DBI-Virtuhcon is a Germany based operator of gasification pilot plants. It offers experimental and computational services with a focus on high temperature/ high pressure conversion processes of coal (all ranks), biomass, petcoke, waste, etc. Its core competence is the production of syngas, synthetic fuels, SNG and base chemicals by means of gasification and pyrolysis. DBI-Virtuhcon offers the whole range from lab scale over bench scale to pilot and demo scale experiments, as well as process chain simulation and CFD simulation. Ultimately, it offers design and basic engineering for several types of gasifiers, POX units, pyrolysis reactors and equipment such as burners.
“By bundling our competences we guarantee the high quality of our services” explains managing director Prof. Meyer.
The close collaboration with the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, in particular with the Institute of Energy Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering, enables the customer-specific performance of manifold experimental and analytical tasks to support and validate the various services.
