The Revolution Bars Group has selected the Sustainable Energy Controller ( SEC ) -100 heat recovery system from Beijer Ref company SCM Frigo for its Revolution Leeds venue in the heart of the city ’ s fashionable Exchange Quarter . The group currently has 88 venues operating under the Revolution and Revolución de Cuba brands , alongside two new concepts in Playhouse and Founders & Co and the recently acquired Peach Pubs . SCM Frigo ’ s SEC is a standalone heat recovery product that captures heat from refrigeration and air conditioning systems and converts it into hot water . It not only operates when the cooling system is in operation , it also provides a source of energy , and when the system stops by

manipulating the system into operating as an air-to-water heat pump . The Leeds venue has a belowground cellar , with refrigeration and air conditioning equipment all located together in the first-floor plant room . A gas boiler provides heat for the building , with an immersion heater generating the hot water . The SEC unit has been connected to the bar ’ s existing Marstair beer cellar system and uses rejected and otherwise wasted heat from the cooling equipment to produce hot water . With a cellar cooling duty of 4.6kW , in addition to the energy generated by the cellar cooling compressor of 1.15kW , and a projected average run time of 14 hours per day , represents 26,444kW / year of recoverable heat .

IperionX ( IPX ) is pleased to announce the successful commissioning of the Hydrogen Assisted Metallothermic Reduction ( HAMRTM ) furnace , marking the first titanium deoxygenation production run at the Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia , U . S . A . This first titanium deoxygenation production run represents a key technological milestone for IperionX that underpins a breakthrough + 60x increase in titanium production capacity . Produced entirely from 100 % scrap titanium ( Ti-6Al-4V alloy , Grade 5 titanium ), quality assessments confirmed a large reduction in oxygen levels from 3.42 % to below 0.07 %, far exceeding the ASTM standard requirement of 0.2 % for Grade 5 titanium .

IperionX ’ s proprietary HAMR technologies offer a range of competitive advantages , including lower operating temperatures , reduced energy consumption , enhanced process efficiency , and accelerated production cycles - all achieved with lower capital investment intensity . Over the coming months , IperionX will commission and optimize the supporting process equipment to achieve full system production capacity in Virginia , with end-toend system operations expected in late Q4 2024 . IperionX plans to expand the capacity of its Titanium Manufacturing Campus by adding modular , low-risk , and low-cost HAMR furnaces . IperionX aims to be a leading U . S . titanium producer of + 10,000 metric tons per annum by 2030 .

Veolia is set to deliver wideranging energy projects to further decarbonize the heat supply at the University Hospital

of Hartlepool . Designed to de-steam the current heating system and deliver guaranteed carbon savings of 2,179 tons per

year , it will use a ground source heat pump and thermal store , combined with solar arrays to maximize energy efficiency . The innovative new scheme is the first healthcare site where Veolia has implemented this type of design in the UK and will help the hospital meet the NHS carbon reduction targets for 2030 . Veolia has been managing energy at the hospital that provides patients with a wide range of diagnostic services , outpatient clinics , and low risk surgery , since 2003 using combined heat and power , CHP . The new upgrades will use a combination of technologies to

optimize efficiency and balance the electrical and thermal requirements . The new scheme combines a 1,400kW ground source heat pump system , with a 70,000 liter thermal store , to optimize the efficiency of the system by operating the heat pump at a higher load , when it is most efficient , to charge the store and deplete it over several hours . To maximize efficiency and give N + 1 redundancy the heat pump will use the supply from two boreholes , and will be supported by 1MWp of renewable electricity supplied from ground and roof mounted solar PV arrays .
