About runkel gas systems
runkel gas systems GmbH, based in Jena, specializes in industrial and commercial gas systems. The company offers complete solutions from consulting, design and planning to plant and pipework construction, commissioning and maintenance, all from a single source. Its service portfolio covers new construction and retrofit of industrial firing systems, gas pressure, metering and safety trains, gas burners and lances, special pipework construction, high-purity and High Purity Gas Systems made of stainless steel, as well as gas compressor systems and flares for biogas, landfill gas and natural gas. Qualified welders with certification in accordance with EN 287-1 or DIN 65228 work in the TIG, oxy-fuel, solder welding, brazing and orbital welding processes. Customers include companies from the chemical, glass, automotive, textile and metal processing industries, foundries, forging shops, the pharmaceutical and food industries, and CHP manufacturers, including Carl-Zeiss-Jena, Schott and Armacell. The company's roots go back to 1929; the Jena site has existed since 1991.
