More of our products are heading to Africa

During our spring trip to Ghana, thanks in part to our partner company SEDA AFRICA GROUP, we were able to reestablish contact with J&P Engineering, with whom we had previously collaborated on the delivery of a large gas regulation station. J&P Engineering specializes in the design and construction of industrial energy facilities for converting biomass and industrial waste into clean energy—whether in the form of electricity, steam, or hot water. The result of these discussions was a new contract for our company, HUTIRA, to manufacture specific technological equipment that will become part of an extensive biomass boiler system. We are contributing to technology that utilizes renewable energy sources, which is in line with our corporate philosophy. The fuel used here includes, for example, wood waste from forest thinning, as well as agricultural residues such as cocoa shells, coffee grounds, and rice husks.

The most challenging part of the entire project was negotiating the precise technical specifications, which—with the exception of a single in-person meeting with engineers in Ghana—took place remotely via conference calls. Thanks to the experience and expertise of our specialists, everything went smoothly, and we designed, manufactured, and shipped the required equipment during the first week of December onto a ship bound for its final destination in Cameroon.

“The negotiations in Ghana, as well as the remote discussions throughout the entire project, were quite complex and provided us with a wealth of new experience that we would like to utilize and build upon in future projects in this region. We are very pleased to be able to deliver solutions that will help develop the energy sector in the African market,” says Petr Hajný, Sales Director, who was personally involved in the project.

This project is further confirmation that HUTIRA’s technologies help modernize the energy sector even outside of Europe. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in projects that effectively utilize sustainable energy sources and make sense both ecologically and economically.
