In the heart of Solingen, a city renowned for its technological prowess, an innovative dialysis service is making waves. The Nierenzentrum Solingen, in partnership with Krankenhaus Bethanien and GreenTec Dialysis GmbH, has established an eco-friendly dialysis service at Gesundheitszentrum Aufderhöhe of Diakonie Bethanien. This service, named "Smart Dialysis," aims to revolutionize dialysis treatment by combining advanced technology and sustainability.
The Smart Dialysis solution, a unique blend of photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, and a digital-controlled hot water storage tank, promises to significantly improve energy and water efficiency. This innovative approach is expected to reduce the centre's annual energy consumption by approximately 55,000 kWh, accounting for 55% of its current consumption.
Moreover, the Smart Dialysis solution is poised to decrease CO2 emissions by 24.5 tons annually and save 575,000 litres of water. These figures underscore the solution's potential to contribute to a more sustainable future for healthcare.
Dr. Christoph Zwernemann, one of the five doctors at the Nierenzentrum Solingen, emphasized the energy-intensive nature of dialysis treatments. He welcomed the Smart Dialysis initiative, stating that it aligns with the organisation's mission to preserve and carefully handle resources.
Kai Goetze, CEO of Krankenhaus Bethanien, has shown unwavering support for the project. He provided necessary construction measures and a roof area for the photovoltaic system, enabling the Smart Dialysis service to take root at Gesundheitszentrum Aufderhöhe.
