Tnekorea

TNE KOREA, founded in 2014 and based in Cheongju-si, South Korea, applies aerospace-derived turbo machinery technology to water treatment, hydrogen energy, and aerospace markets. The company's core innovations center on oil-free air foil bearings patented in Korea, the US, China, and Japan, paired with high-efficiency 3D impeller designs and PMSM motors operating from 10,000 to 200,000 RPM. For the water and wastewater sector, TNE KOREA produces air bearing and magnetic bearing turbo blowers covering 0.1 to 300 kW, delivering 500 to 10,000 Nm3/h at 40 to 150 kPa. These blowers target activated sludge aeration, MBR scouring, filter backwash, and SBR processes, with integrated frequency inverters exceeding 96% efficiency. Available in water-cooled and air-cooled configurations, they feature Industry 4.0 remote monitoring, multiple control modes including constant speed, constant pressure, and dissolved-oxygen-based aeration, and outdoor-rated IP54/IP56 enclosures. The company also manufactures turbo compressors for higher-pressure industrial air applications. Beyond water treatment, TNE KOREA produces air compressors for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from 8 to 30 kW, stationary fuel cell air supplies from 100W to 5 kW, environmental control systems for Korean fighter aircraft, air cycle heat pumps using air as refrigerant for hot water and cooled air, and ultra-low temperature coolers. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949, CE, and US NRTL certifications, and has been designated an Innovative Water Company in Korea.
