New High Pressure Optical Pressure Casing Commissioned 

This newly located Cardiff University facility at ECM2, Port Talbot, consists of two major combustion rigs each designed for detailed investigation of combustion and emissions in gas turbines.  The rigs are designed for the study of different facets of the combustion process and are operated at different pressures.
