Continued from the Title Page Environmentally Friendly and Highly Efficient – Archimedean screw turbines for small volumes of water<br />

are on the rise<br />

With new innovations, REHART has made possible<br />

the profitability of small heads between<br />

one and eight meters with volumes of water<br />

between 500 liters/sec up to 10,000 liters/sec.<br />

REHART has developed systems for these sources<br />

of “small hydropower stations” which provide<br />

an outstanding alternative to other methods.<br />

The peerless competence of REHART is no coincidence:<br />

years of experience in the construction<br />

of Archimedean screw pumps for sewage treatment<br />

plants has allowed the company to develop<br />

the technological advancements which first<br />

make the innovations for hydropower possible.<br />

It was only a small, albeit decisive, step for the<br />

company from the “Archimedean screw pump”<br />

to an Archimedean screw turbine.<br />

At the forefront with production methods: As<br />

compact systems, the Archimedean screw turbines<br />

are assembled in the factory. This reduces<br />

the expenses during installation onsite to a minimum.<br />

This makes the investment a cost-effective<br />

alternative for many areas of application.<br />

The “Renewable Energy Law” of the European<br />

Union entered into force in 20<strong>09</strong>.<br />

New Certifications of the rEHArT <strong>GmbH</strong><br />

Quality Management and Credit Rating<br />

REHART was certified according to the guidelines<br />

of ISO 9001-2008 in 20<strong>09</strong>. This fulfills the<br />

requirements for meeting the needs of customers<br />

for large orders as well as ready-to-use<br />

systems. The monitoring audit in <strong>2010</strong> confirmed<br />

the path taken to improve the processes as well<br />

as the quality progress achieved.<br />

The former largest compact system worldwide. The screw has a diameter of 3.6 meters and a blade length of 8.5 meters.<br />

120 KW is generated with 6,000 liters of water per second. Standing in front of it are chief executive Klaus Schülein, sales<br />

engineer Matthias Reinhardt and technical director Gerhard Wolff (from left to right).<br />

It regulates the compensation for green electricity.<br />

The demand for Archimedean screw turbines has<br />

increased hugely at home and abroad since the<br />

compensation for electricity fed into the grid for<br />

Archimedean screw turbines has been adjusted<br />

to that of other renewable energies such as biogas,<br />

wind power and solar energy.<br />

The credit agency Creditreform<br />

has assessed the<br />

REHART <strong>GmbH</strong> as very positive,<br />

making REHART an especially<br />

reliable partner for<br />

long-term business relations.<br />

REHART has invested with<br />

goals in mind and established<br />

its own development<br />

and competence team. Two<br />

patents and a utility model<br />

were protected within only<br />

half a year.<br />

An innovation is the European<br />

patent registration for<br />

the so-called “floating screw<br />

pump”, meaning that the<br />

Archimedean screw turbine<br />

adjusts itself to the current water level, making<br />

our systems even more efficient for many sites.<br />

An additional patent is currently being registered:<br />

this development will allow REHART to reduce the<br />

sound emissions to 5 decibels below standard<br />

plants. This means that REHART will be able to<br />

supply Germany’s quietest Archimedean screw<br />

turbines!<br />

The results of our previous work are more than 35<br />

installed systems and project studies with more<br />

than 800 application options, which clearly verify<br />

the high profitability of the REHART Archimedean<br />

screw turbines. – Innovation for the future … and<br />

for you!<br />
