Making the best
of the
traditional and
the modern.
Spilling Energy Systems
unites the experience of
over a hundred years’
tradition of building steam
power plants with forwardlooking innovation. Spilling is
not resting on its laurels
however; continuous new and
further development
characterizes the company’s
style as does a service policy
which is oriented towards the
increasing demands of the
customer.
This brochure will provide you with
a succinct overview of what Spilling
can offer you in terms of steam
power – with innovative engines and
turbines for the efficient production
of mechanical and electrical energy.

Letting you get the
best results.
In times of increasing energy costs
and scarcer resources, it is more
important than ever to use these in
the best way possible and to minimize
CO2 emissions. Making steam: Spilling
steam engines and steam turbines offer
you optimum solutions for decentralized
energy production, particularly in the
following fields of application
Biomass
from trimmings and waste such as that
from timber, rice husks, coffee husks and
plants grown for fuel.
Waste heat
from processes with a significant amount of
waste heat, such as from glass production, gas
turbines, diesel engines and waste combustion
plants.
And particularly when used with
Combined heat and power
generation
for maximum utilization of the primary energy
input. Similarly fuel-efficient is its use in industrial
steam supply networks running on fossil fuel-fired
boiler systems. Here the Spilling combined heat and
power generating system is installed and operated in
parallel with the existing pressure-reducing station to
boost electricity generating capacity.
Spilling steam engines and steam turbines are already being
successfully used in a number of companies, such as in the
timber and paper industry, in the glass and ceramics industry,
in public utilities, in the chemical industry and refineries, the
food industry, in rice mills and palm oil mills.
If steam is required at various pressures in production processes,
it is possible to produce high-pressure steam economically using
Spilling steam compressors without the need to install an
additional boiler plant.

Spilling steam engines –
unique throughout the world.
Robust, variable and a design that is unique throughout the
world are the defining characteristitcs of the Spilling steam
engine. Whether used as a generator or to provide direct drive,
it is very successful in both small and medium-sized steam
power plants due to its
Flexibility
By means of a simple modular system consisting of
standardized components with one to six cylinders and
fifteen different cylinder types, Spilling adapts its steam
engines to various operational conditions in the best way
possible. Depending on operational pressure ratios, the
steam is expanded in one or several stages. Multi-stage
engines allow for controlled extraction of steam for
defined pressures.
Efficiency
The special system for regulating steam supply
combined with the mechanical advantages of the
piston engine ensure optimum working efficiency,
a broad control range and outstanding performance
under partial load conditions.
State-of-the-art technology
Spilling steam engines work without the need
for lubrication of the cylinders with oil, thus
keeping the steam free of oil.
Durability
The strong basic design makes the Spilling
engine a long-lasting prime mover, which
will give reliable performance over many
decades.

Advantages
If your requirements call for a steam
engine with consistent optimum
performance even under varying
operating conditions then the Spilling
engine is first choice, offering
high efficiency even with partial loads
broad control ranges
moderate requirements regarding steam
quality
durable, robust technology
easy maintenance, which can also be carried
out by your own staff
maximum operational safety
Spilling steam engine installations are therefore
also especially well suited for supplying power to
facilities in remote areas with minimal technical
infrastructure.

Spilling steam turbines – a fitting
solution for every application
requirement.
Variable and geared towards application, the Spilling steam
turbine line has an impressively broad scope of application,
from which exactly the right model may be selected for every
conceivable customer need. You will gain from our
Versatility
The optimum turbine may be selected from two different
basic series and perfectly adapted to the respective
operating conditions and customer requirements by means
of its modular configuration. Spilling turbines are impulse
turbines with an axial construction.
Flexibility
Simple to set up, flexible to operate: the single-stage
turbines of the STS series are geared units with an
overhung design, which are fitted with single-row or
dual-row Curtis wheels.
Efficiency
Powerful and efficient, the size and number of
stages of the multi-stage turbines in the STM series
are adjusted according to the pressure gradients
to be used.
Adaptability
Adding the optional nozzle section regulation
enables the best possible handling of partial
loads. A configuration using two turbines in
a tandem assembly allows for controlled
steam extraction for both back pressure and
condensing turbines. Multi-stage turbines
are available with bleed taps.
Key data
The Spilling steam turbines of the STS
and STM series are used for
intake pressures of up to 80 bar
intake temperatures of up to 500 °C
driving powers of up to approx.
5000 kW
back pressure operation
condensing operation
generator or direct drive
Advantages
If you require a steam turbine that fits
your operating conditions perfectly,
the Spilling turbine line has the right
solution, offering
specific selection from a diverse range
of products
customized configuration
optimum working efficiency with multistage turbines
easy operation of single-stage machines
