RJM International offers its sincere condolences to The Royal Family and would like to thank Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for a lifetime of exemplary service. As one of the winners of The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise: Innovation in 2017, the company is especially grateful to have been honoured personally by The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
RJM has won the overall “Business of the Year” and “Large Business of the Year” in the annual Winchester Business Excellence Awards 2025. Against stiff competition, RJM has repeated “the double” of winning the same two categories as it did back in 2015. Commenting on the spectacular win, John Goldring, Managing Director of RJM said, “We are delighted to have been honoured with these awards. “Our people are working extremely hard to help our power generation customers in the UK and the rest of the world reduce their carbon footprints while serving their populations with affordable electricity. Well done to the whole RJM team!”, he added.
At a meeting of all the parties held in Kosovo on Thursday 22nd May 2025, the EU Contracting Authority has confirmed that a consortium headed up by Engineering Dobersek of Germany, supported by RJM International of the UK and Wallstein Rothemühle of Poland will carry out the de-NOx and de-dust project on both units of 680 MWe lignite-fired Kosovo B power station.

Do you want to help power producers transition to net zero? Thanks to growing demand worldwide for our range of combustion improvement and emissions reduction technologies, we’re seeking new skilled experts to join our team: Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4205095971/?capColoOverride=true Senior Project Manager: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4205098695/?capColoOverride=true Senior Design Engineer: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4205304770/?capColoOverride=true .
RJM announces today that it has secured a major project to supply new combustion technology, including CFD combustion analysis and ultra-low NOx gas burners to upgrade a power plant in Spain. The two unit, 922MW Aboño power plant is located near Gijon, Asturias in Northern Spain and currently fires a mix of coal and Blast Furnace Gas (BFG) sourced from a nearby steelworks. The project is for Unit 2 to cease firing coal and for it to be converted to fire a blend of natural gas, BFG and, later on, hydrogen. In environmental terms, the conversion of Unit 2 will reduce emissions of particulates and sulphur oxides by almost 100% and nitrogen oxides by 80%. In terms of CO2 emissions, the average reduction will be 30%, depending on the volume of BFG being co-fired. An additional environmental benefit is that by utilising BFG as a second fuel, a further one million tonnes of CO2 emissions will be avoided. RJM will be supplying 30 new low NOx gas burners to replace the existing coal burners, and 12 conversion kits to allow the BFG pilot burners to fire natural gas. RJM’s scope also includes detailed CFD studies of the furnace and combustion air systems to ensure that the new fuel mix will not impact negatively on MW output, reliability or efficiency. Supporting power generators of all types – no matter what the fuel, the combustion technology or the size of the plant – and enabling them to transition to lower carbon generation is a key part of RJM’s global strategy. The driving force is to deliver exceptional improvements in performance across every plant parameter, making enduring changes that are efficient, reliable and cost-effective. Commenting on the project win, John Goldring, Managing Director of RJM said, “We know our track record of successfully completing similarly complex power plant upgrade projects and coal to gas conversions stood us in good stead with the customer and we are delighted to be working with Wood and Duro Felguera on this major contract. “Looking ahead, we aim to develop further emissions reduction and decarbonisation projects on coal-to-gas conversions of other utility boilers in Europe, the USA and the rest of world,” he confirmed. Work is well underway on the project and it is planned that the upgrade will be completed by July 2025. -ENDS- Notes for Editors: The Aboño plant selected Wood, the global engineering consultancy and industrial boiler OEM (from their Foster Wheeler heritage), to source the most suitable technology provider to upgrade the plant and deliver the most appropriate solution to enable the plant to carry out the conversion, under an award to Duro Felguera as the main EPC contractor. Following a complex tendering process and submissions by a number of multi-national burner technology companies, Wood short-listed and then selected RJM to deliver its innovative combustion and emissions solution to the Aboño plant.

Having recently won a number of significant power plant performance upgrade projects, RJM announces today that it is currently working on power plants across South-East Asia and Australia. For these plants which have a combined output in excess of 10,000MW, RJM is delivering a range of innovative products, services and performance solutions to help them meet the latest emissions legislation, improve combustion performance, improve fuel flexibility and enhance operational reliability and efficiency. Most South-East Asian countries have committed to reduce the intensity of their carbon emissions and fully decarbonise by 2050. The work RJM is doing in these countries is supporting this drive to decarbonisation, through making coal-fired power plants operate more efficiently and also through exploring how power plants can be converted to co-fire biomass with coal, both of which reduce carbon emissions. In Australia, as the continent adopts its Net Zero Plan, the immediate requirement for power plants is to meet the forthcoming tightening up of NOx emissions while maintaining combustion performance, and RJM will be applying its proven low NOx technologies to facilitate this reduction in NOx emissions. Commenting on these major successes in Asia-Pacific, John Goldring, Managing Director of RJM International said, “The projects that we are winning across the region confirm our commitment to delivering the energy transition and our capability to work with generators – no matter what the fuel, the firing technology or the size of the plant. “We are confident that our innovative approach to solving complex combustion and emissions challenges is just as relevant to other power plants in Asia-Pacific as they seek to improve performance, meet tightening emissions regulations and deliver on their decarbonisation strategies. “Whilst much of the focus in the energy sector today is rightly on renewables – which RJM is promoting and contributing to – all these countries need to maintain an efficient and versatile thermal-fired generation capability to deliver reliable baseload power that is clean and affordable during this important energy transition to cleaner energy supplies,” he confirmed.
