This heat has not been fully utilized to date. At the same time, there was a need to dry own wood chips and locally supplied brewer&#8217;s grains cost-effectively in order to improve storability and energy content.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padb=&#8221;50&#8243; mobpadb=&#8221;20&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1757669287878{border-radius: 1px !important;border-color: #70C300 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The challenge: Excess heat and residual materials&#8221; farbe=&#8221;blau&#8221; fontsize=&#8221;fs25&#8243; schriftschnitt=&#8221;bold&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text fontsize=&#8221;fs18&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;]During the heating season, the wood-fired boilers reliably supply heat.
