»A company by SORGENT.E NEWS PRINT VIDEO CONTACTS GROUP MJ2 TECHNOLOGIES PRODUCT MARKET REALIZATIONS CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE QUALITY SAFETY ENVIRONMENT VALUES AND RESPONSIBILITIES A new concept of hydroelectric turbine , designed for the exploitation of very low heads (with net head height between 1.4 m and 3 m) originated from an intuition of a team of professionals in the hydroelectric power plant sector with years of experience and hundreds of traditional achievements. At the moment there is no equipment that allows the construction of reasonably productive hydroelectric plants with a head of less than 2 m, in the economic context of developed countries. Some technologies are technically available, but their application implies such high civil engineering costs that make the overall investment too demanding. A patent application in France was filed for the VLH turbogenerator system in 2003, the result of many years of experience in low head turbine design. Today this patent has been in force internationally since 2006. In April 2004, the company MJ2 technologies sas was founded with the aim of developing the new project from a scientific, research and development, and industrial level. Preliminary studies were completed in 2004 and 2005. In 2006 the tests on small-scale models were successful and the technical performance was confirmed, arriving at the end of that year when the first plant was put into service. In the following 5 years, MJ2 technologies has closed agreements with partners in ten European countries, in North and South America, carrying out the commissioning of over 30 plants. At the end of 2012, MJ2 technologies is, to all intents and purposes, a company of the Sorgent.e group , which has increased its initial stake to today hold a controlling stake.
