The next decisive steps have been taken: the cold commissioning of the gas turbine was completed on Friday. The turbine successfully completed its first revolutions (5,000 rpm) with the starter motor. The collaboration with partner Dresser Rand is also working perfectly.
At the same time, the gasifier was successfully fired up to dry the fireclay lining in the individual system components. The fireclay lining was slowly dried out over the past week. Pyrolysis gas is used to raise the combustion chamber temperature to 800 °C. Around 85 tons of fireclay were thus dried over the weekend.Today, the hot commissioning of the turbine will start and numerous test runs will follow to test the system.

Yoga has been an integral part of our company routine for exactly one year now! Every Tuesday after work, around 8 to 12 employees meet for a yoga session with Susanne Ohneis. What originally began as a test phase has now become a fixed part of our health program - and many colleagues can no longer imagine their weekly schedule without it.
