Future-proof quality Made in Germany

ENERGIFY is a product of CFT GmbH Compact Filter Technic. Our company focuses on devel­oping and manu­fac­turing customer-oriented engin­eering solu­tions for mining, tunnel­ling, tunnel renov­a­tion, and specific indus­trial applic­a­tions. It is our innov­ative spirit and drive to develop products that offer added value for indus­trial processes, people, and the envir­on­ment, even under chal­len­ging condi­tions, that sets us apart. Our devel­op­ment work has resulted in more than 80 patents – and counting.

Sustain­able envir­on­mental and climate protec­tion and resource efficiency are important goals for us. Devel­oping ways to minimize energy and energy costs is a relevant task – across all indus­tries, now and in the future. As a partner to various indus­trial sectors, we have there­fore consist­ently worked on solu­tions that apply our compre­hensive expertise in vent­il­a­tion systems to the field of energy efficiency. The result: the patented ENERGIFY technology – the elec­tri­city produc­tion costs of this system are prob­ably the lowest ever achieved worldwide.

In the past, CFT, a member company of the inter­na­tion­ally oper­ating CFH GmbH, built methane gas extrac­tion systems for coal mining, among other things. The tech­no­lo­gical poten­tial of these systems gave our engin­eers the idea of “reversing” the func­tion of these machines. In the original version, an elec­tric motor drives a rotary piston blower, which trans­ports methane gas by increasing the pres­sure. Now the func­tion is “reversed”: a stream of steam is fed into the rotary piston blower. This drives a blower, which in turn drives an elec­tric gener­ator via a shaft. This gener­ates elec­tri­city that can be fed into the grid. Important insights were gained during devel­op­ment, including that a rotary piston blower is an excel­lent, powerful turbine that is partic­u­larly suit­able for low inlet pressures.

Alle Heraus­for­der­ungen für den Einsatz eines Drehkolbengebläses als Turbine, wie neue Dicht­systeme, neue Schmier­ungssysteme usw., wurden von den Ingenieuren der CFT bis zur Mark­treife der Anlage umge­setzt. Die zur Mark­treife geführte ENERGIFY Tech­no­logie stellt eine Revolu­tion im Bereich der Stromerzeu­gung durch Druck­differenzen bei gasför­migen Medien dar. Für die Anlagen gibt es verschiedene umfassende Anwendungs­mög­lich­keiten, um bisher ungen­utzte Energie bei Druckre­duzier­ungen in CO₂-neut­ralen Strom zu wandeln und erheb­liche Energie­kosten zu sparen.
