Gastechnik Himmel

What Gastechnik Himmel does

Gastechnik Himmel GmbH is an Austrian specialist engineering firm headquartered in Korneuburg near Vienna, focused on gas technology and gas processing equipment for biogas, landfill gas, and sewage treatment gas applications. Its product portfolio comprises medium- and high-temperature gas flares (MTU, MTU-v, MTU-HT), gas compressors (GVD), pressure boosting stations, lean gas treatment via regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO), landfill gas plants, turnkey containerized plants, and bespoke custom-engineered systems. A flagship offering is the Gasaufbereitung Himmel (GAH) system, which integrates EVONIK's SEPURAN Green membrane module with the firm's own BioMem technology to upgrade raw biogas to any purity level suitable for natural gas grid injection or CNG filling station use. The firm maintains reference and pilot installations at Sachsendorf and Neukirchen/Vöckla to validate biogas processing configurations and membrane performance.

The company serves three primary customer segments: biogas plant operators (agricultural operations, livestock farms, and dedicated biogas facilities), landfill operators (municipal and industrial waste management sites), and industrial gas processing clients, with a delivered reference in the Australian steel industry for pressure regulation and gas-air mixing. Revenue derives from one-time equipment sales (flares, compressors, pressure boosting stations), turnkey hardware systems (schlüsselfertige Containeranlagen), and professional services including engineering, commissioning, and retrofitting/modernization of existing plants. Pricing is project-specific and non-publicly disclosed, with each system custom-engineered. GTM is sales-led and project-based B2B, with full lifecycle support from planning through commissioning; international reach into Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania, and South America is delivered via an established network of nine named regional channel partners covering Turkey, Hungary, the UAE, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Australia/New Zealand/Pacific, Morocco/West Africa, and France. The company is privately held under Austrian GmbH law, led by Managing Director Ing. Heinz Himmel, with no external investors, parent entities, or disclosed acquisitions identified in the data.

Core offering

Gastechnik Himmel GmbH designs, manufactures, and commissions industrial gas processing equipment and turnkey containerized plants for biogas, landfill gas, and sewage treatment applications. Its product range covers gas flares (MTU, MTU-v, MTU-HT variants), gas compressors (GVD), pressure boosting stations, regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO), landfill gas plants, and biogas upgrading systems (Gasaufbereitung Himmel / GAH) that integrate EVONIK's SEPURAN® Green membrane technology. The company also delivers custom-engineered solutions (Sonderanfertigungen), turnkey container plants, and engineering services spanning planning, production, and commissioning.

Product overview

Gastechnik Himmel GmbH is a specialist provider of gas technology and gas processing equipment based in Korneuburg, Austria. Its product portfolio consists of standalone industrial equipment rather than a unified software platform. The core offering spans gas flares (medium-temperature MTU, shortened MTU-v, and high-temperature MTU-HT variants), gas compressors (GVD), pressure boosting stations, and lean gas treatment systems (RTO). These components are complemented by fully automated landfill gas and biogas plants, including the SEPURAN® Green membrane-based Gasaufbereitung Himmel (GAH) system developed with EVONIK, which enables biogas upgrading for natural gas grid injection or CNG fueling. The company also offers custom-made products (Sonderanfertigungen), turnkey container-based plants (schlüsselfertige Containeranlagen), and a range of engineering services. Reference facilities include a large-scale plant in Sachsendorf and a test installation in Neukirchen/Vöckla. With over 20 years of experience, Gastechnik Himmel operates internationally, delivering to clients in Europe, Australia, Brazil, Kuwait, South Africa, and Morocco.
