Technology of the 50 kWel and 135 kWel Units.

WegscheidEntrenco uses the proven principle of combined heat and power (CHP), which produces electricity and heat simultaneously at high efficiency. Our patented technology achieves high efficiency through uniform, finely controlled gasification and harmonious coordination of the entire process chain. By using wood as biomass, the raw material cycle is CO₂-neutral.

High reliability and economic efficiency

The engine, generator and other key components are carefully selected series products from renowned manufacturers, and thus guarantee high reliability and economy. Finally, by developing and manufacturing our products in Germany, we meet the expectations associated with the “Engineered in Germany” standard.

Engineered in Germany

In over 15 years we have developed our products and components to perfection. Developed and tested in-house, we guarantee the longevity of our components. All key components — including engine and generator — are carefully selected and, where necessary, customized to ensure maximum reliability. Moreover, we fulfill the Made in Germany claim by developing and manufacturing our products in Germany.

A sophisticated filter system

Our advanced hardware guarantees the longest operating time on the market. This is due to the filtration of the syngas that is fed to the engine. Very low levels of micro-particles and wear guarantee the longevity and constant operation of our 12-liter engine. This ensures high plant availability and reduces the need for on-site personnel.

Double tube The syngas from the gasification process is fed to our hot gas filter. Hot gas filter The patented design uses metallic filter cartridges with a long service life. Thanks to the high degree of separation, clean wood gas is supplied to the engine. Flare line Automatic safety feature and is used to compensate the gas flow of the plant. Gas cooler Hot gas must be cooled before it enters the engine. Since it is connected to the water circuit, this is the first source of heat. Safety filter The safety filter is unique in the industry. Other remaining microparticles arefiltered out of the gas. Ash container and ash box Due to the efficient gasification process, only little ash is produced and the ash is free of toxic substances. No additional costs for waste disposal.

Expansion of the fuel spectrum

Another focus area in our development work is the expansion of the fuel spectrum from wood pellets and wood chips to other biomasses. We have investigated the combustion behavior of more than 400 different materials and mixture ratios, from hazelnut shells to various types of straw and food waste to plastic. For fuels that cannot be processed on our gasification unit, we have developed a special technology that is currently being tested.
