At a glance
The TurbX expansion turbine is used when natural gas is expanded from high pressure to 5 bar. The plant is designed for 5,000 Nm3/h and generates 150 kW of electrical power. The idea of using a turbine or motor instead of a pressure reducing valve to expand natural gas and generate electricity is neither new nor particularly innovative. However, TurbX AG now offers a technology from the company Innovatium, which represents a novelty: the necessary gas heating 5 is done with a heat pump concept and is therefore CO2-free. By eliminating the costs for heating, payback times are significantly reduced. The TurbX expansion turbine can be used in pressure reduction and measuring stations (DRM) of gas utilities.
