Featuring the RadMAX™ Patented Expander Technology
About Us
TAKEnergy was formed in 2021 by five Calgary business leaders who share a passion for manufacturing and implementing innovative green technologies. We believe in finding sustainable solutions that provide needed energy, while reducing our environmental impact.
Expander Technology
Expanders or Turbo Expanders have been used in industry since the early 1960’s. Thousands of units are in service around the world and the technology is well proven. Turbo Expanders will recover the energy which occurs as natural gas pressure is reduced. This energy, in the form of mechanical shaft power, will be used to drive a compressor or a generator to produce zero emission electricity. The team at TAKEnergy have experience working with several Turbo Expander manufacturers and can work with you to find the optimal solution for your unique needs. We offer three technology options for pressure reduction:
RadMax® Gas Expander for 1kW – 300kW Applications
Efficient expansion of low density and lower volume flow of gases; better handling of gas entrained liquids...
Magnetic Bearing Turbo Generator (MTG) for 300 kW Applications
Small footprint (NPS18 x 1.6m long); low operating costs (oil free design, no bearing wear); high efficiency due to low mechanical loss...
Conventional Bearing Turbo Generator (TG) for 700 kW – 15 MW Applications
Low capital costs vs. power production; high efficiency in medium to high flow applications; dual stage expansion....
RadMax® Gas Expander
TAKEnergy is pleased to announce that we have recently joined forces with RadMax Technologies Inc., of Spokane Washington, to commercialize the patented RadMax Gas Expander. We believe this technology will be a game changer in small scale power generation from natural gas pressure letdown applications.
RADMAX GAS EXPANDER CYCLE
The RadMax gas expander design is a combination of four distinct sections: two complete intake and discharge expansion cycles on each cam in the standard two cam configuration...
GAS EXPANSION AND WORK POTENTIAL PRINCIPLE
The total amount of energy contained in a volume of gas is in two forms: pressure energy (useful work energy) and internal energy...
RADMAX GAS EXPANDER OPERATION
In the RadMax positive-displacement gas expander, the vanes move axially driven by the rotor face and the pressure in each chamber changes when the adjacent vanes extend or retract...
