Industry's choice for scalable, de-risked R&D
We work with:
- Global companies of all sizes, from technology start-ups to multinational industry partners, who need capacity to research new technology and innovations.
- World-leading research and innovation centres
- Academic research teams wishing to access advanced testing facilities and the opportunity to collaborate.
- Regional enterprises of all sizes, particularly SMEs. We work closely with local partners to assess how to reduce the cost of energy for their business and to find solutions to operational energy loss issues.
Space for your equipment and research
As well as our permanent rigs, we have visitor bays which researchers and partners can use to install and test their own equipment. We currently have one internal and five external bays available, which can be connected to various mechanical and electrical services. You will benefit from connections to our permanent test rigs, adding significant capability and value to any research project.
All bays are 8m x 5m in size, with flexibility to increase depending on adjacency and technology layout.
Connections include: full range of electrical interfaces, cryogenic N2, zero-carbon N2, flue gas (CO2-rich), CO2 product (e.g. captured CO2), compressed air, H2 low pressure, H2 medium pressure. Additional requirements may be accommodated thanks to the flexible nature of the infrastructure.
Get in touch below to find out more and discuss your specific requirements.
Collaborating to innovate
We’re built to support businesses responsively. The facility is open access, and supports industrial and academic R&D through collaborative or contract projects.
A partnership can involve:
- Long term projects that give you access to all of the University’s energy-related capabilities
- Access to specialised testing facilities
- Design and prototyping that can shorten development times for energy technologies
- Consultancy for short term problem solving
- PhD or postdoctoral projects for when you’ve identified a longer-term opportunity, but don’t have the in-house resource
Working in collaboration with experts means you can reduce the high costs and risks of establishing an in-house team to carry out the research on your own.
Speak to our team of experts today to discuss your research and project ideas.
