VB Geo Projects was recently contracted to design and realize the geothermal installation works for Vogelaer 2. Vogelaer 2 is an extension of the existing geothermal heat project of Vogelaer, for which a complete above-ground installation will be built.
The above-ground geothermal plant will separate the geothermal water from the natural gas by means of a gas separation unit after which it will be led through a filter unit to the heat exchangers. In the heat exchangers, the heat is gained from the geothermal water after which it is passed through a filtration system to the injection pumps. The injection pumps will pump the geowater back into the ground.
The geothermal heat is pumped to the customers by means of large transport pumps. Because both Vogelaer projects are linked, this heat can be used for both the existing customers of Geothermal Heat Vogelaer and the new customers of Geothermal Heat Vogelaer 2. Work on the new facilities is expected to begin in September this year and to be completed in 2024.
