Innovations in Power Engineering

Today one of the most burning problems in the world is the abuse of environment and air pollution as a result of chemical, thermal, mechanical activities of mankind and industry. In the nearest future, demand for energy resources growth, will aggravate a human influence on the atmosphere. Mankind will be faced with urgent requirement of environmental protection, as well as search for the new alternative energy-saving technologies.

Energy units

These stations produce the electric energy on basis of the energy units. An energy unit is designed to generate heat and electricity from the fuel with high content of hydrogen. One of the advantages of this ambitious unique method is that there is no combustion process in the energy unit and owing to flameless electrochemical reaction our consumer receives “pure” heat and electricity.

These advanced power plants can use a number of different fuels: methanol, propane, synthesis gas, associated gas, natural gas, pure hydrogen.

Besides energy-saving optimization of the existing power stations this innovation includes engineering of new technologies leading to productivity improvement, profitability rise, increase of the profit rate of an enterprise.

Thereby ENCE GmbH settles two issues by one offer: environmental protection and application of advanced energy-saving technologies of the XXI century.

Advantages of this unique method are:

Innovative energy generation, free from emissions of greenhouse gas, detrimental impurities, burning residues
Ability to work under any weather conditions, no special foundation is required
