High perform­ance.
Even at very low pres­sure differences.

The steam turbines from ENERGIFY, equipped with their special rotary piston unit (rotary piston expander), are designed for maximum steam efficiency. With ENERGIFY, companies can achieve prof­it­able in-house power gener­a­tion even at low pres­sures starting from 0.5 bar/​g.

With ENERGIFY, saving elec­tri­city becomes simple and reli­able.
The systems are designed for use across different indus­tries and can be flex­ibly adapted to specific on-site require­ments. ENERGIFY integ­rates seam­lessly into any steam network, is compat­ible with various types of steam gener­a­tion — satur­ated steam, wet steam, and super­heated steam — and reduces external elec­tri­city purchases without disrupting the produc­tion process.

ENERGIFY: Easy to retrofit.

Thanks to its compact design and integ­rated intel­li­gent control technology, ENERGIFY can be seam­lessly integ­rated into existing control systems — without disrupting oper­a­tions.
In addi­tion, the system auto­mat­ic­ally adapts to current process condi­tions. The result: effi­cient in-house power gener­a­tion directly from your process energy.

How ENERGIFY works

„To ensure unin­ter­rupted oper­a­tion, our system always oper­ates in bypass mode. The basic setup is as follows: Steam or any other gas is expanded to a lower pres­sure level in a rotary piston expander. This gener­ates mech­an­ical energy, which is trans­ferred via a shaft to an asyn­chronous gener­ator that then feeds elec­tri­city into the low-voltage grid.”

From Idea to Savings — The Step-by-Step Journey with ENERGIFY

How we unlock your energy potential:

1. Assess­ment

We analyze your existing data and eval­uate the tech­nical poten­tial for energy savings and power gener­a­tion with ENERGIFY.

2. On-Site-Visit

In a personal meeting at your site, we get to know each other and gain a prac­tical, tailored over­view of your steam system and oper­ating conditions.

3. Engin­eering

Based on the collected data, we develop a custom­ized concept for integ­rating ENERGIFY into your system — including a full prof­it­ab­ility analysis.

4. Commis­sioning

After your ENERGIFY unit has been manu­fac­tured at our produc­tion site in Marl, we ensure profes­sional install­a­tion, smooth commis­sioning, and hands-on training for your team — for a perfect start.

5. Support

Even after commis­sioning, we remain at your side: with main­ten­ance, monit­oring, and expert support throughout the entire life­cycle of your system.

Frequently asked ques­tions.
We are happy to answer them.

What is ENERGIFY?

ENERGIFY is a special low-pres­sure expan­sion unit based on a special rotary piston unit (rotary piston expander). It enables steam used in indus­trial applic­a­tions to be effi­ciently converted into elec­trical energy at appro­priate points in the steam network.

High perform­ance even at minimal pres­sure differ­ences and high avail­ab­ility due to robust and low-main­ten­ance design.

How can I find out whether ENERGIFY can be used to increase efficiency in my application?

By completing the request form, we can carry out initial perform­ance calcu­la­tions for you.

What distin­guishes ENERGIFY from other steam expan­sion tech­no­lo­gies for power generation?

ENERGIFY can use steam whose pres­sure or pres­sure differ­ence, is too low, e. g. at pres­sure redu­cing valves, to operate a conven­tional steam turbine economically.

What are ENER­GI­FY’s requirements?

Satur­ated steam, super­heated steam, or wet steam with temper­at­ures of 200 °C can be used. The steam must be free of metal particles, dust, chem­ical impur­ities, air, etc.

The following connec­tion condi­tions apply to the currently designed system types:

• Power connec­tion: 400 V, 3Ph, 50 Hz
• Compressed air/​control air supply for drives

Connec­tion to fresh steam and exhaust steam line (T 200 °C, p 15 bar/​g).

Is it possible to expand other gases besides water vapor?

Yes, other gases besides steam can also be expanded. The maximum permiss­ible pres­sure must be observed. Further­more, the gases should not be chem­ic­ally aggressive.

In which pres­sure ranges can ENERGIFY operate?

This depends on the oper­ating condi­tions at the user’s site, e.g., the design of a condenser, a down­stream steam applic­a­tion, and the hydraulic condi­tions of the down­stream piping system.

The maximum inlet pres­sure is 15 bar, with a minimum pres­sure differ­ence of 0.5 bar.

What is the assumed service life for ENERGIFY?

ENERGIFY is rated for approx­im­ately 20 years of operation.

What are the estim­ated invest­ment costs for the module?

Invest­ment costs depend on the perform­ance class of ENERGIFY. The perform­ance class is determ­ined by the given steam para­meters. A payback period of 3 years is possible. We would be pleased to provide you with a non-binding quote.

How much are the life cycle costs for ENERGIFY?

In prin­ciple, follow-up costs are limited to annual main­ten­ance costs. These costs amount to approx­im­ately 3% of the total investment.

Is it possible to receive remu­ner­a­tion for the elec­tri­city gener­ated by ENERGIFY in accord­ance with the KWKG (German Combined Heat and Power Act)?

Yes, depending on the primary energy source used and the heat util­isa­tion, a feed-in tariff can currently be applied for the elec­tri­city supplied by ENERGIFY. ENERGIFY alone is not a CHP plant, but in combin­a­tion with a steam boiler, a CHP plant can be created.

ENERGIFY gener­ates elec­tri­city from steam volumes, such as exhaust steam or steam conver­sion, which previ­ously could not be used to generate elec­tri­city. This elec­tri­city can replace conven­tion­ally gener­ated elec­tri­city. ENERGIFY thus reduces CO₂ emis­sions that would have been produced during the gener­a­tion of the elec­tri­city it replaces.
