps and chillers to
tackle energy efficiency challenges at industrial facilities in numerous
sectors, including the oil, petrochemicals, chemical, energy and
shipping industries.

This turnkey offering, covering design, construction and
maintenance services, dovetails with those of other CNIM Group entities
and subsidiaries in areas such as heat process engineering,
waste-to-energy and biomass-to-energy solutions, flue gas treatment,
thermal power plant renovation projects and industrial boiler plants.

As well as absorption heat pumps & chillers, CNIM provides heat
storage systems
for district heating operators. These are based on
steam or pressurised water tanks that store heat during peak production
and release it to the network during peak demand.
