Case study Bóly
Description Bóly is a small agricultural town with 4000 inhabitants. In 2006, a district heating project is born : 1500 m deep production well was drilled. The wellhead temperature is 84°C in this well. A 2.5 km long pipeline transports hot water. At the end of the pipeline, the thermal water is 76°C, which is reinjected under the ground. With the help of this system, the town gas consumption has been reduced by 800 000m3 per year.
