The Saacke GmbH , proper spelling SAACKE , is a company for industrial and marine combustion technologies with approximately 1,000 employees worldwide, including 300 engineers. The company has production sites in Croatia and China and a global service and sales network. Head office, main production as well as research and development are located in Bremen .
Products
Saacke's product portfolio includes industrial burners and firing systems , corresponding control software, internet-based software solutions for maintenance, system engineering including flow and combustion simulations, and modernization of existing systems for improved energy efficiency. The products are used wherever there is a need for energy and heat - from refineries to the chemical, food or building materials industries and steel and metal production to waste incineration and wood processing. Firing systems for substitute fuels are a focus . Saacke constructs combustion systems that allow low-pollutant combustion of alternative fuels such as special liquid fuels (e.g. animal fat, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, fish oil, glycerine, deep-frying fat), biogenic substances (e.g. palm oil , biodiesel , biogas), dusts (e.g. E.g. wood dust, sugar beet pulp, coffee husks, fermentation substrate), special gases (e.g. landfill gas, sewage gas, refinery gas, coal mine gas, coke gas) or gases with a low calorific value (e.g. furnace gas, formalin gas, vent gas, corex gas, CO gas) and liquids (e.g. molasses and vinasse) and thus enable their energetic use.
For the shipping industry, the company offers complete combustion systems including boilers , which guarantee energy-efficient operation and compliance with IMO emission guidelines. Saacke systems in the maritime sector include, for example, heat generation and scrubber systems for retrofitting or new buildings. Products from the Bremen company are now installed on numerous ferry , container and cruise ships such as the Queen Mary 2 . Saacke is also equipping FPSO platforms and LNG tankers ( liquid gas tankers ) with combustion systems.
history
The company was founded in 1931 by the Berlin businessman Carl Saacke (* 1876) as Carl SAACKE-Ölfeuerungsgesellschaft mbH . Three years later, he and his son Herbert Saacke (* 1906 in Paris) brought the first Saacke burner they had developed on the market. The most important element of the burner was and is the rotary atomizer , which enables very fine and therefore easily controllable oil combustion. Among other things, the battleship Bismarck was equipped with burners from Saacke.
After the end of the Second World War , Saacke received its first serial order for rotary atomizers in 1949. The development of gas and combination burners followed in the 1950s. In 1952, Saacke was looking for close proximity to shipbuilding and moved from Berlin to today's headquarters in Bremen. In 1960 the company opened its first foreign branches and today has over 70 sales and service centers in more than 20 countries and on all five continents.
New developments
Today, in addition to special industrial burners, Saacke also manufactures complex combustion systems with appropriate software control. In the 1970s and 1980s, Saacke introduced burners with pressure and steam pressure atomizers. In the 1990s, the company developed an ultra-low NOx burner (nitrogen oxide-reduced combustion) and an animal fat burner. In the maritime sector, in 2002 the company developed the Gas Combustion Unit (GCU), a new safety device for liquid gas transport. Saacke's first exhaust gas purification system has been active on a ship since autumn 2013. The hybrid multistream scrubber system was installed on the tanker MT Levana built in 2009 for the Carl Büttner shipping company in Bremen.
