Making Hydrogen smelly; Hydrogen is the solution to future low carbon energy needs, if so, it would be essential to have an olfactory alarm to identify the danger of unintended release. Smelly odorants are ubiquitous in natural gas as we use them in industry and our homes. However, the sulfur molecules currently used as natural gas odorant is incompatible...

Radiation Curing utilising Light Emitting Diodes (LED) offers substantial energy savings for industrial wood coating applications compared to conventional UV mercury arc lamps (~60% less) and traditional gas fired drying systems (~90% less). However, the growth of Radiation Curing applications has been limited due to: Poor depth penetration of UV in pigme...

Britest Ltd is developing a methodology for assessing how the properties of a complex multi-phase formulation propagate through a process into the products on a qualitative/ semi-quantitative basis. The project is a feasibility study to ascertain whether existing tools used by Britest for chemical reaction processes can be modified to gain the required un...

This project will develop a new technology so that the rubber industry can process its materials at significantly lower temperatures. A reduction in process temperature of 30 – 50 °C will drastically reduce the energy consumption of the rubber sector, providing cost savings and a massive reduction in the carbon footprint. Moreover, the novel technology pl...

Thanks to the TSB call for sustainable manufacturing for the process industry, AM Technology and Robinson Brothers Limited have joint forces to investigate a catalytic hydrogenation using the Coflore ACR continuous processing technology. Controlled slurred catalyst feed, enhanced mass transfer and good heat transfer will be applied to obtain a cleaner, mo...
