EBZ Process Technology

Staxera and EBZ present joint development programme

As profound studies of the SOFC20 consortium (including Fraunhofer IKTS, Hexis, Plansee, FZ Jülich; financed by NOW, Germany) have shown, SOFC-CHP systems for large applications offer a promising market. Staxera and EBZ have decided to unite their expertise in stack design and system development to move on to larger system sizes.

 

At the SOFC XI Meeting in Vienna from the 5th to the 9th of October 2009 Staxera and EBZ will announce their 3 kW Demonstration System - a first step towards SOFC CHP systems for large applications. Conference visitors are welcome to view our booth (27 & 29) at the industry exhibition and to learn about the advantages of the new demonstration system. The exhibition is open from Monday to Wednesday.

 

Dr. Oliver Posdziech will hold a presentation describing the performance of staxera's integrated stack module (ISM) operated with steam reforming (Friday the 9th, 14:40, Hall B, Level 02 - Red).

 

 

 

Stanislaw Tillich, the Minister President of the Free State of Saxony, informed himself about the development of fuel cell systems at the EBZ GmbH Dresden.

Stanislaw Tillich visited the A.S.T Group at one of her production sites in Dresden. The CEOs Mathias Boeck and Dr. Beate Müller infomed him about the products of the three saxonian companies EBZ GmbH, A.S.T Angewandte System Technik GmbH Dresden and A.S.T Energie- & Umwelttechnik GmbH. The Minister President was impressed by the variety of innovative products that are developed and manufactured by the A.S.T Group.

 

Dr. Oliver Posdziech, Division Manager Fuel Cell Systems of the EBZ GmbH, illustrated Mr. Tillich the progress in SOFC System Development that has been made by the EBZ. The Minster president was very interested in the  expertise of the saxonian company in the field of high temperature component development and Test Rigs for SOFC. The research and development of SOFC systems and the optimization of components has been supported continously by Research Funds of the Saxonian State since the start-up of the EBZ GmbH.

EBZ ProControl successfully launched

At the international trade fair Hannover Messe from April the 20th to 24th 2009 the EBZ GmbH presented its new control Software for Test Rigs EBZ ProControl and showed is latest product developments. As our Project Manager Falk Schröter showed at the Technical Forum of the group exhibition “Hydrogen + Fuel Cells” , EBZ ProControl offers the user a graphical, easy to use tool to implement his own testing programmes. The presentation can be downloaded here: “Professional SOFC testing with EBZ Pro Control“.

 

Furthermore EBZ announced in Hannover the reorganisation of the company into two divisions: Fuel Cells and Process Technology. During the last years the number of customers, who are not based in the fuel cell sector but in different branches, is growing. To meet this new markets and to emphasise the expertise of the EBZ engineers not only in fuel cells but also in high temperature processes at small scales the division Process Technology was founded.
