Technology

Industrial Pioneer and Leading Technology Partner. From an original focus on waste heat boilers, the core principle “steam from waste heat” has been refined over a period of more than 170 years, then customised and perfected for a variety of branches. The products that Oschatz provides range from ammonia incineration reactors for nitric acid production through to coolers for steelworks and production plants for non-ferrous metallurgical processes. Since the 1980s, this technology has also been successfully implemented in power plants for incinerating waste, biomass, and residues from chemical and production plants. As part of the Christof Industries group of companies, Oschatz is now one of the world’s leading technology companies in these fields. We employ our own patented technologies in line with the specific requirements of each plant project, which guarantees our customers superior tailor-made solutions.

Engineering

Technical Perfection in Every Detail. Every facility is unique. Be they waste gas cooling facilities in metallurgy, components for the chemical industry or turn-key power plants for deriving thermal energy from biomass or residues: every facility is planned individually and tailored to meet our customers’ exact requirements. Oschatz demonstrates the value of know-how derived from decades of experience and a passion for innovation: from the project planning stage through to the most demanding basic and detail engineering – our engineers develop innovative, bespoke solutions that draw on tried-and-tested Oschatz technologies (“from chute to stack”).

As a family-owned and led company, we are firm believers in the economic and environmental value of reusing waste and recovering waste energy – values that went unrecognised for a long time. The integration of the Oschatz units into Christof Industries has created significant advantages for operators of both traditional production facilities and industrial plants – especially waste-to-energy and waste-to-value plants – thanks to the union of pioneering technologies, which have been tried and tested over the past 170 years, with our extensive experience in the construction of industrial plants and in the provision of industrial services.

Our 360° portfolio makes Zero Waste Concepts for Cities a reality.

Johann Christof, CEO
We have a significant technological edge over the competition in the development of waste heat recovery systems. We are also a pioneer in methods for making use of waste products and in the circular economy. The combination of technical perfection and a passion for innovation are the hallmarks of everything we do. In keeping with our motto:

Excellence through Tradition and Innovation.

Monique van den Boogaard, Managing Director
What distinguishes us from other providers is our holistic approach to the requirements of every project. Because you can only take that kind of approach if you can truly provide everything – from boiler system design through to after-sales services – in-house. This is how we achieve not just technological and economic efficiency, but completely new ways of seeing things.

Because we always keep sight of the big picture for every process and every project – which means we develop solutions that look to the future.

Michael Marcius, Sales Director Power Plants
The difference between a technician and a true expert is experience. After 170 years of company history and having realised more than 200 cooling systems for the iron and steel industry, we can safely say that we are experts in this field. Our expertise provides the foundations for the plants that we erect all over the globe

– with the greatest possible levels of availability, operational safety, and efficiency.

Josip Kasalo, Head of Sales – Iron and Steel Metallurgy
Having successfully implemented more than 150 projects all over the globe, Oschatz leads the market for process gas coolers for nitric acid production. There are two significant factors to our success: technical perfection and a very human quality – the ability to listen. Intensive two-way communication with our customers has made us what we are today.

Because exceptional results can only be achieved through cooperation.

Lynn Tenbuß-Küppers, Senior Sales Engineer – Chemical Industry
The demands our clients place on us are always growing. That is a good thing. Because there are three important qualities that define Oschatz today: perfection derived from decades of experience, a creative approach to technology, and the desire to best serve of customers’ interests by thinking to the future. The result: individual, tailor-made solutions instead of standard technologies. The benefit for our customers:

Greater levels of efficiency, profitability and longevity for their plants and components.

Heinz Wienen, Sales Director
Oschatz is one of the leading producers of boiler systems for converting industrial waste heat. We are a world leader in certain fields – such as bath/lance smelting processes. What has put us where we are today? 170 years of experience, the highest standards of quality, and intensive cooperation with our customers. This is the basis for the continual improvement of our technologies. Our goal:

bespoke, optimised plants that are characterised by maximum levels of availability, reliability and profitability.
