INTERVIEW WITH M+M TURBINEN-TECHNIK

M+M Turbinen-Technik GmbH is a steam turbines manufacturer with 25 years of experience. The company produces customized high performance and modern steam turbines tailored to the needs of each customer, making every product unique.

For the individual components, they work with the most qualified and experienced suppliers. In order to offer their customers the best overall solution while attaching great importance to quality, their Turbiens are 100% German origin.

Founded in 1995, the M+M Turbinen-Technik is still family owned and managed.

Easy Engineering: What are the main areas of activity of the company?

M+M Turbinen-Technik: The focus lies only on producing steam turbines and while this narrows the range of products, every turbine is one-of-a-kind. We believe that only those who take into account individual wishes of the customer and are not unsettled by technical requirements that do not fit into any scheme, are able to satisfy their customer, think outside the box and reach new heights.

Close cooperation and fast processes – this are what our company is about. With their motivation for a perfect turbine and their experience for decades, our reliable employees attend you during the whole development process – starting from the joint planning through the installation and commissioning until the after service of your steam turbine. With our trademarks efficiency and precision as well as our passion for state-of-the-art technology in steam turbine manufacturing we already delivered over 100 turbines all over the world.

(Through the specific use of our employees on-site as well as our international sales partners we are able to support and satisfy our customers beyond national borders. We want to deliver a perfect steam turbine und offer the best possible service. This is our claim. Always.)

E.E: What’s the news for 2020 about new products?

M+M Turbinen-Technik: All our products are new and unique, since we exclusively produce turbines tailored to the needs of our customers and partners.

E.E: What are the ranges of traded products?

M+M Turbinen-Technik: We produce turbines in a range of 200 kW up to 25MW with induction, extraction, turbines for district heating applications, Back-pressure turbines, consenting turbines and our newest addition the Mini-Turbine.

E.E: At what stage is the market where you are currently active?

M+M Turbinen-Technik: In times of growing interest in renewable energy sources and energy transformations, steam turbines present one sustainable and effective way to „recycle” by products like steam, to produce energy, which would have otherwise gone to waste.

E.E: What can you tell us about market trends?

M+M Turbinen-Technik: We participate from new regulations for sludge treatment which leads into the requirement of sludge incineration plants and that open up new paths to expand our range of potential customers.

Moreover, the incentives for the reduction of carbon emissions are increasing the demand for steam turbines used in biomass power plants.

Finally, we see future opportunities caused by a new EU restriction for the export of waste which will become effective in 2021 and will likely lead into a big number of waste to energy projects.

E.E: What are the most innovative products marketed?

M+M Turbinen-Technik: Our unique Mini-Turbine, which has also recently been featured in the VDMA, has been gaining popularity since the launch in 2017. This demonstrates growing interest in „smaller and more compact” steam turbines. The special feature of the mini-turbine, besides its compact design, is the electrical power of 200-500kW. Thanks to M+M’s Mini-Turbine, our customers can now use even small amounts of steam effectively.

With the Mini-Turbine, we have created an innovation in the field of small – scale steam turbines. Up to now, many potential applications for steam turbines in the low − power range have not been economically feasible, due to high capital cost and low power production. We have developed the solution.
