Technological system of EC is adjusted to the diversified structure of its customers.
Flexibility of the system enables obtaining carrier of thermal energy in two modes,
either in cogeneration or linkeage mode. In the process of producing heated water for
central heating the WR boiler is connected with the exchangers cooperating with OR boilers.
Process water is obtained from exchangers supplied with 0,5 Mpa steam obtained from two
boilers through the turbine or reduction stations. Today electricity is generated only in
the heating season. MPGK and Fabryka Maszyn Glinik S.A. are EC major customers of thermal
energy. FM Glinik S.A. is the main purchaser of electric energy, while Zakład Energetyczny
Kraków buys small amount of electricity. As at December 31, 2020 the annual production of
heat was 182.209 GJ and annual production of electricity was 5712 MWh.

Elektrociepłownia Gorlice is fired with hard coal delivered from Silesia by railway
transport. Coal is stored on the 10 0000 ton storage yard. Then, it is handled to the
boiler bin by means of the skew belt conveyor flight. In the production process EC burns
coal of the following parameters:

Water for process purposes is taken from the Ropa river. It is used in the closed
circuit. Small amount of water used for regeneration of cation and anion exchangers is
taken away by collector number 4 to the river. Storm water is taken away directly to the
river. Total capacity of the water treatment station for process purposes i.e. boiler
circuit and thermal network is 15 m3/h of demi water.
