Norway-headed thermal energy storage (TES) solution provider Kyoto Group has announced its second European Heatcube installation at KALL Ingredients in Hungary nears completion.
According to a statement, the milestone brings the Group closer to decarbonizing industrial steam by delivering renewable thermal energy solutions and driving impactful change in how industries harness sustainable power.
The collaboration between KALL Ingredients, a Hungarian corn processing company, and Kyoto Group is driving this Hungarian Heatcube project forward and exemplifies how industries can unite to achieve sustainability goals, accelerating progress and innovation towards a greener future.
Installation of key components
This Heatcube project has reached significant engineering milestones, with 95 percent of the engineering work now completed.
The structural framework of Heatcube itself is now fully constructed, marking a pivotal point in the project’s development.
The installation of critical components, including the steam generator system (SGS), 8 molten salt tanks, drain tank, heaters, transformers, electrical house, pumps, panels, and the battery management system have also been completed.
Each of these components plays a vital role in ensuring the efficient operation of Heatcube, contributing to its ability to provide a constant flow of decarbonized steam.
Final stages of construction
The medium voltage (MV) structure and the building for the MV switch gear have been completed.
Work has begun on the heater and heat tracing panels, along with the pre-fabrication of the mechanical components. These developments are laying the groundwork for the next phase of the project.
According to Kyoto Group, by “providing KALL Ingredients with a reliable and cost-effective source of decarbonized steam, we are demonstrating the viability and benefits of our Heatcube solution and Heat as a Service (HaaS) offering.”
