A jet pump system from a Cranfield company repaid its £2m installation costs in seven days by harnessing waste energy to boost production on a Southern North Sea platform. Caltec’s system increased production from BP’s Inde platform and satellite wells by enough to supply the energy needs of 12 million people. The system, which has achieved similar results on other installations, is being rolled out around the world and adapted for use on oil wells. Its performance to date clinched the East of England Energy Group’s annual Energy Innovation Awards title. Joint runners-up in the Awards were Norfolk-based Banham Poultry’s project to generate power from poultry waste and Renewable Energy Systems’ zero-carbon headquarters in Hertfordshire.
