The Duisburg-Hamborn combined heat and power plant , or HKW Hamborn for short , is a gas-fired combined heat and power plant on the premises of the Duisburg-Bruckhausen / Schwelgern steelworks of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe (TKSE) in the north of Duisburg . The power plant bears its name after the Hamborn district , to which the plant historically belonged.
The power plant, together with the Hermann Wenzel power plant, supplies the steelworks with electricity and process steam and uses the dome gases generated during iron and steel production and in the connected Schwelgern coking plant . The power plant is operated by TKSE in cooperation with RWE Generation .
location
The power plant is located on the premises of the TKSE steelworks on the right bank of the Rhine in the north of Duisburg. The border between the Duisburg districts of Marxloh- Schwelgern (Hamborn district) in the north and Bruckhausen (since 1975 part of the Meiderich / Beeck district ) in the south runs across the steelworks site to the north of the power plant . According to today's definition (as a city district), the power plant is no longer in Hamborn; but since the plant historically belonged to Hamborn, the name for the power plant was retained.
history
The power plant was built with two small blocks in the course of the reconstruction of the steelworks after the Second World War in the early 1950s. A new, larger block was added at the end of the 1950s and mid-1970s.
In 2000 ThyssenKrupp and RWE decided to jointly build a new block (number "5"), which was operated by RWE and was to replace the old blocks 1 and 2 of the plant. In August 2003 the new block went into operation.
ThyssenKrupp acquired the power plant from RWE on May 31, 2017 and is now the owner and operator.
Structure and functionality
The power plant consists of five blocks, three of which have now been shut down (as of 2014):
