Erdinger Brewery Location: BY Operator: Privatbrauerei Erdinger Weissbrau Werner Brombach Configuration: 1 X 240 kW HM300 Fuel: biogas Operation: 2009 FC supplier: MTU Quick facts: Before being discharged, the waste water in the Erdinger facility is sent to an in-house anaerobic pre-sewage treatment system. One of the by-products is biogas and this is sent to a gas cleaning system, also developed by MTU, and then passed to the fuel cell. With heat recovery for space and water heating, thermal efficiencies for the FC installation are in 90% range. The new power plant was inaugurated by the German Federal Minister of Economics and Technology Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg on 8 Jun 2009.
