Company - B&D

OUR HISTORY

1971 – Bonnenberg and Drescher is founded

1970 to 1980 – Focus on nuclear technology.

In the 1970s, the focus of our work is on nuclear engineering issues. We work for all types of nuclear reactors, for interim and final storage, as well as for reprocessing. During this time, we begin developing the H3/C14 collector for exhaust air monitoring of nuclear facilities, which still defines the standard today in terms of detection limits and reliability.

1980 to 1990 – Combustion plants and operational data management

In the 1980s, we expand our range of services to include services for conventional power plants, combustion plants (hazardous waste, municipal waste, sewage sludge), and chemical plants. During this time, our focus is on the acceptance of flue gas cleaning systems in large power plants, the areas of safety and environment, engineering and approval procedures, as well as construction supervision. In the mid-1980s, we develop one of the first PC-based operational data management systems with INDAS.

1990 to 2000 – Acoustic gas temperature measurement

In 1991, with AGAM, we set new standards for temperature measurement across furnaces in power plants and waste incineration plants. Acoustic gas temperature measurement is initially used for denitrification and the diagnosis of furnaces. In the mid-1990s, this is followed by its use for combustion control and measurement in accordance with the 17th BImSchV.

2000 to 2010 - More complex diagnostics and combustion control

In the 2000s, we continuously further develop our products. As a result, new fields of application open up, especially for AGAM: complex diagnostics and the trimming of the combustion position are becoming increasingly important.

2010 to today - Use also in steelworks

In 2018, B&D presents the new generation of the AGAM system, AGAM G3. The system includes new, modular and smart hardware and completely new software tailored to it. After several years of development work, AGAM has also been used in steelworks since 2010.
