energy consumption. Obenhauf executives selected the Capstone microturbines for their reliability in providing uninterrupted power and waste heat throughout the process because consistent drying temperatures lead to a strong, high-quality end product. During the drying process, the water-laden paper web (more than half its weight is water), passes over rotating cast iron cylinders heated by the microturbines’ thermal energy. Most of the remaining water is removed through evaporation. “The drying process consists of a big oven circulation system where we blow hot air on the cardboard to get the water out of the cardboard,” Neidhardt said. “The oven is directly heated with gas burners in the regulation system.” “We take the exhaust of the gas turbines direct to the drying systems and produce a part of the heating energy with the microturbines,” Neidhardt added. In a country that today boasts the European Union’s highest waste collection rates (80 percent for paper and cardboard), Obenhauf has found a way to honor Germany’s growing commitment to the environment with ultra-low emission Capstone microturbines. “ We searched a long time, but other systems had the heating energy on the wrong temperature value for us. Because we needed consistently high temperatures for our drying systems, we chose the Capstone microturbines.” — Tobias Neidhardt, CEO A. Obenhauf GmbH & Company “The clean exhaust of the microturbines and the temperature level of the drying unit is extraordinarily suitable for drying purposes,” said Sven Fransen, Capstone’s Director of Business Development - Marine and LNG. “The electricity came as a bonus, and they use that in their process in the factory.” “We can change between two production lines and heat exchangers so that we can be flexible where we use the gas turbines,” Neidhardt added. “We can heat the Four Capstone C65 microturbines installed in a CHP application supply thermal power and electricity to the cardboard manufacturing plant. whole factory with the gas turbines if the production line is not running.” “The installation of the Capstone microturbines shows the high efficiency of the microturbine technology for the drying process,” said Capstone’s Fransen. The C65 delivers reliable electrical/thermal generation from natural gas with ultra-low emissions. With only one moving part, maintenance and downtime are minimal. Visitors to the A. Obenhauf GmbH & Company factory are greeted by a sign that reads “more than cardboard.” With its ability to evolve with the times, innovate its business, and be a trailblazer for the country’s deep commitment to preserve the environment, the Obenhauf story truly stands out. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2014 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
