We minimize your innovation risk by running pilot plant studies at our premises. We help you select the best heat transfer medium for your given process conditions. In pilot reactors, chemical syntheses are trialed on a small scale (gram to kilogram volumes) in order to manufacture the desired quantity of product using the least amount of raw materials. We scale up from one-tube pilot reactors or demonstration plants to world-scale plants running for you. We also simulate critical operating conditions and perform long-term trials, for example to determine the continuity of certain processes or the ageing of catalysts.

This reliable technology can be integrated into various applications to ensure a secure power supply. It basically is thermal energy storage which is used to deliver reliable power in line with your operational demands. Storage is provided in special purpose-built vessels with naturally occurring salts. The energy is released when needed for powering a steam turbine which in turn drives a compressor. This can compensate for volatility, making electricity from renewables a completely reliable source of energy. Using MOSAS means you can switch to renewable power supplies. There is more to MOSAS than that and we are constantly working to increase its innovative and green potential. 

Electricity can be much more than simply a final energy product. It can be a source of sustainable and resource-conserving power for the process industry, coupled by PtX. Converting renewable electricity into synthetic gas or hydrogen makes its energy available when and wherever it is required while keeping the CO₂ count down. MAN Energy Solutions power-to-X (MAN PtX) is a sustainable solution for synthetic fuel production and long-term energy storage. 

The RFCC/FCC processes at the heart of the refinery business must run as smoothly as possible to guarantee profitability. As specialist supplier, we provide our customers with components and complete systems for petrochemical processes. We offer engineering studies, workshop fabrication, transportation, on-site assembly, maintenance, service and everything in between.

Using fossil fuels, the steel industry is a CO2-heavy industry. However, new technology from MAN Energy Solutions allows our customer to produce bioethanol from the waste gases produced by its steelworks in Belgium. This process will run from 2020 with a solution that consists of a three-stage geared compressor, including a dry separator (scrubber), cooler, piping system and instrumentation in a complete turnkey installation. In recognition of this effort to decarbonize, the EU has called this a major step towards a “steelworks for the future with zero emissions”.

Another mechanism to prevent carbon emissions, carbon capture and waste heat recovery can help you to significantly decrease your greenhouse gas footprint. We supply the technology for the compression of CO₂/super-critical CO₂, for the liquefaction of CO₂ and for heat recovery and heat integration for your process plant.
