        Bioenergie Aspach: Upgrade next generation Jenbacher Type 3F

        Based on our proven Type 3 platform established in 1988 and continuously developed ever since, the next generation Jenbacher Type 3F engine offers proven robustness and reliability while delivering more efficiency than ever. Our customer Bioenergie Aspach has been relying on the robust and durable technology of the Jenbacher type 3 for years, which is why the customer decided for an upgrade to the new 3F generation.

        DOMINIKUS-RINGEISEN-WERK (DRW)

        "We have been relying on Jenbacher Type 3 engines since 2000. Based on the positive experience with the upgrade of the first engine to the new 3F generation model in 2020, it was an easy decision for us to implement the upgrade with the second and the third engine because they always operate reliably. Thanks to the improved fuel usage of the modern 3F generation engine, we have been able to do both — increase our profitability and reduce our environmental footprint."

        SOREMA

        "Our home textile company SOREMA, established in 1976, has reaffirmed our confidence in Jenbacher by replacing a J312 D05 container with this new generation J316 F02. We are continuing with the same type of maintenance contract coverage, but this time the main maintenance intervals were favorably extended to 40/80,000 operating hours. We improved our electrical efficiency from 40.8% to 41.6% with this new 3F version, and at the same time the NOX emissions were reduced by 50% to comply with the latest emissions requirements. The recoverable thermal power increased by 83 kW, improving our production of thermal energy, which is used in our dyeing process. The new version of the DIA.NE XT4 HMI remote control program is more developed, allowing better engine performance control."

        AIZ STRASS IM ZILLERTAL

        "After more than 80,00 operating hours with the existing Jenbacher Type 3 engine, we made the clear decision to again rely on Type 3 technology with the next generation 3F as the replacement. The exchange was simple and smooth. Right from the start, the J312F delivered both power and heat with the same reliability as before, but with a clearly noticeable increase in efficiency. As a result, more power and heat can be made available for internal processes from the volume of gas produced. The new module thus plays an important role in reducing operating costs and the environmental footprint of our wastewater treatment plant."
