Member news Buss Energy takes stake in drone specialist Aero Enterprise
The Buss Energy Group from Hamburg has taken a strategic stake of 24.9% in Aero Enterprise GmbH from Linz. The Austrian company has been operating inspection flights on onshore and offshore wind turbines with self-developed flying robots since 2013. The drones are based on helicopter technology and can be used even at high wind speeds. This is particularly relevant at sea where the weather conditions are a frequent obstacle. Also, long flight times of the drones are a great advantage especially for offshore use.
Buss Energy’s professional sales structures and many years of operational experience in the wind sector will help to further establish our technology on the market.

The high-resolution image data is evaluated by using the in-house developed AERO-Software Package. Damage detection and classification is largely automated with the support of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The subsequent automation of data transfer to the customer’s software environment and the automatically generated reports enable efficient and objective reporting on the condition of the wind turbines and potential repairs needed.

New testing method to detect and manage microbiological contamination
FUELSTAT® from Conidia Bioscience is a rapid onsite test to detect microbiological contamination in middle distillate aviation and diesel fuels compliant to ASTM D8070. Using antibody technology FUELSTAT® only searches for specific fuel degrading microbes, ignoring others that may be present but cause no harm to fuel systems. This greatly reduces the risk of cross contamination, a major issue with traditional testing methods. FUELSTAT® also provides greater adherence to ASTM D6469 enabling organisations to make more efficient and cost-effective operational decisions; especially when working in remote areas. Simple to use and completed onsite in 15 minutes FUELSTAT® comes with a free to use digital app, FUELSTAT® Result, for immediate verification, recording and sharing of results anytime, anywhere.
