The Kassø PTX plant in Denmark is the world’s largest commercial e-methanol plant and the first of its kind. The main owner, European Energy, and the electrical installation firm, Soft & Teknik, jointly decided to use Roxtec cable seals to ensure safety and flexibility.
In the 52.5 MW hydrogen plant, solar power and water are used to generate hydrogen. Hydrogen is then mixed with carbon dioxide to produce raw methanol which is finally turned into clean liquid-based e-methanol. The production capacity is 42,000 tons of e-methanol per year. The green fuel is used by large companies such as Circle K, LEGO Group, Maersk and Novo Nordisk. Besides this, the plant helps balance the power grid and provide heating for 3,300 households.
Sealing 28 modular E-houses
Roxtec worked together with Soft & Teknik, which is partly owned by European Energy, to make sure the sealing solutions for the 28 modular E-houses were able to meet the strict safety requirements. Roxtec S and G transits were welded into the floors to seal the entries for power and control cables and protect electrical equipment against hazards such as fire and gas.
Saving time, ensuring safety
Soft & Teknik was very satisfied with the Roxtec service and support throughout the project.
“We have chosen Roxtec as a partner because the project required a high degree of safety and a need for flexible solutions,” says David Seip, Electrical Lead of Soft & Teknik.
The flexibility of Roxtec seals was helpful for keeping the project deadline. As the Roxtec rubber sealing modules are adaptable to cables of different sizes, it was easy for the electrical installers of Soft & Teknik to handle a variety of cable dimensions onsite. Speed and simplicity are important factors when it comes to installation of cable seals. You must know that the installation process runs smoothly without delaying the project – or compromising safety.
