01 · Who we are

German Engineering for energy technology and turbomachinery

ClinX Energy Systems is an engineering company from Cottbus. We develop micro gas turbines, with a combustor or externally fired, and their components: compressors and turbines, foil air bearings, high-speed generators, combustors and heat exchangers. We also cover test benches and series production planning.

Our team comes from research and development in flight propulsion, turbomachinery and energy technology, with a clear focus on development. We work for manufacturers, plant builders and research institutions that need high-speed components or energy technology.

05 · Group of companies

Our turbine in operation

ClinX Energy Systems and pyropower GmbH belong to the same group of companies and are both based in Cottbus. pyropower builds plants with the externally fired micro gas turbine we have been developing since 2012: Pyro-ClinX for wood residues and ClinX Heat for industrial waste heat.

Pyrolysis with combined heat and power

Pyro-ClinX

Wood residues are turned into electricity, heat, biochar and CO₂ certificates. The pyrolysis gas oxidises flamelessly, and the turbine only sees hot, clean air.

  • 130 kW net electricity
  • up to 450 kW heat
  • around 75 kg of biochar per hour

Electricity from waste heat

ClinX Heat

Industrial waste heat at 900 to 1,000 °C is turned into electricity and heat in a container, without additional fuel and without intervening in the main process.

  • 150 kW gross electricity per module
  • 450 kW heat
  • in a 40-foot container
