The next decisive steps have been taken: the cold commissioning of the gas turbine was completed on Friday. The turbine successfully completed its first revolutions (5,000 rpm) with the starter motor. The collaboration with partner Dresser Rand is also working perfectly.
At the same time, the gasifier was successfully fired up to dry the fireclay lining in the individual system components. The fireclay lining was slowly dried out over the past week. Pyrolysis gas is used to raise the combustion chamber temperature to 800 °C. Around 85 tons of fireclay were thus dried over the weekend.Today, the hot commissioning of the turbine will start and numerous test runs will follow to test the system.
In 2026, Gammel Engineering was once again ready to head to the Gillamoos! Together with our partners, we kicked off the “fifth season” in Abensberg on Friday, as is our tradition.
Michael and Gudrun Gammel rounded out the kickoff of the new yoga season with a light meal. With a particularly delicious meal featuring fish and cheese, we were able to wind down the evening in a cozy atmosphere.
Energy Transition. Here. Now. – This motto was clearly evident at yesterday’s state reception marking the 3rd Bavarian Energy Days at Schleißheim Palace. Michael Simon Gammel and Dr. Stefanie Reil were on hand representing Gammel Engineering. The evening demonstrated once again how many dedicated people in Bavaria are working every day to advance the energy transition—in municipalities, companies, initiatives, and projects.
