The Bad Lauchstädt Energy Park (EBL) comprises eight specially constructed, latest-generation wind turbines with a rated output of 50 megawatts.
A total of seven consortium partners are involved in this ‘real-world laboratory for the energy transition’, which also receives federal funding. Elektrolyse Mitteldeutschland GmbH has commissioned STREICHER Anlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG to carry out the engineering and installation of the pipework, as well as the assembly of six electrolysers for hydrogen production, nine module skids and two tanks.
Work began on the construction site in October 2024, where, amongst other things, the hall to accommodate the electrolysers, as well as the foundations and plinths for its various plant components, had previously been built. STREICHER Anlagenbau’s initial task was to erect and assemble the large components. This also included two tanks for the potash lye, which were installed outdoors and fitted with access ladders and superstructures. The next step involved the associated components of the electrolysers, which were mounted on a total of nine skids and delivered in stages. Finally, the team installed the connecting pipework.
The plant is currently undergoing commissioning.
