Griffon Hoverwork
Worldwide leader in the design & manufacture of hovercraft
Griffon Hoverwork Ltd (GHL) is at the forefront of hovercraft development and has been involved in the manufacture and operation of hovercraft since they were first conceived, over 50 years ago. Their customers “fly” Griffon hovercraft in all 5 continents and we support over 200 GHL craft in over 41 countries.
Owned and supported by the Bland Group, the company has achieved strong growth. Griffon relocated their main manufacturing facility from Hythe to Merlin Quay, Southampton UK at the beginning of 2011, in order to increase manufacturing capacity. They now use lean techniques to design and manufacture high quality hovercraft for practical applications.
In the commercial role, Griffon hovercraft are used around the globe for:
Griffon hovercraft are also in use by those responsible for national security and military operations, missions include:
All Griffon Hoverwork hovercraft are designed to meet exacting engineering standards and the larger vessels are often classified to Lloyds Registry standards (or other chosen standards). Their processes and quality management system is certified to ISO 9001; and they are continually developing their approach to provide products with even higher standards of robustness, reliability, availability, performance and with improved value for money.
Griffon take great pride in meeting and exceeding performance criteria. Medium and large craft can operate at speeds in excess of 55 knots but we advise this to be outside of a safe working envelope and therefore specify maximum speeds of 45 knots. The company knows the performance criteria they specify can be achieved; and they can prove this theoretically and through real life application, in over thousands of operating hours.
Griffon Hoverwork design and manufacture hovercraft of varying payloads and application requirements. All craft can be offered in differing configurations to suit requirements, from passenger craft to open well decked cargo carrying craft. The companies extensive skills allow them to manufacture an array of vessels from wind farm support vessels to similar high speed craft – this is further underlined by our Griffon-Cougar ultra fast products.
Multi Flexi Fuel Micro Turbine Generators
The worldwide growing need to establish fuel sources other than petroleum has led to the development of various new engine technologies, mainly in the car industry. A multi-fuel engine is a fuel-burning device which is designed to burn multiple types of fuel in its operation. A flexi-fuel engine, however, is capable of balancing irregularities in the fuel composition. The Multi-Flexi Fuel Micro-Turbine Power Packs developed by MSE are a unique combination of the two engine types mentioned above. They are capable of using various fuel types as well as adjusting to fluctuations in the fuel composition.
The special air injection system of the micro-turbine pressurizes the otherwise low pressure system to a level which is sufficient for the engine injection and as there are no moving parts to cause fire sparks, the turbine can even use flare gas directly from natural sources.
The combustion chamber of the Multi-Flexi Fuel Turbine is designed to reach an extremely low NOx emission level, far below any regulation standards, whereas the CO2 emission is of such low temperature that it can actually be reabsorbed by nature. The average efficiency of standard turbines sold on the market today generally reaches approx. 30% and only surpass that number if equipped with a recuperator or water (steam)
injection system. The Multi-Flexi Fuel Turbine exceeds that rate.
With a rapid, ever swelling hunger for energy, the world is moving towards a decentralized power generation led by an increasing demand for flexible, efficient and small-scale solutions. While power generation from natural gas and intermittent renewable sources is on the rise, as well as the demand for recycling of waste oils and other liquid and gaseous fuels becomes a necessity, the use of industrial applications will increase and the competition to offer customers a full range of solutions will intensify. The TM Multi-Flexi Fuel Micro-Turbine Power Pack is the result of many years of intensive R&D work built on vast experience in the field of turbo-jet engines. The main objective was to find a power generator set that can be driven with a wide range of fuel types, liquid as well as gaseous, including synthetic and flare-off gases.
The unit is based on the turbo shaft engine TM-200. The engine consists of a radial compressor, a radial turbine and an annular combustion chamber. The low pressure ratio makes it possible to inject synthetic and flare gases under reasonable pressure. The injectors are designed to handle almost all known fuel types of which numerous have been successfully tested.

CTI Producer Water
Oman and most oil producing countries all have a similar problem, Produced Water in Oman for each barrel of Oil produced there are five to seven barrels of Produced Water. Produced Water is the water which comes out of the Oil Water Separators, it contains oil contaminated water but usually it also contains a mix of other toxic and non-toxic elements. This water has two uses, if required it has to be pumped back down to maintain well pressure, for this the trace oil should be removed, the suspended solids also have to be removed to save wear and tear on the pumps that have to pump it back down generally 1,750 meters or more so as not to contaminate the aquafer. If it does not have to be pumped down it has to be de-oiled, and cleaned to a minimum of WHO agricultural standard.
We have three proven technologies to treat this water:
Of them all we prefer to use the CCT as this will generally do most of the work required in an efficient modular way which can be expanded to take as much water as is produced. Also the water can be used for Agriculture or it can be further processed to potable water, water for steam Injection or any other use the client has. If the client has not got a use for the water we can then generate an Agricultural Project that will take all the water.
