Valmet will supply the complete Valmet DNAe Distributed Control System (DCS) and safety systems for PEC Gliwice Sp. z o.o.’s new waste-to-energy steam unit, part of the Green Energy Park project under construction in Gliwice, Poland. The order was placed by the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) consortium consisting of Mostostal Zabrze Gliwickie Przedsi?biorstwo Budownictwa Przemys?owego S.A., Oschatz Power GmbH, and Przedsi?biorstwo Remontów Ulic i Mostów S.A. (PRUiM).
The mission-critical automation system is designed to ensure safe and efficient operation of the complex multifuel energy facility. It also aims to maximize energy recovery, enable transparent monitoring and data-driven optimization, and help reduce operating costs and environmental impacts.
“Our Green Energy Park is a key investment within the long-term strategy to modernize the city’s heating and waste processing infrastructure. It is a flagship circular-economy project for the city, and it was essential for us to equip it with modern, reliable technologies ensuring safe and highly efficient operation. We needed a comprehensive automation and safety concept capable of integrating all process areas and supporting the long-term stability of the facility. Advanced automation will play a key role in enabling efficient, safe and reliable operation of this multifuel energy system,” says Krzysztof Szali?ski, President of the Management Board, PEC Gliwice Sp. z o.o.
“The facility is being constructed by a consortium responsible for the overall EPC scope, combining construction expertise with advanced process engineering capabilities. In preparing the automation concept for this project, we focused on solutions offering high integration capability, a SIL3-compliant safety architecture, and user-friendly operation supported by advanced analytics. From our previous cooperation with Valmet, we know their technology stands out for its strong track record in waste-to-energy and district-heating applications, as well as its extensive know-how in the energy sector,” says Dr. Christian Linder, Managing Director, Oschatz Power GmbH.
“We are proud to support PEC Gliwice in building a modern, sustainable heat and power facility for the city. This project is an excellent example of how advanced automation contributes to the efficient, safe, and reliable operation of multifuel energy systems.
