As part of one of its official representations, P.A.I is involved in the maintenance operations and manufacturer recommendations for a fleet of over 100 Turbo Expanders in North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Turbo Expanders play a key role in the transition towards a more sustainable industry. These devices recover energy from high-pressure gases or fluids and convert it into electricity or mechanical energy, improving the energy efficiency of installations and reducing CO₂ emissions.
Used in refrigeration and cooling systems, they optimize energy performance by reducing compressor load and energy consumption.
By valorizing lost energy, Turbo Expanders fully integrate into a circular economy and responsible resource management approach. They are also present in renewable energy projects such as geothermal or biomass, contributing to cleaner and more efficient energy production.
Thanks to technological advances (innovative materials and optimized design), these devices are now more efficient, durable, and environmentally friendly.
The adoption of Turbo Expanders represents an important step toward a more responsible industry, where performance and sustainability go hand in hand.
P.A.I aims to continue its activities as a representative of renowned international manufacturers who understand the energy challenges of tomorrow.
As part of its official representations through our “Rotating Equipment” range, P.A.I has been involved since 2019 in the maintenance monitoring of 4 Gas Compressors.
The overall project aims to extract methane dissolved in Lake Kivu and convert it into clean, renewable electricity.
Lake Kivu, located on the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, contains significant amounts of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Their accumulation represents an environmental risk but also a major energy opportunity.
To valorize this resource while ensuring the lake’s safety, the project implements an innovative process:
P.A.I is proud to be part of this innovative and unique project, combining energy performance and environmental preservation.
