Encontech BV
Encontech BV is a new high-tech company, established in 2008, and based in Enschede, The Netherlands. The company is engaged in the research and development of the invented chemical reactors and prime movers. The highly innovative reactors, so called pulsed compression reactors, are based on the principle of compressive heating and subsequent expansive cooling and permit to carry out chemical reactions at temperatures of plasma chemistry and very high pressures in a very energy efficient way. In the next five years (2009-2014) the company aims at a breakthrough in hydrocarbon cracking and reforming processes - the most energy and capital intensive processes in chemical and fuel industries. The prime movers utilize the same as the reactor principle and are developed for combined heat and power production (CHP) systems in micro and small power range as a valuable alternative to Stirling engines, gas engine, fuel cells, and gas turbine.
