DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANT AND ITS ACTIVITIES:

 TTA is an engineering business focused on technology in the energy transition sector. It currently has two principal operating divisions within its group of companies; Diffusion Alloys and GreenSpur. TTA acts as the holding company for the Group, provides strategic and operational support to the operating companies and also capital to enable their growth.

 

Diffusion Alloys

Diffusion Alloys has been supplying diffusion coating services for over sixty years and is one of only a small handful of companies offering specialist expertise in this area.  During the period 2015 – 2023, Diffusion Alloys undertook a strategic shift which initially involved spinning off its legacy gas turbine business and focusing on clean technology applications. When the legacy business was unable to continue in operation, the former Hatfield site was closed and several key furnaces were relocated to an expanded Middlesbrough site whilst retaining critical diffusion coating expertise for the growing demand from clean technology customers.

 

Diffusion Alloys has two revenue streams; coating services and coating technology:

 

• Coating services encompass a range of diffusion coatings aimed at enhancing the properties of the components for improved performance and durability. This service involves plant-heavy work, supplying to volume customers.

 

• Coating technology focuses on selling the Company’s know-how and cultivating early stage revenue opportunities that include compound sales, early-stage coating development work, licensing, equipment sales and laboratory services.

 

GreenSpur

GreenSpur is an intellectual property owner and generator designer that has developed a pioneering topology supporting the global energy transition by providing a credible solution in renewable energy applications to the rare earth magnet problem.

 

GreenSpur’s generator design eliminates the need for Rare Earth magnets and copper coils without any loss in electrical performance, making this technology the conduit between any type of Rare Earth-free magnet and the renewable energy market.

 

GreenSpur’s direct drive generator design is based around an axial flux architecture, as opposed to the more conventional radial flux architecture used in most motors and generators in the wind market. This technology demonstrates a new approach to electrical power generation overcoming historic manufacturing and design issues with axial-flux which some competitors (including wind industry original equipment manufacturers) have previously been unable to solve.
