Greenvironment receives order from BRUNO BOCK Chemische Fabrik GmbH & Co KG, Marschacht
(firmenpresse) - - A combination of microturbines with industrial heat generators
- Maximum energy efficiency - total efficiency of up to 96 percent
- Use of steam as process heat for chemical manufacturing
Berlin, 20th June 2012 - Greenvironment Plc (WKN: A1JLT1 / Symbol: GIV1) has recently received an order from BRUNO BOCK Chemische Fabrik GmbH & Co KG, Marschacht (Germany), to supply a 2x200 kW microturbine power plant. The delivery of the components will take place in September 2012. Commissioning is planned in October 2012.
BRUNO BOCK Chemische Fabrik GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1937 in Hamburg, specialises in manufacturing of organic sulfur chemicals. BRUNO BOCK (www.brunobock.de) is a leading producer of thioglycolic acid. Besides thioglycolic acid and its derivatives, at the manufacturing site in Marschacht - 30 km east of Hamburg - 3-mercaptopropionic acid, thiolactic acid and their derivatives like polythiols and salts are also being produced.
The main applications of these chemicals are in stabilizers for plastics, in the cosmetic sector (perms, hair removal), in the field of polymer chemistry (paint, acrylic, epoxy resins) and in the use of rubber (e.g. cold flex agent). BRUNO BOCK realizes about 30 percent of its sales in the U.S. together with its subsidiary EVANS CHEMETICS, 40 percent in North and South America and 25 percent in Asia (of which 10 percent in China).
For this project Greenvironment, in cooperation with the renowned SAACKE GmbH, a world leader in combustion technology, delivers a low-emission and highly efficient solution for steam production. It consists of two 200 kW microturbines as well as adapted control technology (including visualization and SCADA) in cabinets. The system components are accurately matched to fit, thus ensuring a perfect synergy.
Capstone microturbines used by Greenvironment convert about 33 percent of the supplied fuel energy into electricity. The remaining 67 percent is available in the form of thermal energy in the exhaust stream at a temperature of around 280 degrees Celsius and with an oxygen content of about 18 percent.
The heat or thermal energy generated in the process is directly fed to a SAACKE gas combustion unit as hot exhaust gas. The oxygen content of the turbine exhaust gas is efficiently used in order to maximize the overall efficiency of the plant. The thermal energy generated in the microturbine CHP plant is optimally used by the adoption of an additional firing.
Dr. Detlef Schmidt, Managing Director of BRUNO BOCK Chemische Fabrik GmbH & Co. KG, said: "We are producing sulfur compounds that are used in many everyday products. The product range where sulfur compounds from the Elbmarsch are used ranges from cosmetics to plastics, heat stabilizers, coatings and adhesives. In the production process, we need a lot of heat. The highly efficient CHP solution from Greenvironment/SAACKE has perfectly met our requirements."
Mr. Jost Sternberg, Technical Director of SAACKE GmbH, adds: "The cooperation with Greenvironment is already yielding fruit and I am convinced that BRUNO BOCK chose the best solution for the generation of process heat that is currently available on the market. In combination with waste heat recovery and additional firing, a microturbine delivers an almost twice as high overall performance compared to conventional systems with gas engine - in other words, thanks to this combination the customer only needs half as much primary energy. This saves money and pays off in hard cash in the medium term."
Mr. Matti Malkamäki, CEO of Greenvironment Plc, said: "We are delighted that we already received the first customer order so soon after the Hanover-Fair, where we presented this trendsetting steam solution in cooperation with SAACKE. In addition, we also have a large number of inquiries regarding this innovative solution on hand."
