Curvaceous chosen as finalists in
The Carbon Trust Innovation Awards 2005

Curvaceous are proud to have been one of only three finalists from over 250 nominations for The Carbon Trust Innovation Awards 2005. Curvaceous was chosen for the success of their new technological approach to reducing carbon dioxide emissions from operating process plant by increasing plant efficiency.

Geometric Process Control (GPC) technology uses multi-dimensional geometry to visualise and model several hundred process, cost and emissions variables at once. An all-British invention, GPC has been proven in several uses and specifically for the Award in the trial outlined below where it enabled carbon dioxide emissions reduction by controlling the amount of energy used in a process.

From a trial in 2002 on a 10MW Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant Curvaceous saved 13% of fuel cost equating to over £200,000 per year. Over 11,000 tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide emissions were cut as a direct result without any capital expenditure.

Curvaceous was delighted to reach the final of this prestigious award. Managing Director Dr. Robin Brooks

“Improving the efficiency of existing plants in the Process Industries ultimately means that they need to burn less fuel. This has a significant effect on reducing climate change, the effects of which are becoming more and more noticeable. Our focus on the efficiency of the process industries is helping many large process companies achieve better efficiency with short-term economic benefits to themselves and reduced emissions benefits to the environment. We are proud that The Carbon Trust has recognised Curvaceous’ invention and development of GPC and honoured GPC as a successful technology in the struggle to lower carbon dioxide emissions.”

  
2005 CUSTOMER FORUM 

Curvaceous recently hosted their annual Customer Forum which was a great success. A number of customers shared the experiences they are having with GPC with the group which provoked much discussion. Customers also learnt about new GPC developments and changes in Curvaceous over the past year.

There were many opportunities for networking throughout the day and feedback from the clients who attended has already influenced some major company decisions.

Attendance at the Forum is by invitation only to all members of the TAP (Technology Application Programme) support scheme. One year's subscription to the scheme is included with all new GPC purchases. Other benefits include free upgrades, free training and help desk support for example.
