Howden, A Chart Industries Company
About
Howden, now part of Chart Industries following a 2023 acquisition, is a global engineering company with over 160 years of history providing mission-critical air and gas handling equipment across more than 100 countries. In the water and wastewater sector, Howden's HV-TURBO and TURBLEX centrifugal turbo compressors are the industry benchmark for biological aeration in municipal and industrial sewage treatment, delivering measurably higher energy efficiency than competing compressor designs. The company's broader portfolio spans centrifugal, screw, and reciprocating compressors — including hydrogen and diaphragm types — under heritage brands such as Peter Brotherhood, Burton Corblin, and Kuehnle, Kopp and Kausch. The TFC90 and TFC180 standardized diaphragm compressor packages serve hydrogen fueling infrastructure, while Burton Corblin D-Series diaphragm compressors handle rare, toxic, and radioactive gases with hermetic separation. Howden's Rothemuehle rotary regenerative heat exchangers recover up to 100 MW of waste thermal energy in power generation and industrial processes, and the DELTA WING static gas mixer homogenizes gas flows for downstream efficiency. Steam turbines from 75 kW to 40 MWe serve waste-to-energy and cogeneration applications. The Howden Uptime digital monitoring platform provides predictive maintenance for all rotating equipment, and EMISSIONGUARD TR2 packing rings have prevented over 20 million Nm3 of gas leakage. Howden's Spencer brand supplies centrifugal blowers, gas boosters, and vacuum systems for corrosive and harsh environments.
