Energy

We support you in the energy transition

The development of energy sources and production of energy itself can only be realised safely and efficiently with sophisticated filtration and separation solutions. Particularly high pressures, extreme temperatures and the aggressive chemicals and physical stresses that often occur are characteristic of these areas of application.

In oil and gas extraction, PACO filter wire cloths ensure greater efficiency, for example through so-called "sand control screens", which are plasma-cut and, if required, ultrasonically cleaned and annealed in a vacuum furnace. High-precision PACO screen printing wire cloths play a key role as stencil carriers in solar cell technology and in photovoltaic systems. And with specially developed filter cartridges for hot gas filtration, wood gas can be obtained by burning wood chips and pellets, which in turn is used as fuel for combustion engines that generate electricity via turbines.

For the production and storage of hydrogen, metal wire mesh has proven to be a fundamental component in electrolysis systems, where it is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The metal wire cloth, sometimes in the form of a laminate, serves as an electrode material as well as a gas diffusion layer (GDL) or porous transport layer (PTL) where its high conductivity helps to carry out the electrolysis process efficiently. From a technical point of view, the fuel cell is very similar to electrolyser technology, which is why our wire cloth is also used here. Do you want to increase the efficiency of your electrolyser or fuel cell? Then get in touch with us.
