Energy with a Future - A Future with Energy
This is how it works: Frank Bornemann presents a fuel cell controlled by Buschjost valves.
The name Buschjost is synonymous with looking to the future - and has been for almost 75 years. "Buschjost's
involvement with the issue of renewable energies is helping set a trend whose full potential will, however, only be
fully exploited in the years to come"“, analyses Frank Bornemann, Buschjost manager responsible for this sector.
The high reputation already enjoyed by the company in this area was evident yet again at the Hanover Trade Fair,
where Buschjost was represented not only on the stand of the parent Norgren Group, but also on the North
Rhine-Westphalia Group Stand Energy 2007 of the Fuel Cell Technology Network, and presented its vision of the future
as well as existing solutions for alternative fuels, biogas and fuel cells.
"The level of interest in fuel cell technology for power supplies for buildings in particular was enormous", says
Frank Bornemann as he recollects the numerous conversations with visitors to the fair. Mike Weide, Head of Key Market
Management at Buschjost, assumes that technology currently at the testing stage will be ready for the market by 2012,
and emphasises the central role played by valve technology in fuel cells: "In these devices valves are used to drain
condensate and control reformed fuel, gas, air and water in the heating circuits. To maximise control accuracy,
proportional stainless steel and plastic valves are fitted." Even though Buschjost valves would already achieve
first-class results, according to Frank Bornemann "we will of course also continuously develop our valve solutions
to meet the latest requirements as fuel cell technology is gradually perfected".
