Energy

The Division is increasingly being called on to develop components and sub-assemblies for new products across the power sector. It supplies a range of products used in the manufacture of thin-film photovoltaic cells for the solar industry, while the Certech business manufactures cores used in the manufacture of turbine blades for industrial gas turbines.

Environmental and energy/cost efficiency issues make heat and thermal management a key issue in the power generation and renewable energy sector. The Division’s thermal management products have a strong position in higher end applications, for example low bio-persistent fibre SuperwoolR is used for duct insulation in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), providing high-temperature resistance using an environmentally friendly material. The new-generation fibre Superwool PlusR improves HRSG design further by reducing heat losses or reducing panel thickness.
