Hydro Group plcHydro Group is a specialist in the research, design and manufacture of subsea and harsh environment electrical and optical connectors, penetrators, cables, assemblies and terminations. With 30 years experience, Hydro Group is a market leader in providing solutions for subsea applications in domestic and international industries including marine renewable energies, oil and gas, oceanographic and defence.

Being first in the development of any innovative product is always challenging but the lessons learned can provide extremely rewarding results. Hydro Group Renewable Connector (HRC) is the first dry mate 12 kV subsea connector dedicated to the marine renewable energies industry. The connector is qualified by DNV and has a design life of 25 years. The HRC design has incorporated over 250 mate/de-mate cycles and has been tested electrically to its maximum limits. Four of the HRCs have been installed on the Wave Hub project off the coast of Cornwall, UK. All of the preparation for the connector and cable termination is carried out onshore allowing the reduction of mate and de-mate times of wave and tidal devices from days to hours bringing considerable cost savings to such projects.

During the extensive 12kV qualification programme the research highlighted potential additional development areas which have been integrated into other products such as 22kV dry mate and 34kV hybrid wet-mate connectors. Each product is different, each customer specification is unique. Hydro Group’s products and services are unique, with design application solutions provided by our in-house engineering team whose sole purpose is to develop a fit for purpose solution to suit customers’ individual requirements and budgets.


Hydrus LtdHydrus is a north east based engineering firm offering an extensive range of expert manufacturing services and engineering solutions to the energy industries from carbon steel fabrication through to the design and build of bespoke structures/products for use in the offshore, subsea and renewable energy markets.

• Design engineering and manufacturing

• Project management

• Test and assembly services

• Carbon steel fabrication

• Stainless steel, aluminium and other exotic metals fabrication

• UHP water jet cutting

• Onshore/offshore technical services

As part of Hydrus’ continuing commercial expansion our recently opened Brechin facility services our clients with 22,000 sq ft of workspace complete with extensive overhead crane-age. This not only enables Hydrus to provide our clients with a greater scope of fabrication and engineering services inc. larger-scale manufacturing, full test and assembly capabilities and significant internal/external storage for client equipment etc, but will also provide higher capacity for undertaking a greater number of projects at any one time in conjunction with our existing Dyce facility.

Hydrus’ keen attention to client detail and ability to react quickly and efficiently to client demand has resulted in the company building up strong relationships with many major energy players in Aberdeen and beyond – an achievement that Hydrus is extremely proud of.

Hydrus recognises the importance of developing renewable energy projects across the UK and beyond and therefore is delighted to be part of AREG, which provides the opportunity to liaise/work with similarly minded businesses to help the growth of the renewable energy industry throughout Scotland.

Our capabilities extend across the spectrum of microbiology and embrace many industries.

The microbiologists, chemists, geologists and engineers who made up the team – all experts in their field – are integral to our work for clients in more than 20 countries around the world.

Our expertise and services include:

• Consultancy (e.g. offshore audits; microbial influenced corrosion (MIC), modelling and prediction, contamination and failure prediction, chemical treatment)

• Production biochemistry (biocide evaluation and efficacy, biofilm studies, bioremediation, molecular microbiology, treatment regime)

• Health and hygiene (potable water management, legionella management, environmental management)

• Diesel testing (quality control)

Langlee Wave PowerLanglee Wave Power is an energy developer with innovative technology to harness power from waves.

Established in 2006, Langlee designed its Wave Energy Converter with a floating steel structure and lightweight water wings. The technology has been built to a North Sea oil and gas industry specification of 60 years in the most hostile marine environments.

Offering a more flexible and efficient system, Wave Energy Converters can be quickly installed and easily maintained. They lap up wave movement through the water wings which move in opposite directions providing optimal power efficiency which is converted into electricity through generators.

A unique mooring system based on tried and tested fish farming technology allows easy installation, whether for single or multiple units.

The 50kw E1 Wave Energy Converter has been designed to be scaled up into an array which can provide several megawatts of power.

An array featuring 20 E1 units would provide 1 MW which would produce 4 GWh per year, enough to power around 1,000 homes.

The E1, which measures 15 x 15 meters and weighs 70 tonnes, is ideal for small island communities which are facing energy challenges.

Langlee has agreements in place with wave site developers and utility companies in locations around the globe including Turkey and New Zealand, and is building links in the UK which it views as an important market.

The Moray CouncilThe local authority area includes the port of Buckie located on the south side of the Moray Firth and a number of businesses that could provide highly skilled engineering and fabrication services to the offshore renewable industry.

The Beatrice Demonstrator turbines in the Moray Firth are currently serviced from Buckie Harbour which is home to successful manufacturing, ship-building, boat repair, cargo handling and fishing businesses. The presence of two MOD bases in the area also provides a steady flow of skills into the local labour market that are well suited to the offshore renewable industry. The traditional fishing industry associated with the ports of Moray also brings a wealth of knowledge and skills in skippering and seafaring. The area is well located being within one hour’s drive of both Inverness and Aberdeen and around three hours from Edinburgh and Glasgow.
