LK supplies energy
In addition to producing pipes, the LK Group also supplies energy to a local electricity supplier.
The heating system of the pipe production factory uses the heated cooling water and air from the infrared ovens that are the by-products of the productions process. The hot air emitted by infrared heat ovens is approximately 400 °C and this is directed into a heat exchanger. The heated cooling water and water from the heat exchanger reaches a temperature of over 80 degrees and it is delivered to a local electricity supplier, Ulricehamns Energi AB.
Ulricehamns Energi is hoping for more companies to start to think in terms of energy usage, and suppliers.
The LK Group is very proud to be able to delivery pipes that are not only of high quality, but produced in an an environmentally conscious way.
