Your passionate, technology-driven plant engineering partner
Pörner Technologies
For over 50 years, our mission has been to realize process plants with precision. The basis for this is our strong process engineering team with over 50 dedicated process engineers.
For the benefit of our customers:
- We support professionally right from concept development, technology procurement, and technology selection
- We provide our own special technologies and new processes
- We develop new innovative technologies together with partners
- We implement special technologies/new developments in large-scale plants
- We construct plants based on
- provided basic engineering
processes from licensors (process design package)
Pilot Plants
Our Own Research & Development
The Pörner Group operates five in-house pilot plants to verify our processes and as a basis for designing specific industrial plants.
For over 35 years, we have been continuously developing the Pörner Biturox® technology to produce high-quality bitumen. Today, with over 60 licenses granted, we are the global market leader in bitumen oxidation.
Sustainability
Circular Economy
The future needs solutions that protect our resources, preserve the environment and pave the way for a future based on renewable energy. That is where we come in.
The energy transition urgently needed due to climate change requires alternative processes and technical solutions. Process plant engineering plays a key role in this effort, as it is responsible for transforming new ideas and concepts into functional and economically viable industrial plants.
Pörner, a long-time pioneer in innovations and technologies, actively supports you in tackling the challenges of decarbonization, focusing on:
- Use of alternative energy carriers (PtX, BtX, bio-energy)
- Resource efficiency and energy-optimized production (Revamped by Pörner)
- Production of valuable, recyclable products (e.g. Bio-Silicates)
Our portfolio of experience also includes the overall planning and construction of a multi-fuel conversion plant for RWE, designed to recover phosphorus and synthesis gas from sewage sludge.
Phosphorus recycling
Sewage sludge and sewage sludge ash
Phosphorus recovery is a key component of a sustainable circular economy and is becoming increasingly important due to legal requirements in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. As an experienced plant engineering company implementing innovative third-party technologies for phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge and sewage sludge ash, we deliver industrial solutions across the entire technology and plant lifecycle. Depending on the operating conditions, target product, and regulatory requirements, we design and build plants for all relevant phosphorus recovery methods, including:
- Ash-based wet chemical processes with acid digestion and subsequent processing into marketable phosphate products
- Thermochemical processes for heavy metal removal and the production of low-pollutant phosphate carriers
- Precipitation and crystallization processes (e.g., struvite) for phosphorus recovery directly from wastewater or digested sludge
- Processing and direct use of phosphorus-containing ashes as a secondary raw material for the fertilizer industry
The energy transition urgently needed due to climate change requires alternative processes and technical solutions. Process plant engineering plays a key role in this effort, as it is responsible for transforming new ideas and concepts into functional and economically viable industrial plants.
