    Introducing Will Arnold, a Graduate Mechanical Engineer from the University of New South Wales who joined the team at Bruce Energy in July 2023! Will holds degrees in Engineering (Mechanical) and Science (Physics). Since joining us, he has been applying his expertise to everything from conceptual design and heat exchangers to CAD modelling and piping isometrics. He has also been instrumental in operating our biochar test reactor and even developed an alternative cooling system for it. Before Bruce Energy, Will sharpened his skills at CSIRO, focusing on thermal modelling. He has also a diverse background, having worked as a guitar teacher, landscaper, and disability support worker—roles that highlight his ability to simplify complex ideas, work independently, and handle responsibility with ease. We are lucky to have someone as versatile and dedicated as Will on our team. Here is to many successful projects ahead! #Engineering #MechanicalEngineering #Physics #TeamBruceEnergy #UNSWAlumni

    We're excited to highlight our ongoing collaboration with Waste Circology since 2020, focused on revolutionising waste management. Their patented Organic Carbonisation System (OCS) is a groundbreaking closed, low emission process that converts organic waste into rich char-carbon. Bruce Energy has played a pivotal role in designing and constructing the first-ever OCS100 Test Reactor, utilising cost-effective, off-the-shelf components to ensure efficiency and reduced project risk. As we continue to operate and demonstrate the OCS Test Reactor's capabilities, we are nearing the completion of the commercial version, with plans to launch both in Australia and globally. #Innovation #Sustainability #WasteManagement #WasteCircology #BruceEnergy
