When positioning the boiler house on the company premises, the following requirements and aspects, among others, must be taken into account:

  • Fuel supply and storage
  • Required space for the boiler house and chimney system
  • Expansion potential of the system
  • Noise emissions occurring
  • Location of production facilities on the company premises (as close as possible to consumers)
  • Fire compartments or explosion areas
  • Soil conditions and possible structural requirements (e.g. water protection area or earthquake zone)
  • Architectural and design aspects

Some of these requirements cannot all be fully met at the same time, especially in the case of historically grown businesses. Therefore, there will not be a location that is ideal for all requirements, but rather a compromise between the operational and technical requirements and the economically optimal location.
