Improving fuel economy, clean energy - MethaNull

With the help of the FFG in 2012 and of the AWS in 2013, CBOne started the MethaNull programme (Towards zero Methane emissions in the atmosphere). This technology aims to burn gases with low heat contents under enhanced operation and safety conditions.

Our intention was to provide within a 3-years frame a portable technology based on pulse combustion.

We did achieve our goals.

Charlotte For Ever

(Okay– even if this is not exactly the subject -please allow me with this title to pay tribute to Charlotte Gainsbourg :)

We wish to thank the ASME and all of the organisers at the Turbo Expo for the great conference that took place last month in Charlotte, South Carolina. We presented our latest progress on advanced  combustion monitoring and innovative low-emission processes. Charlotte will remain to me one of the greatest editions of the ASME Turbo Expo, competing for the first place in my personal best-of with Barcelona 2006!

Lukas Andracher from FH Joanneum presented the joint works on the project “emotion” (GT2017-63626),
while the author of these lines (Fabrice Giuliani from CBOne) was in charge of the project “MethaNull” (GT2017-64429)

Our presence at this conference was supported by the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency) together with the BMVIT (Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology) in the frame of the ”TAKE-OFF” programme (Contract 850470), and by the SFG (Styrian Business Promotion Agency) in the frame of the contract Welt!Markt 1000044931. We would like to pay tribute to all parties.

In this article you find press releases, as well as the links to the article specifics and corresponding slides.

 

 

ASME Turbo Expo 2017: Make Combustion Great Again!!!!

We are honoured to be part of the renowned ASME Turbo Expo 2017. This year's ASME conference will be held from June 26 - 30 in Charlotte, North Carolina. CBOne will present its latest research about a novel probe concept for advanced combustion monitoring and about a method for the improvement of impaired combustion conditions at off-design operation points.

Charlotte likes it hot !!!

For the improvement of impaired combustion conditions a robust acoustic driver (called siren) is used, being able to perform well and last long in an industrial environment. The previous figure suggests how the siren could be implemented on a real power gas turbine.

Five Stars

Combustion Bay One is five years old!

CBOne was officially opened on the 27th of March 2012. At that time we were rushing a bit to get the first contract officially signed with the official stamp of an engineering office!

Five years. Fifteen people directly involved. Eleven publications. Twelve presentations in renowned international congresses and conferences. Two proprietary technologies... See all counts for all what can be counted in the detailed section.

Many students. Many slides. Many km. Many many contacts and a happy few… who turned eventually into our dear Clients! The small "r" in cont(r)act is not trivial. A lot of sweat. A lot of humor, sometimes bittersweet, often good. A lot of smiles. A lot of laughs. 

We thank good luck. We appreciate the wide spectrum of things done. 

I rise my glass. Not only to these five years, but also to a bright future. 

To CBOne. To the people who made it. Cheers!

Fabrice Giuliani, CEO
