Based on new technical requirements, the investor Melamin d.d. Kočevje decided to replace the old fossil fuel-fired steam boiler (Đuro Đakovič, No. 5356) with a new boiler with a total capacity of 9.8 MW.

The new steam generation system consists of a biomass storage facility, a transport and delivery system for woodchips, a steam boiler, and an ash collector.

The new boiler house was a challenging project from both a technological and constructional point of view. The construction was also difficult because it took place while the existing boiler (Loos, No. 61428) was in operation. The old boiler is currently used for temporary steam generation, but will only serve as a backup in the future.
