Oschatz

What Oschatz does

Oschatz Power GmbH is a privately held German industrial plant constructor headquartered in Essen and operating as a member of the Deurotech Group. Founded in 1849, the company designs and delivers custom-engineered combustion, energy recovery, and waste utilization systems for industrial clients across four core segments: iron and steel, non-ferrous metallurgy, industrial power plant engineering, and the chemical industry. Its product portfolio centers on waste heat recovery systems (Abhitzesysteme), process gas coolers for nitric acid, caprolactam and hydroxylamine plants, sulfuric acid waste heat boilers, direct-fired steam generators, and complete turnkey thermal disposal plants, alongside waste-to-energy (WTE), refuse-derived fuel (RDF), and biomass combustion installations. Proprietary technical features include flexible pendulum supports, evaporator-type furnace crown cooling systems, dedicated leak detection devices for spiral tube boilers, and process gas cooling vessels up to 6m in diameter, with the company reporting market leadership positions of 200+ process gas cooler installations and 40+ sulfuric acid waste heat boilers worldwide. Revenue mechanics are B2B project-based: Oschatz sells custom-engineered equipment and turnkey plants directly to industrial and municipal clients, increasingly as part of EPC consortiums (e.g., Mostostal Zabrze and PRUiM on Poland's Green Energy Park project), with quote-based pricing and a complementary industrial services offering covering maintenance management, spare parts, emergency services, and plant modifications.
