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.

UBIETY® welcomes Nghia Nguyen as Senior Ultrasonic Engineer - Tomography

By Sarah.Payne • May 1, 2025
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.

ENCASE Third General Assembly in France

By Sarah.Payne • December 5, 2024
The Third General Assembly of ENCASE took place at University Technology Compiègne (UTC), France, on November 21st/22nd, 2024. ENCASE is an EU funded project that brings together Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage researchers, operators, manufacturers, academia, and SMEs to increase competitiveness in the industry. Dr Wes Maru participated in the GA representing our effort in three areas of deliverables for Liquid and Supercritical CO2 metrology – namely: a) The Development and Commissioning of Novel Compact Prover as a Primary Standard, b) Flow Simulation Development for UBIETY Meter and c) Development and Testing of High Resolution Ultrasonic Flow Meter  ENCASE is organised in 7-work packages where the interaction and knowledge transfer between, and the key deliverables from each work packages is expected to dramatically alter our understanding and utilisation of such technologies as the primary engineering solutions in the global effort to reduce emitted carbon dioxide.
