R Schmitt Enertec Gas Engines
High-efficiency gas engines and CHP cogeneration systems tailored for pyrolysis syngas
Official Distribution & Technology
Official Distribution & Integration
Circular Energy is an official distributor and technological integration partner of the renowned German manufacturer R Schmitt Enertec GmbH. We provide complete turnkey delivery, syngas fuel calibration, PLC synchronisation, and factory-certified long-term maintenance for the entire ENERGIN® engine series.
Manufactured in Mendig, Germany, ENERGIN® gas engines are engineered for demanding 24/7 industrial duty cycles, achieving electrical efficiencies up to 42.1% and combined heat and power (CHP) efficiencies exceeding 88%.
Pyrolysis Syngas & Hydrogen Flexibility
Standard gas engines often struggle with fluctuating calorific values and elevated hydrogen content found in synthetic gases. ENERGIN® engines are purpose-built with advanced lean-burn combustion and specialized engine control units (ECU) capable of reliably processing pyrolysis syngas, wood gas, landfill gas, and hydrogen-rich blends.
This fuel flexibility ensures stable operation and maximum power output even during dynamic variations in feedstock composition (such as mixed plastics or tires).
Synergy with Pyrolysis Systems
Closed-Loop Facility Self-Sufficiency
In thermochemical depolymerization units (such as our continuous GARP systems), high-energy synthesis gas is produced as a primary byproduct alongside pyrolysis oil and carbon black. Integrating an ENERGIN® CHP unit converts this syngas directly into electricity and high-temperature thermal energy.
The generated electricity directly powers the electric heating of the pyrolysis retort, making the entire plant fully self-sufficient with zero external energy reliance, while surplus power is exported to the grid.
