Our Product

Blue Carbon is an innovative energy reduction specialist offering the world’s only electrical current optimisation technology, Ultra eco®. Blue Carbon has offices in the UK and Germany, where it’s growing fast, and has ambitious growth plans in other markets. Blue Carbon works closely with clients to deliver tangible savings and believes that Ultra eco® can play a significant role

Ultra eco® can be deployed in any commercial environment with optimum results achieved where inductive loads such as motors, pumps, compressors, conveyors, air handling units, heavy machinery and refrigeration equipment are present. Our clients are most commonly found in the following industries

Ultra eco® is at the forefront of the second phase of energy saving technology products. Ultra eco® can reduce an organisation’s carbon emissions and power consumption and deliver cost savings of up to 23%.

Ultra eco® can be installed alongside other existing

in helping businesses to improve the efficiency of their energy use and reduce their carbon emissions.

This is greener, cleaner and kinder to the environment.

• Manufacturing and Heavy Industry • Production and Engineering • Aggregates and Construction • Utilities • Food Retail • Airports and Railway Stations • Hotel and Leisure • Public Sector

energy saving solutions including Voltage Optimisation, Power Factor Correction and Soft Start Technologies to provide additional savings.

At the forefront of energy saving technology

The benefits of Ultra eco® Ultra eco® is a unique technology that reduces kWh consumption, electricity costs and carbon emissions by as much as 23%, while delivering a shorter return on investment than other energy reduction technologies.

• A typical return on investment of less than 24 months • Savings of up to 23% on kWh consumption, cost and carbon emissions • Fast and unobtrusive installation • No on-going maintenance • Considerably smaller than comparative technologies • Dispersed installation can target individual loads and equipment • Compatibility with other energy saving technologies delivering additional savings

The 14 Ultra eco® models range from 0.5 kVA to 1,500 kVA enabling Blue Carbon to match its solution to a client’s level of energy consumption, usage profile and commercial benefit. With our dispersed multi-unit design and installation process we focus on the usage patterns, types of load and differing load requirements to maximise the savings efficiency.

Finding a suitable installation point is easy as Ultra eco® units are up to 90% smaller and lighter than equivalent capacity equipment used by other optimisation and load management technologies.

The right connection for a perfect installation

A unique and flexible solution Ultra eco® is connected in parallel to the supply at any point before or after the electrical distribution board. Ultra eco® is not fused and is designed as an open circuit with no current being drawn by the unit. Ultra eco® requires no maintenance and runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

A unique feature of the Ultra eco solution is its ability to target specific loads using a dispersed installation process. Units can be installed immediately prior to the targeted loads maximising both the achievable savings Blue Carbon’s team of registered engineers will project manage the installation of Ultra eco® from start to finish. Our engineering team manage a UK-wide network of experienced electrical engineers to undertake the site surveys and installations. ®

• All installations are made by NIC EIC or ECA registered qualified electricians.

• Ultra eco® is installed in accordance with IEE Requirements for Electrical Installations (currently 17th Edition) BS 7671.

• Ultra eco® is installed within an insulating box and all cabling is protected within an armoured conduit.

The fastest route to energy reduction

Electrical Current Optimisation Ultra eco uses a revolutionary breakthrough in current improvement and energy saving technology known as electrical current optimisation. Other energy saving technologies rely on fundamentally altering the supplied voltage or managing the loads being distributed. Electrical current optimisation increases the conductivity within the circuit and decreases the current curve of inductive motor loads on start-up and during variable operation. 速

Electrical current optimisation is produced through a combination of far infrared rays emitted by Ceramic A and alternating electromagnetic waves within the supply that affect the electromagnetic properties of Ceramic B.

Ceramic B emits a magnetic pulse which is delivered into the electrical circuit creating a state of improved conductivity. The resulting optimised electrical current reduces the electrical consumption of the inductive loads within the system.

Delivering measurable results

Survey

Design and Install

Measure

To ensure clients achieve the optimum levels of performance following installation, Blue Carbon collects the key data during the survey including

The design process involves the analysis of the data collected during the survey and the evaluation of the operating profile of each individual load and the building as a whole. The operating profile and consumption is determined using Blue Carbon’s data analysis software. The consumption profile of the load is determined, allowing the matching of the correct Ultra eco® model to the load.

Measuring the performance of Ultra eco® ensures that all savings data is accurately provided for clients.

By clearly identifying the savings delivered

by Ultra eco®, Blue Carbon is able to accurately predict the return on investment the client will achieve.

• Identification and location of all main and sub distribution boards and the size of their loads • Operating days and hours of all loads • Details of any installation constraints such as access and space • Variables influencing the consumption of the loads • Historical consumption data (typically 12 months of half hourly readings)

Blue Carbon has adopted the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) as used by the leading energy service companies and suppliers.

IPMVP allows Blue Carbon to adopt a variety of approaches to measuring energy savings that correspond to the specific environment where Ultra eco® is being installed.

Success through partnership

Working together

Rewarding partnerships

Join the energy reduction revolution

Blue Carbon follows a simple procedure when working with clients to report on the performance of Ultra eco®. This process includes the capture of half-hourly data, identification of variables, analysis, benchmarking and metering. The performance criteria is agreed with the client prior to installation resulting in a Cost Value Proposal and energy saving report which details the calculations, return on investment, financial and carbon reduction savings the client will achieve.

Blue Carbon respects that fully understanding a client’s business is key to the successful implementation and return on investment of Ultra eco®. Blue Carbon work closely with some of the UK’s leading organisations from SMEs with significant electricity spends to large international corporates and local authorities that are looking to reduce their power consumption, energy costs and associated carbon emissions.

Blue Carbon also partners with energy service providers.

These include energy procurement and management specialists, facilities managers and mechanical and electrical engineers. A partnership with Blue Carbon enables direct clients and energy service providers to benefit from the added savings delivered by Ultra eco®, enhances their product and services portfolio and aligns them with innovative energy saving technology.

Join the energy reduction revolution now and use less power, save money and take the right steps to reducing your carbon footprint.
