DECENTRAL ENERGY FROM WOOD: ENERGY GENERATION VIA OUR CHP CLINX!
Energy charge from wood: We convert wood residues and waste into energy by means of our Combined Heat-power Plant (CHP) ClinX! Along with the development of external combusted micro gas turbine (EFGT), we devote ourselves to the task to make efficient use of the self-shrinking energy potential, and to realize an environment friendly usage for residues.
ClinX, the CHP-system, represents “Clean Incineration from X” — the clean combustion of random residues or biomass. These residues will be converted into electricity, heat or cold and be put in use directly on site in a decentralized way, without any consideration about disposal costs. It is so by B+K: there is no waste for us, only energy carrier. The decentralized energy supply resp. electricity generation which exactly take place in the very site where it is required, makes a huge sense both ecologically and economically.
ClinX makes the best use of energetic potentials of the materials and plays a pioneer role in the power classes due to the advanced technology of pollution control. The Combined Heat-power Plant (CHP) is designed for the utilization of heterogeneous and woody fuels. What’s more special is that, with ClinX® even wood residues with a high branch and bark proportion and a high water content can be converted into electricity and heat.

Tons of unused residual forest wood
Green energy form wood waste: ClinX® recycles residual forest wood, landscape maintenance wood (wood accompanying roads, wood from the maintenance of parks and biotopes), untreated industrial waste wood, and damaged wood (wood with pest infestation or by bark beetles). So far, a large part of the woody residue remains unused due to high logistics costs. In Germany, the value stays up to 11.8 million tons of residual forest wood and 1.1 million tons of landscape maintenance wood every year.
In addition, a multiple of the solid wood residues is simply burned without the resulting heat being used efficiently and without electricity generated in parallel. We strive for sustainable decentralized energy production from wood or wood waste.
THE TECHNOLOGY ClinX®
The basic principle of Combined Heat-Power (CHP) is quickly described: When a fuel is burned, heat is generated at first. This drives a turbine and a generator to generate electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. The efficiency of energy generation is particularly high, since the same primary energy generates usable heat as well as (green) electricity. In CHP-ClinX, this principle is realized through the combination of combustion chamber and an external combusted micro gas turbine. The system unites innovative technology, durable materials and the art of engineering. The facility is characterized by robust individual components and a long product life.
➌ Heat from the combustion process will be guided into a unique high-temperature heat exchanger. Here according to counter-current principle, the heat will be transferred from exhaust gas to compressed ambient air and then guided into the turbine wheel in direct sequence. The gas streams are limited from one another, so that smoke gas particles will never land into the micro gas turbine.
➏ The compressed air that is heated in the heat exchanger, will be expanded in the turbine wheel, which is coupled with the generator by the same shaft. This transforms rotary movement into electric energy. As the two gas streams (the hot smoke gas from the combustion system and the compressed ambient air) are completely separated in the heat exchanger, there will be no smoke particles landing in the micro gas turbine process. In combination with the air bearing-technology, this enables a low maintenance performance and a long service life of the turbine.
➐ The turbine exhaust air with about 550 °C will be guided back to the combustion chamber. So that by the same heat power, comparing to a traditional heating boiler, it is possible to realize additional electricity generation, active fuel economization and a specially efficient combustion process. .
A high-temperature particle separator subsequent to the combustion chamber was so far a reserve almost just for large-scale power plants, now it is used as a part in ClinX to follows the Standards of BImSchG und TA-Luft. The high-temperature particle separator is matched to the combustion chamber; the vortex from the combustion chamber is used directly for particle separation. For particularly difficult materials, the system can also be built as a highly resistant ceramic version.

The high-temperature combustion chamber consists of temperature-resistant fireclay elements and is equipped with high-quality insulation. This enables temperatures of> 1000 ° C and guarantees efficient combustion with minimal heat radiation . The combustion residues are removed from the combustion chamber with the aid of a scraper chain conveyor and a de-ashing screw and stored in a fireproof ash container. With the integrated maintenance doors, the design of the combustion unit stands for easy maintenance access and a service-friendly construction . To optimize the degree of burnout, reduce fuel consumption and reduce emissions, the exhaust gases are partially returned to the combustion chamber.

The micro gas turbine is the heart of ClinX. The driving unit of the micro gas turbine is called a powerhead. The powerhead consists of the turbo group, which consists of the compressor wheel, turbine wheel and connecting shaft. The turbo group is air-born so that no lubricants or coolants are required. The powerhead including the turbo group is the central element of the micro gas turbine. Other components of the micro gas turbine are the generator, power electronics and control units.
