The Glass Biogas Plant · Heat network

Heat network transfer

Ventilation/dehumidification — the silent 24/7 load, with heat recovery. Part of the glass family — like our glass BESS, biogas plant and CHP.

What is the heat network transfer?

The transfer station hands the plant's heat to the network. Heat that finds no customer is not a by-product — it is a loss that was paid for with substrate.

The plant — right now

Flow and return temperatures, heat quantity delivered and the demand of the network.

What the AI reads

Delivered heat against produced heat, which exposes what is being wasted
Spread between flow and return as a measure of how well the network is used
Demand pattern of the network against the operating plan of the CHP unit
Losses along the line, read from the difference between both ends

Monitored: continuously · delivered heat and network spread

The scenario: The return temperature creeps upward as customers are added over the years. The network still delivers, but each customer takes less from the same volume of water — the pumps work harder for heat that is no longer being handed over.

Why it matters

Heat utilisation decides whether cogeneration deserves the name. Every unit of heat that reaches a customer is revenue from gas that has already been burnt.
