CMI Energy is specialised in the design, supply, assembly and commissioning of steam generators for electric power generation and cogeneration units.
CMI Energy positions itself in the most efficient technologies on the market such as high efficiency combined cycles, biomass and thermo-solar energy. It vast contributes to substantially improving the performance of electric power plants.
CMI Energy is a technological leader in the market of Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG) installed behind combustion turbines in combined cycle electric power stations. CMI HRSGs can be used with turbines of all capacities (from 30 MW to 270 MW+) and all makes. They are of vertical or horizontal configuration, with natural, forced or assisted circulation. CMI Energy has developed two particular lines of expertise: boilers operating in cycling mode (starting and stopping of plants according to electricity demand), and boilers installed behind turbines fired with heavy fuels (crude oil or heavy fuel oil). Moreover, they can be used in hybrid electric power stations, where a solar cycle is used along with a conventional combined cycle. CMI boilers fully meet the current market requirements in terms of performance, power, efficiency and flexibility. With the benefit of its long standing experience in steam generators, CMI Energy also provides equipment for high capacity thermo-solar electric power stations. It has designed steam generators adapted to two major solar technologies: the ‘solar tower’ technique (which operates by reheating a fluid contained in a boiler installed on top of a tower on which sunrays are concentrated), and the ‘parabolic trough’ technique (which operates by reheating a fluid contained in a tube circulating in a network of parabolic mirrors). Applications for patents have been filed for these developments since 2009.
CMI Energy provides support and guidance for its customers throughout the world. Its teams are based in Liège (Belgium) and Erie (Pennsylvania, United States). They can call upon a worldwide marketing network and cooperate with three licensees who cover
essentially China, South Korea and India.
