Company Description
The Welding Engineering Research Centre at Cranfield University provides basic, strategic and applied research and related postgraduate training in Welding Engineering.
The Centre's welding laboratory contains state-of-the-art equipment, including the latest robotic, laser and arc welding equipment, with access to modern metallographic and testing facilities.
The Centre is the largest academic group in the United Kingdom dedicated to welding and welding automation. The Centre has a strong activity in pipeline welding and works with a number of major pipeline companies and welding contractors.
Work includes investigating welding metallurgy of X100 linepipe, development of high productivity welding processes for pipeline construction, and deep-water hyperbaric tie-in and repair welding. The Welding Engineering Research Centre was the first to apply tandem arc welding to narrow groove pipe welding, and has completed development of CAPS (Cranfield Automated Pipe Welding System) dual tandem welding. The CAPS technology has been transferred to industry, and the tandem pipeline welding processes developed at Cranfield are now in commercial use. Current developments are focussing on root pass welding, process monitoring and control, pipeline weldingautomation and pipeline laser welding.

n/aCompany Description
The Division for Energy and Sustainability brings together cities, scientific and industrial organisations in order to implement a comprehensive model for enhancing sustainable planning addressing the current and future city energy needs through an integrative and multidisciplinary planning approach. This approach will identify the optimum mix of short, medium and long term measures for a sustainable energy future, addressing the efficiency of energy flows across various city sectors with regards to economic, environmental and social criteria and paving the way towards actual implementation of priority actions. Projects within the division could benefit from greater input from the utility sector: utilities are a provider of critical city infrastructure and are a key stakeholder (improving operational and policy impacts) and there is a need for utility data to improve the modelling process.

n/aCompany Description
Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) is a research partnership drawing together world-class CCS expertise from a range of Scottish universities and the British Geological Survey. Our capabilities cover all aspects of the CCS chain and we engage with businesses and policy makers to drive forward CCS development at home and abroad.CCS and CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations will require a substantial network of new pipelines, connections and services, and we can advise and work with companies on technical and feasibility issues to meet this challenge. We can also access a range of funding for industry and academia to work together to leverage R&D investment. As of 2014 in the UK we have two commercial-scale CCS projects undergoing detailed design studies: Peterhead, Aberdeenshire and White Rose, Yorkshire. These are in line to be among the first of many full-chain CCS projects across Europe and elsewhere in the world.UK and Scottish Government emphasis on making the most of remaining North Sea oil reserves means that capturing CO2 for use in EOR operations could lead to exciting opportunities for the pipeline industries.
