RWE produces 600 megawatt of electricity and 350 megawatt of heat at the Amercentrale (Amer power plant). Energy for over 1 million households. The heat produced by unit 9 (in operation since 1993) is used to heat greenhouses in the Plukmadesepolder (Municipality of Drimmelen) and for district heating in parts of the cities of Breda and Tilburg. The most important fuels are coal and biomass, in the form of wood pellets.

Lubrafil was responsible for the entire project - including engineering, purchasing, implementation, realisation and commissioning, in close partnership with two suppliers. One supplier for the metal frame on which all parts are fitted and the other for the control system and electrical connections.
We constructed two parallel filtration systems, each equipped with a Boll & Kirch automatic back‑flushing filter, type 6.18DN100. Both systems have their own pump units. The overall control takes place via a PLC, preprogrammed in accordance with a safety protocol, enabling the system to function reliably and without fault. All signals from the PLC are read into the power plant’s main system and monitored.
