Heidenheim Hospital
"Our vision: a hospital dialysis centre that combines the latest technology, cost-effectiveness and environmental awareness." This is how Susanne Gaiser, Deputy Director of Nursing and Head of Nursing at Heidenheim Hospital, described the idea for the new dialysis centre.
Implementation: 2023/2024
Solutions in use: HE.RO with connection to district heating, GreenTec Performance System (GPS) Smart Water, Smart Energy
Description of the project
Those responsible were looking for a concept that was as sustainable as possible and at the same time optimised the operating costs.
Our services as GreenTec Dialysis GmbH:
As the general contractor, we first carried out a needs analysis in various areas (nursing, medical, technical) and a product-neutral market analysis.
As a result, we installed a double-stage reverse osmosis system from B.Braun in conjunction with hygienic hot cleaning and the orbital-welded permeate loop (V4A). To perfectly complement this, we have developed our Smart Dialysis concept consisting of Cross-Sector Integrationhere with our HE.RO and connection to district heating, as well as our GPS as control and monitoring software.
We call the combination of sector networking and our GPS "Smart Dialysis®". Smart dialysis® enables our customers to save costs while consuming less energy and water.
This is how we as an industry are getting closer to the goal of green dialysis.
Benefits
- Savings in electricity consumption for dialysis of approx. 10,000 kWh/year (forecast)
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions at approx. 3.8 tonnes/year (forecast)
- Relief for employees through digitisation of logging activities (e.g. daily log)
- Savings on service costs through digitalisation of the water treatment system (remote monitoring)
