SB2 Engineering & Partnerships

SB2 is a private enterprise focused on providing energy efficiency advancements and solutions for selected clients, with new technologies for electricity generation, thermal energy management and industrial water treatment systems, as well as the latest financing models to support investments for a Clean Tech industry scenario.

Beyond that, SB2 also develops strategic partnerships with initiatives currently looking for new business frontiers related to their core business with a worldwide vision.

As innovation has become critical for many companies, SB2 is able to design and provide an extensive range of solutions and advancements, aimed especially to reduce their cost of energy based in higher levels of efficiency... Generally, we believe in achieving that through performing a deep analyses of the client's energy usage (especially electricity and heat), understanding their daily processes and implementing a set of measures which will result on a much lower cost of energy.

Technological advances at work for higher efficiency!

There are many excellent reasons for letting SB2 to develop and manage your energy efficiency or generation project, as well as your water treatment project!

These are just some:

"Obtaining a higher level of efficiency"

Searching for the best fitted solution

Performing a deep analyses, SB2 can offer the right solution for your growing demand of energy and, at the same time, save money lowering the overall cost of this item.

"Generating energy with a new approach"

New technologies for the energy sector

Today's technologies are much better and based on a new approach: the consumer must generate its own energy... SB2 will show how to do this!

"Increasing reliability with proven technologies"

Stay away from power shortages or failuries

Dependability and trust are the required characteristics of a safe energy system... With SB2's solutions, your plant will achieve the highest level of both.

"Getting into the sustainable energy markets"

Commitment with the environment protection.

Whereas a company needs energy now, SB2 will look for the best "tailor made" solution and will apply the principles which gives a chance of a better life to new generations.

"Avoiding losses with heat recovery"

Where is an energy need there are ways to improve performance in the cycle.

SB2's technicians are well prepared to search for ways to improve the level of energetic efficiency keeping the cycle as closed as possible, thus allowing the lowest loss possible.

"Keeping safety in high standards"

Being productive is directly related to being safe.

No matter the size of a challenge, preservation of lives and asset's protection is the key for any project... Our projects are made under this perspective... Always!

The B-Gen

Property rights of Brenmiller Energy

The B-Gen is a product of Brenmiller Energy, being a steam generator and an energy accumulator, where a storage media keeps the heat internally, delivering the needed industrial steam, hot water or hot air only when is required.

This equipment can be charged by a biomass burner (one of the most used energy sources in the World), electricity from the grid, recovered industrial heat or any other available source.

What it is:

Renewable Enabler – The B-Gen is an enabler for the utilization of alternative power generation systems, especially from renewable sources like the biomass burners, photovoltaic or wind farms, thus delivering steady industrial heat with reduced CO2 emissions.

Savings – The B-Gen has become a significant savings method through allowing the switch of energy sources from expensive to cheaper ones, always considering the a much faster Return of Investment (ROI).

Flexibility – This equipment can accept a wide range of charging input temperatures, from 350°C up to 750°C.

Efficiency – By decoupling between the charging cycle from the continuous biomass burner source and the energy delivery in different time slots of the process’s requests during the day, overall efficiency is significantly increased.

Lifetime – The storage media applied to this equipment enables tens of thousands of charge/discharge cycles with no performance degradation and a lifetime of 30 years with no storage media replacement whatsoever.

Modularity – Multiple units can be utilized to fit the client's needs anytime, including the growth on energy demand and planned increases.

No Hazardous – The B-Gen assures “Zero Emissions”, once the storage media does not include any aggressive material to the environment and do not carry any special chemical material or toxic substances inside.

Heat Losses – The internal storage losses are less than 3% in a 24 h time period, which is extremally low.

Automation level – The B-Gen unit is fully automatic and operated through a software communication protocol. No special local workers are required for operating the system. A special monitoring screen for control of the unit is supplied together with a mobile app. Hardware items of the system do not require any preventive or periodic maintenance.

The equipment B-Gen is delivered through many different alternatives, either as a regular sale or through an ESCO model, where SB2 can become a investor with or without the client as a partner, lowering the needed CAPEX, also maintaining and operating the B-Gen.

The AirPower Jet Turbine

Property rights of AirPower Technologies

This technology can provide large scale, high power density, fixed or mobile, clean electricity generation, also with freshwater and cool air production

AirPower Jet Turbines can be used in industries, residential villages, shopping centers, supermarkets, airports, data centers, etc.

The equipment can be installed jointly with existing wind and solar PV farms, sharing the same substations and generating much more continuous combined and reliable power throughout the year, day and night.

AirPowerJet Turbines also provide clean energy and freshwater for isolated places... In single or multiple configurations they can also use any available source of wasted heat.

These turbine sets range from 300KW up to 5,0MW and can be installed easily in Diesel-Electric locomotives (reducing as much as 30% of diesel consumption and CO2 emissions), al well as on hybrid or electric trucks and buses... Another application can be done on hybrid and electric ships and/or in offshore oil and gas platforms.

How it works:

In the AirPowerJet Turbine set, a large mass of ambient air is continuously aspirated, compressed, heated and then accelerated in a converging duct, reaching speeds up to Mach 0,9 (1.200km/h) at the end of the duct. This airflow with a very high kinetic energy hits a specially designed turbine, using a proprietary AirPower technology. The turbine is linked to an electric permanent magnet generator, and the air impact and kinetic energy conversion in the turbine generate clean electric power. Sequentially, the low-speed air is extracted from the turbine and sent back to the atmosphere... In the process, the air gets very cold and condensates its contained water moisture, producing significant quantities of condensed water and cool air for refrigeration and cooling purposes.

AirPowerJet Turbines have a very high capacity and efficiency factor (over 90-92%), running continuously 365 days/yr, being specially suited to be operated with solar panels (photovoltaic installations) and thermal batteries like the B-Gen (TM).

A complete family of AirPowerJet Turbines are designed and functional from 300KW up to 5,0MW.

The AirPower Jet turbines can be provided directly to suit the client's energy generation needs (delivered in a EPC like model) or also supplied under an ESCO business model, where SB2 can become a investor with or without the client as a partner, lowering the needed CAPEX, also maintaining and operating the electricity generation plant and managing the entire business together with him.
