ENCASE Project General Assembly Meeting takes place in Italy
June 5, 2024

Dr Wes Maru has just returned from The 3rd General Assembly meeting of the ENCASE project which took place last week at the Politecnico di Milano Piacenza Campus, and at the LEAP s.c.a r.l. Tecnopolo Piacenza.

Dr Wes Maru gave a presentation detailing the technical intricacies of the Novel Primary Measurement standard (a Piston Prover) and the Secondary Standard (UBIETY (R) Flow Meter) that can capture the compressible Liquid and Supercritical CO2 (multiphase) flows - including our innovative 4-way and 3-position linear valve with no hydraulic null, a significant departure and improvement from current valves used in aerospace flight control.

The EU has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Deployment of Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) from different industrial sectors across Europe is a powerful fast track approach to abate CO₂ emissions. The consortium includes 20 partners from 6 different countries. It is with this collaborative spirit that we contribute to the
ENCASE project by delivering a primary standard small volume (piston) prover and high-resolution ultrasonic flow meter (HR-USM) to accurately measure the multi-phase Liquid-Supercritical CO₂ flow in controlled flow loops.

ENCASE project is working to improve research infrastructures dealing with CO2 capture and storage, visit the website https://www.encase-eu.com/

Jurij has joined UBIETY recently as a Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer. He received his MSc in Electronics Engineering with special focus in IC design. However, Jurij claims that in all his conscious life, he has been developing electronics devices and equipment. “I was always involved in multiple projects that are not limited to a single industry and require broad knowledge and fast learning”, says Jurij. “I have probably worked in all fields of electronics for the past 17 years, covering analogue, digital, and RF circuit design—from initial concept through to mass production.” Over the course of his career, Jurij has developed a wide range of advanced devices, including RF Software Defined Radios, LTE base stations, Bone Conduction headsets, various medical and Lab automation instruments, vehicle diagnostic device, Transceiver IC, iOS app. He is passionate about solving complex engineering challenges with elegant, efficient, and practical solutions. “I enjoy staying hands-on and combining technical depth with broad system-level thinking” says Jurij, and that is the sort of technical expertise that UBIETY was after and found in Jurij so that he can develop it further. Fun facts: Being 12 years old, Jurij made an amplifier from an old vinyl player (without any understanding of audio amplifiers) and used it to listen to hard rock. Designed a Bone Conduction headset for the construction industry that got into Top-100 innovations of 2021 by the Times magazine. Jurij didn’t like literature classes in school, but published a book - a collection of hooligan poetry of classic poets!

Nghia is an engineer with expertise in developing signal processing algorithms applied to radio-frequency data, especially ultrasound signals. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2012. From 2012 to 2014, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where he developed image reconstruction methods for medical ultrasound tomography. He was a Senior Research Associate in the Medical Imaging group at the University of Cambridge afterwards, where he developed beamforming methods to enhance ultrasound image quality. Prior to joining UBIETY, Nghia had worked for three years in industry on the area of aerospace navigation, where he applied his beamforming techniques to anti-jamming devices and anti-spoofing technologies. Nghia has published many papers in journals and conferences on imaging science and medical imaging. In free time, he is keen on playing sports, spending time with his family and giving scientific talks to primary school children.
