    "MotorCarbon was established in Dayton, OH in 1993 with the objective of developing low-cost carbon mesophase materials and a process to mass-produce pre-formed, near-net-shape engine parts made of pure carbon. The principles of MotorCarbon understand the technological aspect of distilling inexpensive slurry oil into petroleum pitch, from which high-value mesophase is derived. Their experience with experimental and mass volume petroleum products, material extraction techniques and carbon research is extensive. MotorCarbon has been awarded several research contracts with the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy as well as engine manufacturers. During the years of development work, it became apparent that, once small carbon parts can be mass-produced cost effectively, virtually every industry would use carbon as their choice material, with an unfathomable market potential..MotorCarbon is a materials development company focused on engineering new processes to convert slurry oil, a common petroleum by-product, into an advanced technology carbon material. The resulting product, Meso-C™ can be utilized as a precursor for high stiffness carbon fibers for aircraft and automobiles, extremely conductive carbon foams for cooling electronics, and revolutionary new 3D printing powders for temperature-stable lightweight parts. MotorCarbon is bringing carbon into everyday life.MotorCarbon’s objective is to create ways to leverage oil as a component of building products versus burning it as bunker fuel. Traditionally, refineries dispose of their slurry oil waste stream as dirty bunker fuel for ocean-going ships. Starting 1 January 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will restrict sulfur content in bunker fuels to less than 0.5% m/m (mass by mass), down from previous regulations limiting it to 3.5% m/m. As a result, refineries will have to adjust or look for alternatives to selling slurry as fuel. MotorCarbon has the solution."

    For almost 50 years, James Walker Devol has strived to offer customers innovative solutions through our vast experience in thermoplastic engineering. At James Walker Devol we do not simply manufacture components to customer specification – we work in tandem with customers to identify and analyse areas where we think our materials could offer both performance improvements and cost savings. About UsWe have developed specific engineering teams who possess an intimate knowledge of our customer’s applications across various industries and sectors. These teams provide a complete project management service – including intensive on-site value engineering analyses and bespoke solutions designed to meet the exact needs of our customers. Bespoke manufacturing facilities also mean James Walker Devol has complete control of the manufacturing process – from the material casting through to the finished machined components. Using the most modern equipment, James Walker Devol can tailor make products on both small and large scales. We have the capacity to mould, cast and machine components from 10mm diameter to in excess of 2,000mm. Individual components can weigh up to 1,000kg each. We have invested heavily in materials development and testing, with specific laboratories for these purposes contained within our 8,200m facilities. As well as the capability to perform standard material tests, we have the flexibility and expertise to develop factory acceptance testing (FAT) as required. Whatever your requirements, James Walker Devol will ensure that our products provide the optimum solution.
