New oil tank farm and steam boiler plant
OEST mineral oil plant in Freudenstadt

State-of-the-art steam boiler plant
Instead of just replacing the aging steam boiler, the Oest Group rebuilt the entire boiler house to take advantage of technical innovations and benefit from a high level of automation. SÜLZLE KOPF Gebäudetechnik installed a state-of-the-art boiler system with an integrated waste gas heat exchanger with a capacity of 5,000 kg/h including a feed water tank with a capacity of 5,000 liters as well as all necessary fittings and piping. The new burner technology not only enables the optional use of fuel oil or natural gas, but also improves the economic and ecological efficiency of the plant thanks to its optimized efficiency.
New oil tank farm with 480,000 liters capacity
SÜLZLE KOPF Anlagenbau prevailed over the other bidders on the basis of a detailed installation principle to save costs and time and was awarded the contract for the manufacture and delivery of six new storage tanks with a total volume of 480,000 liters. The tanks (each 13 meters high, diameter 3 meters, weight 10 tons) were manufactured at the Sulz-Bergfelden plant and three of them were additionally insulated. The other three tanks were painted in Schömberg, with one tank receiving an elaborate special paint finish in line with the customer’s logo as an “oil barrel”.
The sophisticated design (standing frame for later anchoring) and the logistics concept (coordination of six heavy-duty transports and four tractor-trailers with accessories, boiler and chimney) ensured for the customer that the delivery as well as the erection and installation of the catwalks, the chimney and the boilers could be handled in one day. As the new tank facility is located next to the Freudenstadt – Karls- ruhe railroad line on the one hand and on a main thoroughfare in Freudenstadt on the other, a 280-ton and a 100-ton mobile crane had to be positioned for the installation operation in such a way that sufficient distance to the overhead lines was ensured and the thoroughfare only had to be closed on one side. The first container was unloaded at 7 a.m. at daybreak, and the 300-ton mobile crane was able to leave the site at around 7 p.m. Task solved!
