Partners

HEKYOM is associated with the IPNO (Nuclear Physics Institute at Orsay, France) and has still relationship with the LIMSI-CNRS (Computer Sciences Laboratory for Mechanics and Engineering Sciences). HEKYOM has exclusive license rights for two patents and a simulation tool on thermo acoustic field.

Between 2004 and 2006, HEKYOM has worked with CNRS, Paris 6 University, IPNO, department of ESSONNE, OSEO and has developed prototypes of thermo acoustic refrigerator and wave generator. From 2006, HEKYOM has been partner of state-granted programs as European FP7 Energy program THATEA and ANR TACSOL, and has also worked for companies such as GDFSUEZ, EDF, IFP and some confidential other ones.

1- THE INSTITUT NÉEL, is a laboratory for fundamental research in condensed matter physics, enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology. The activity is organized into three strongly interacting scientific Departments, and comprising twenty research teams and eighteen technological groups. It explore a vast field of science: superconductivity, quantum fluids, new materials, crystallography, surface science, quantum nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, nonlinear and quantum optics, spintronics, magnetism… The Institut Néel has exceptional expertise in advanced technology.

The Institut Néel is a laboratory linked primarily with CNRS (UPR2940) that provides the majority of its permanent staff, particularly with its divisions Institute of Physics, Institute of Chemistry and Institute for Engineering and Systems Sciences. It has also tight and long-standing links with the local universities Joseph Fourier and Grenoble-INP (Grenoble Institute of Technology). It benefits from the strong local links with the CEA and the large European neutron and X-Ray facilities: ILL and ESRF.

THE “SERVICE ETUDES ET REALISATION D’APPAREILLAGES SCIENTIFIQUES” (SERAS) IS A TECHNOLOGICAL FACILITY OF THE INSTITUT NEEL.

The service is composed of a design office and a workshop. It is equipped with CATIA V5 CAD software, finite elements software, CNC machining and a Zeiss Coordinate Measuring Machine. It steps in national or European instrumentation projects. Within the scope of a quality approach, SERAS has implemented, a few years ago, a technical data management tool with a view to organize, to archive and to manage the digital models life cycle. It concerns all the technical and administrative documentation files of the service.

For the Space TRIPS project, SERAS is involved in the second work package devoted to the loop experiment. SERAS will be in charge of the design of the thermo-acoustic loop and the MHD module.

The IPUL has the capability to be engaged in important project taking advantage of the 90 employees, researchers, engineers, technician and secretaries. It is then the most important structure working in MHD in Europe and may be in the world.

AREVA is a world leader in nuclear power and has a unique integrated model from uranium mining to reactor design and related services to used nuclear fuel recycling.
AREVA is also a major player in renewable energies.
As far nuclear power is needed, AREVA is able to provide solution and technologies
AREVA TA is a subsidiary of AREVA. It belongs to the Reactors & Services Business Group, as the Research and Propulsion Reactors Business Unit. TA is involved in the field of space power systems for more than ten years, as well for radio-isotopic technologies than space reactors.
