Project Director, Syn Dynamics gmbH, R&D and commercialization of the PHP technology

START Date: 
April, 2008

October, 2011

 

Syn Dynamics GmbH is a Swiss based clean-tech R&D company founded to develop and commercialize the PHP technology, which is an alternative method for synthetic gas production. PHP technology is a plasma based CO2 conversion gasifier system for Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plants. I directed the R&D program. Following the success of the proof of concept tests, I have conceived, engineered, and built a test reactor in London laboratory, in order to test and define the factors that impact the efficiency of the system. As a result of the success of the tests with this reactor Syn Dynamics set a R&D Joint Venture with Queensland University of Technology (QUT, Australia). Since I was not able to move Australia due to family reasons, as the program director, I focused on the commercialization of the project and sought and applied for green-grants and venture capital funds, worldwide, in order to finance the project and to facilitate the research and development under the joint venture with the QUT.
