Firms win Queen’s Awards for innovation in energy sector

An emissions-reduction firm and an energy monitor company are among the businesses celebrating receiving a Queen’s Award for innovation.

Winchester-based RJM International won an award for innovation in the design and manufacture of Ultra-Low NOx Burners for thermal-fired combustion plant. The company provides of emissions reduction solutions and other equipment to the power generation and large combustion plant sectors.

RJM has developed a low-NOx firing solution, including replacement burners, which reduces the levels of NOx emissions to very low levels during combustion while maintaining operational efficiency. This allows operators to reduced NOx emissions without reconfiguring the plant to enable a post-combustion, flue gas treatment facility to be installed

Hardwick based Green Energy Options (Geo) won a Queen’s Award for innovation for its in-home energy monitor, Solo.

“Solo represents the starting point for everything that Geo was set up to do,” commented Patrick Caiger-Smith,  Geo’s chief executive. “It is a highly engineered and beautifully designed solution that is simple and engaging to use. However, it also has the power to deliver vital data to the cloud that can be captured, transferred, stored and analysed, resulting in information to help the customer.”
