Biostoom Beringen

Well thought-out fire detection and safety concept guides Biostoom efficiently from waste to raw material.

Sustainability is Biostoom Beringen’s raison d'être. The Limburg biosteam plant processes 200,000 tonnes of waste annually and converts it into thermal energy via incineration. That energy goes to the nearby environment, in the form of steam, hot water or electricity. It relies on Siemens technology to ensure that the entire process is safe and efficient.

Digitalization sets the trend

The entire construction was based on BIM (Building Information Model) technology, which allows for optimal management from the start and throughout the operational phase.

Biostoom Beringen opted for Siemens' Desigo CC integrated building management platform

The platform provides a clear and real-time view of the status of the building technologies to guarantee continuity and safety while it gives a major efficiency boost to maintenance and management.

The right energy supply

Biostoom Beringen also turned to Siemens for an optimal energy supply. The low-voltage components proved to be an ideal addition to this innovative project ensuring optimal power distribution and smart, future-oriented energy management. 

Thanks to the integrated concept from Siemens, we now have an additional virtual assistant that provides us with the right information at the right time.

Fire safety and security ensures businesses continuity

There is a particular emphasis on fire detection. 3rd party smoke detection cameras were added to the Siemens total concept and play a crucial role in fire prevention by detecting smoke at an early stage.

Additional camera technology also monitors irregularities within the general logistics flow.

Technical knowledge and innovative thinking are the strengths of this collaboration. This is how we’re tackling current and future challenges together.
