New field of activity for AERZEN’s Biogas Business Unit

AERZEN takes another step along the path of becoming an application-oriented compressor supplier for the compression of gases.

Wherever an application-oriented compressor solution is required, but no special customer-specific requirements are placed on the design of the compressor package, AERZEN now has the appropriate machine: based on a modular system, AERZEN now offers these customers standardised gas compressors of the series VMY and VMX. Product liability issues have become increasingly significant in recent years, so, in line with all other AERZEN products, the modular concept ensures strict compliance with the applicable regulations. As these compressors are defined as compressors for handling process gases, EN 1012-3 (safety requirements for process gas compressors) is also applicable here. According to these requirements, for example, the design of the compressor housing in a ductile material is mandatory – see EN-GJS-400 LT (GGG40.3).
With the extension of AERZEN’s product range through these new standard gas compressors, the field of activity of AERZEN’s biogas business unit expands accordingly. This business unit, which was established five years ago specifically to serve the biogas market and its customers, is responsible, in co-operation with the global AERZEN sales organisation, for sales of this product line. In addition to Axel Cichon, head of the biogas business unit, and sales and project engineers Jens Drifte and Tim Haasler, Olaf Malachewitz in sales and Jannik Bartling in order processing are new members of the team. The biogas business unit team is looking forward to being a competent partner for AERZEN’s customers.
