When it comes to ensuring operational excellence, no one understands the importance of reliability better than those responsible for achieving it every day. Meet Franz, a valuable part of SET team for over 15 years. His expertise contributes to what makes SETCON variable speed gearbox a benchmark in safety and innovation.
“Reliability isn’t just about preventing failures; it’s about building trust—trust within customers in technology that keeps operations running smoothly year after year,” – Franz, SET Head of Mechanical Design, explains.
He emphasizes that efficient and long term performance of such a high-power machine as SETCON gearbox is achieved through intensive team efforts in development. SET Sustainable Energy Technologies GmbH brings together specialists from multiple disciplines to deliver the products that achieve exceptional rates of efficiency.
Franz and his team are as well involved in SET’s supplier qualification and manufacturing coordination:
“We rely on standardized components sourced from trusted, well-known European partners. The production and optimization are constantly supervised by SET Quality Management. For me, this is important to see that all suppliers and our employees share our commitment to high quality principles,” – he adds.
For years, SET has been transforming energy markets with its dedication to engineering innovation and reliability. With SETCON variable speed gearbox, industries gain a solution backed by the track record of proven success.
We are excited to announce the successful Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of SETCON Variable Speed Gearbox at Sulzer‘s facility in Leeds (UK), in collaboration with PDO (Petroleum Development Oman)
As part of this comprehensive FAT, the SETCON gearbox underwent a full load test and advanced performance tests with the complete pump string, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for PDO’s critical operations in Oman.
This groundbreaking gearbox is designed to provide precise speed control, exceptional energy efficiency, integrated Soft-Start function and high reliability, making it a game-changer for industrial applications. The rigorous testing guarantees that the system is ready to deliver top-tier performance while significantly reducing energy consumption.
A big thank you to the teams at Sulzer, PDO, and all involved in making this milestone a success! Together, we are driving the future of sustainable industrial solutions.
SET celebrates the incredible contributions of thermal engineers worldwide. On the eve of the International Thermal Engineer Day, we are especially grateful to our team for their expertise and commitment to our shared goals.
Substantial development and innovation in the matter of thermal engineering are crucial in designing systems, such as SETCON variable speed gearbox, ensuring their reliability and safety. Creating systems that optimize energy consumption maximizes efficiency to reduce losses and environmental impact.
Join us in celebrating and share your opinion in comments.
Recently, SET showcased outstanding results during the internal Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of SETCON variable speed gearbox, in collaboration with our valued customer from Oman.
The innovative SETCON SC4A, engineered to deliver variable speed to a 4.1 MW crude oil booster pump, has been designed to excel in hazardous environments and withstand ambient temperatures of up to 55°C. Its exceptional energy efficiency performance promises significant power savings and reduced CO2 emissions compared to conventional Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), offering substantial benefits to our customer.
Congratulations to the entire SET Sustainable Energy Technologies GmbH team on their remarkable achievement in contributing to our latest Oil & Gas project. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the deployment of this state-of-the-art SETCON gearbox at the customer’s site.
SET team was thrilled to welcome our business partners to the SET head office in Klagenfurt. The guests had a unique opportunity to participate in the demonstrative test runs of the SETCON gearbox. The model has shown high performance and energy savings of app. 1 MW on average.
With a rated power of 2-15 MW, SETCON retrofit version is perfectly suited for on-site conditions of a drive train. Due to the matching gearbox footprint, it reduces implementation time and effort substantially. SETCON electro-mechanical design delivers significant energy savings compared to hydraulic couplings, especially in partial loads.
SET received the »TD | ICT | EBS« 2024 award from the Carinthian Economic Development Fund for Innovative Technological Services.
SETCON variable speed drive was especially distinguished for its energy-saving performance. SET technologies were remarked as the improved, highly competitive products with strong future viability. With SETCON adaptive speed control, customers can operate even more safely and efficiently.
SETCON variable speed gearbox with the power of 6 MW is getting ready for lubrication tests in frames of a German project. It will replace a geared fluid coupling and increase the energy efficiency by app. 1 MW.
SETCON minimizes power losses due to its electro-mechanical design and the ability to regenerate energy in partial load operation. The SETCON installation is proved to be short-term because of the footprint optimization to the exact sizing.
SETSustainable Energy Technologies GmbH celebrates the International Day of Education and appreciates the value of professional development. This year, SET participates in the joint qualification program by Carinthian Economic Development Fund (KWF Kärntner Wirtschaftsförderungsfonds). We aim to support employees in professional growth and expand international networks.
SET Sustainable Energy Technologiesteam wish our dear customers, partners, suppliers, and employees Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We were grateful to share 2023 with you and are looking forward to further cooperation in 2024.
