Completed: Data-driven optimisation framework for assessing energy and emission saving potentials in foundation industries

In collaboration with Palm Paper This project focussed on the assessment of prospective energy and cost savings associated with foundation industries. A case study of Palm Paper was considered but the underlying concepts transcend this specific application. Palm Paper is a paper production company which produces newsprints and news paper grades from completely recycled materials […]

Completed: Introducing high-temperature hyperspectral electronics to the foundation industries 

In collaboration with Tata Steel Hyperspectral metrology utilising a visible-range hyperspectral imaging system has been verified through testing with high-temperature hydrocarbon flames. Gas-phase flames were imaged, and the spectral emission of methane-air flames comprehensively investigated. The results demonstrated that the newly developed system can capture the gas-phase flames precisely and that the high spatial resolution […]
