Jenbacher type 2

continuous development for 30 years

Introduced in 1976, the Jenbacher type 2 engine offers extremely high efficiency in the 250 to 350 kW power range. Its robust design and stationary engine concept result in excellent component durability and a service life of 60,000 operating hours before the first major overhaul. Optimized components and a proven control and monitoring concept give this engine outstanding reliability.

description

In addition to two existing Jenbacher systems, a J208 GS engine has been installed at this sewage treatment plant. Due to the high efficiency of this new engine, the annual electricity output could be increased by more than 20% while maintaining the fuel gas consumption at the same level. Our three cogeneration systems cover 85% of the electricity requirement and 100% of the heat requirement of the sewage treatment plant.

Renewable resources such as grass, corn, and chicken dung are fermented to produce biogas that fuels our gas engine. The generated electricity is entirely fed into the public grid; the heat produced is used for heating purposes at the Wolfring estate. During summer, the exhaust gas from the engine is used to dry grain and wood chips. The substrate from the biomass fermentation serves as fertilizer for the Wolfring farm. Due to the exceptional tech­nical and operational characteristics, in November 2005 the German Federal Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture declared the plant to be a "model solution for the ecological and economical generation of energy using agricultural biogas".

The gas engine runs on biogas produced from liquid manure and corn from the Lamping farm. The generated electricity is entirely fed into the public grid, and the produced heat is used for heating of the digester, housing and stables.
