Edition 03/16

After the successful relaunch of the corporate website www.aerzen.com, the rollout of the 36 international websites of AERZEN’s subsidiaries will be next. This will be realised in three stages: The first stage includes the country websites with German or English as the main language. The second stage includes the websites which use Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese or French, and the third stage will cover the remaining websites. Stages 1 and 2 will be realised by the end of 2016, stage 3 will start next year.

In May 2016, AERZEN received one of the biggest domestic orders in the company’s history. For its new research building on the Campus Maschinenbau (mechanical engineering), Garbsen (CMG), Leibniz University Hanover ordered a “compres- sor station for the dynamic drive of turbo machines and power plant components.” and a compressed-air station from AERZEN Systems, for a total of about 13.2 million euro. The unit consists of two GM 20.20 and two VRa 736S, all the pipings and coolers, and the measuring and regulating technology. In future, thanks to the new research opportunities afforded by the unit, the University of Hanover will count among the world’s leading institutions in the field of energy efficiency research.

AERZEN has developed a new planning folder for its waste water range. This is available in both German and English versions and in digital as well as in print form. The IFAT fair has shown that there is an increasing level of interest in heat recovery systems. Therefore, AERZEN now offers corresponding leaflets. A unique selling point of AERZEN products is that they are free of absorption material. Accordingly, this topic is also included in the leaflet portfolio. The new brochures “ISO-Standards” and “Safety Standards” provide information on, amongst other things, discharge silencers free of absorption material and oil according to class 0.

In mid-2016, AERZEN blower and compressor packages were certified for marine applications by the DNV GL, one of the world’s leading classification societies for the marine industry. The international certification body and classification society DNV GL sets standards for ships and mobile offshore units - the so-called class rules. These rules include standards for safety, reliability and environmental requirements which ships and mobile offshore units have to comply with in international waters. Therefore, our series Delta Blower, Delta Screw and Delta Hybrid were certified. In future, they will be available on ships for all process air applications. Individual acceptance tests will no longer be necessary, so customers will save significantly in both cost and time. Furthermore, the DNV and LR series certificates will emphasise the high standards of quality and safety of AERZEN compressors. Further certificates will be provided upon customer’s request.

The Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (Donors’ Association for German Science) has honoured AERZEN’s research activities with the seal of approval “Innovativ durch Forschung” (innovative by research). The Donors’ Association is the only joint initiative for companies and foundations to advise, interconnect, and promote holistically in the fields of education, science and innovation in Germany. 

In July 2016, Aerzen Asia participated in the Singapore International Water Week, the country’s biggest event in the wastewater industry, at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. The highlight of our booth, with a size of more than 50 square metres, was our new AERsmart control combination, which attracted numerous visitors from Germany and abroad, e.g. system manufacturers, system providers, consultants from authorities, consulting companies and industrial companies. Furthermore, Aerzen Asia had a meeting with the Public Utilities Board (PUB), the executive board of the Ministry for the Environment and Water Resources, at which they demonstrated the high savings potential of AERsmart in conjunction with Performance³. The next SIWW fair will be held from 8th until 12th July 2018.
