Croatian company HELB's experts have started another successful co-operation with Turboden.

Project in question is an investment of Geothermie Holzkirchen GmbH, for the construction of a geothermal power plant in a town south of Munich, which feeds the local grid of renewable electric energy and provides clean thermal energy for households connected to the district heating network.

HELB's part of the project includes commissioning of the entire geothermal power plant 3.4 MW, a total of about 1,500 signals, and testing the function of not only the vent and control but also the function of the safety of PLCs which at any moment of anomaly should stop the energy. 

Holzkirchen is currently the southernmost and deepest hydrothermal geothermal project in Germany. The two wells drilled in 2016 and 2017 reached final depths of approx. 5,100 m (vertical) with a drilling distance of up to 6,084 m. The geothermal plant in Holzkirchen is to be operated with a temperature of approx. 155°C and a production rate of approx. 55 l/s.
