and the commitment to pursue it...
Mr James Kwok
CPEng; FIEAust; MCMechE; FAIM; NPER1; Chartered Professional Engineer and Fellow Institution of Engineers Australia.
Mr James Kwok is the inventor/technologist of numerous world patents pending including vortexodial turbine for wind energy; vortexodial turbine for wave energy; PortalGen and Solar-Prism for solar PV. James Kwok has been granted with nine Innovation Patents 2004100467-475, all with multiple commercial applications for various mechanical-components and systems used in low-emissions coal gasification plants and Fluidised Bed Combustion (FBC) Reactors. James Kwok holds the granted Patents for the commercially ready technology, hydrodynamic-cycle for deep water pressure energy conversion technology (Hidro+™). In 2008 Professor Ion Boldea of Politehnica University, Romania joined as a co-developer in Hidro+’s multi-module tower linear electric generator (MTLEG) technology, currently world patent pending the Hidro+ MTLEG is a joint patent between James Kwok and Professor Ion Boldea. |
During the 80’s James Kwok was the senior project planner and project manager, leading teams of engineers on major heavy engineering project for CMPS&F, then Australia's largest consulting engineering organization with over 2000 engineers.
During the 90’s to 2000, James Kwok owned engineering and construction firm Energy Equipment (EE Power Systems), conducting commercial project deployments and research and development in renewable energy technologies, leading teams on many projects including Fluidized-Bed Reactor as proprietary Technology (FBR) using CO2 gas-recycling to control high temperatures projects. The FBR large steam generator plants (up to 25t/h) use lignite as fuel, these plants are in commercial operation throughout Australia for major industries, such as the 1993 plant built for Joe White Malting in Tamworth, NSW. In 1995 James Kwok designed and built a 30,000Nm3/hr commercial low-emission coal gasification plant using lignite (brown-coal) fuel, completed in Henan Province PRChina for State owned Steel company, Lou Yang Heavy Machineries. This plant is still in commercial operation producing gas for steel works furnaces and high quality (de-sulphurize gas) for households town gas; other plants include in 1996 a commercial plant using 25t/d waste-water treatments sludge as feedstock, part of a bio-diesel production plant for Waste Management Authority at Subiaco Waste Water Works, in Western Australia. This FBR technology was also tested as being suitable for low emission coal liquefaction process using high moisture low calorific value brown coal/lignite.
In 1998 James Kwok initiated and co-developed with Prof Dr Udo Hellwig of ERK Germany the unique integrated 'shell-tubes' rated at 35t/h superheated steam generator at T400degC and P40barg to power 7MWt steam-turbine which was incorporated in the EE Power Systems proprietary and patented Fluidized-Bed Reactor Technology (FBR). The FBR processes includes low-temperature gasification followed by high-temperature combustion, commercially verified by independent experts as meeting the world's best practice for power generation using either fossils and organic materials such as biomass, coal and lignite (brown coal).
In 1999 James Kwok designed and completed a large-scale (5MWe) biomass (70,000 t/yr garden pruning waste) renewable power plant. This plant includes a specially designed and commercially completed 25m high FBR-boiler rated at 35t/h and T400degC constructed as an embedded generator for an Industrial complex in South East Queensland, Australia. In 2001 this plant was granted with Australia’s first renewable energy generation and transmission license and renewable energy certification from the Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO in Canberra). In 2002 this plant was successfully commissioned with independent experts verifications from GHD Black and Veatch; Burns Roe Worley; Sinclair Knight Mertz to meet designed performances and emissions abatements.
James Kwok was granted with Tasmania’s first generation and transmission license granted and issued by the Office of Tasmanian Electricity Regulator in the State of Tasmania, Australia; the first renewable energy generation and transmission license granted and issued by Western Power in the State of Western Australia; and subsequent 20-100MW capacity projects permits granted and issued in the State of Victoria.
James Kwok is a Member of the Australian College of Mechanical Engineers, the Panel of the Australian National Registered Professional Engineers and on the panel of Chartered Assessment with the Institution of Engineers Australia. |
