The detailed design phase of our 50kWe MONO system designed to couple to the Okozentrum / Compag CPP-800 PyroChar plant is now complete. The system is now expected to be built by the end of October with site factory testing planned for the winter.

The build phase of the new 50kWe prototype high efficiency Hot Air Turbine, designed for concentrated solar applications is now nearing completion. It features two main advances:

• A second high pressure stage turbocharger enabling the heat exchanger pressure to be raised from 5 bar to 7 bar, substantially increasing efficiency
• A low pressure drop intercooler, increasing air mass flows and output power
