Globally successful together AERZEN Process Gas Division (PGD) Through effective teamwork across the locations, competence centres of the AERZEN Process Gas Division (PGD) undertake successful projects worldwide. The PGD competence centre in Hungary is seeing growing demand for AERZEN products in Western Europe. This is a chlorine liquefaction plant for a system manufacturer in Germany.Besides the process gas team of 45 at the parent company, our subsidiaries in Hungary and the U.S.A. also have essential know-how and separate capacity for the process gas business. PGD Hungary, in Esztergom, primarily distinguishes itself through its wide range of manufacturing capabilities. Besides Sales and Engineering, all the piping and welding work according to ASME and PED, switch cabinet construction, packaging, leakage tests with acceptance tests witnessed by the customer at site, are also carried out. Short distances and a young, dynamic team make PGD Hungary flexible and efficient. As a result of intensive co-operation with the quality control division in Aerzen, the quality standards in production have improved considerably of late. PGD Hungary recently designed and manufactured a chlorine liquefaction plant for a system manufacturer in Germany. Chlorine is used for the disinfection of water and for manufacturing many substances such as PVC, pharmaceuticals, as well as intermediate products. Two VMY 156 M-NR packaged units operate an ammonia refrigeration circuit for the cooling of ethylene glycol. This serves to dissipate heat and thus for liquefaction of 95 per cent of the chlorine vapour, which is produced electrolytically. The system has been installed in a chemical factory in Switzerland. In the U.S.A., six additional process gas specialists work in sales, engineering and project management of process gas projects. As in Hungary, as a rule only the blower or compressor stage is supplied from Aerzen. It is designed through co-ordination with both groups. Packaging is made by local plant manufacturers, meeting the high AERZEN quality standards. Recently, PGD U.S.A. handled the largest project in AERZEN company history for a new chemical factory in Louisiana: a fuel gas mixture is drawn off the process by means of GM 19.19 HV vacuum blowers and compressed and cooled by a VRa 136 S compressor to six bar in the final stage. The complex, redundant four-stage system comprises four blower and two VR compressor stages, intermediate cooling, condensation, intermediate pressure management, control system, as well as very extensive documentation. When the plant is completed, about 40 AERZEN packaged units will be running there: these include special instrument air packaged units, VM compressors for pneumatic conveyance, Delta Blowers for the wastewater treatment plant and HV blowers for various processes.
CE-marking for AERZEN Vacuum Blowers At the beginning of this year, following a new evaluation, AERZEN vacuum blowers of type HV and CM are complete machines, having attained the valued CE marking. This provides considerable simplifications for customers. AERZEN has re-evaluated with success the distinction between a complete and an incomplete machine through a new legal opinion for the purposes of the Machine Directive.
A new look for Aerzen Turbo The successful Aerzen Turbo-Series TB has been updated: The innovative system was specially developed for biological wastewater treatment plants with small and average volume flow requirements. Now, the series TB, which, at present, is available in eleven sizes, has been the subject of numerous constructive adjustments, through which energy consumption has been reduced by up to six percent. The small dimensions of the TB series results in extremely high power density. Moreover, the air conveyance has been optimised. Due to the separation of electrical and mechanical technology, heat losses are not transmitted to process air and the efficiency and reliability of the electrical technology is increased.
News from the AERZEN site After a one year construction period, the new production hall in the centre of the AERZEN premises is now ready to move into. The processing machines, which had been enclosed, or put in temporary storage during the construction period, have restarted their production operations. In another section, a portal milling machine has been replaced by a new Uniport 7000. This ultramodern machining centre has a mobile portal with a fixed table, which allows flexible and precise multi-sided machining of large components, such as pistons and housing parts. Thanks to the changeover to a Siemens Sinumerik 840D control system, the Uniport 7000 can be programmed with 3D data.
Service location South re-staffed Due to the continuously increasing number of machines to be serviced and customers to be supported in this region, AERZEN decided to re-staff the Service location Blaubeuren/South: since mid 2015, service technician Izudin Licina has been responsible for postal code area 7, and Markus Mühlbauer for postal code area 8 and parts of area 9.
New representation in Vietnam AERZEN wanted to strengthen its presence in Asia and thus established a new representation in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in the middle of last year. Since 6th July 2015, Nha Ca Nguyen has been responsible for all local business developments. In future, Nha Ca Nguyen will work closely with sales engineer Edmund Tan of Aerzen Asia Singapore.
New Sales Manager for Iran Jalil Pazoki is the new AERZEN Sales Manager for the Sales region of Iran. Since 1st October 2015 he has represented AERZEN from his office in Tehran. Pazoki has both German and Iranian nationalities, studied electrical engineering, and in his previous roles he worked for system manufacturers and other engineering companies, and as a project and sales engineer in Iran, where he was able to make contact with numerous AERZEN customers.
AEO-F Certificate extended After a successful monitoring on 14th December 2015, the main customs office Hanover has renewed the AEO-F certificate for AERZEN. As Authorized Economic Operators AERZEN‘s customs procedures and export of goods operations are streamlined, so that a fast and secure supply chain can be guaranteed for the customer.
