Novacab TESS thermal energy storage equipment
LEADERSHIP · The Alliance Behind the Platform

Inventors, not
integrators.

This is not only a technology presentation — it is an association. The people who invented the RPC, the SRU practice and Novacab TESS are the people delivering the project. That is why an authorised Sidel CREN deployment is not the same as a copy of one.

The alliance

Four organisations.
One accountable solution.

There are competitors for each individual component. The distinction here is the integration: a proven flue-gas condenser, an authorised particulate-capture technology, and thermal energy salvage, storage and conversion — brought together as one U.S.–India platform with protected IP and a single point of accountability.

United States

Sidel Systems USA

The SRU flue-gas condensing economizer and heat-recovery platform. More than 100 major commercial and industrial clients served, with condensing technology in the field since 1978.

Led by Sid Abma, CEO

Founded by Dr. Stephane Bilodeau, Eng., Ph.D., FEC
Carbon Resilient Energy NEXUS, Inc. — DBA Sidel CREN

The cross-border model: U.S. commercialisation, India relationships and manufacturing/distribution development, integrated engineering delivery, disciplined IP protection, project financing support, and measured deployment discipline.

The people

Who you are actually
doing business with.

Dr. Stephane Bilodeau, Eng., Ph.D., FEC
Inventor of Novacab TESS
Smart Phases Inc. / Novacab

Professional Engineer and Ph.D. in Energy and Advanced Thermodynamics. Fellow of Engineers Canada and former President of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec. Inventor and developer of patented thermal energy storage and energy management technologies — including the award-winning IBM Bromont PCM/TES project and the Novacab TESS generations that followed.

★ Inventor — TESS
Sid Abma
CEO, Sidel Systems USA
Flue-gas condensing & heat recovery

More than 40 years in flue-gas condenser, heat-exchanger and waste-heat recovery practice. Sidel Systems USA has served more than 100 major commercial and industrial clients — including E&J Gallo — and offers the SRU flue-gas condensing economizer as a practical heat-recovery and boiler-efficiency platform.

★ 40+ years in the field
Parthosarathy Mukherji
Inventor of the RPC
CTO, SAI-DEL / Sidel Systems India

Inventor of the Rotating Particulate Collector — the missing particulate-capture pillar for coal, wood, biomass, municipal waste, fuel oil and other particulate-heavy exhaust streams. Protecting his intellectual property is what protects clients from unsupported copies and incomplete implementations.

★ Inventor — RPC
Rahul Bohra
Chairman, SAI-DEL / Sidel Systems India
India commercial leadership

India-side commercial leader with deep relationships across commercial and industrial ventures. His role connects the alliance to credible Indian customers, government interfaces, industrial decision-makers, and the manufacturing and distribution path required to deliver national-scale benefit.

Michael Logan
President & Chairman, Sidel CREN
Carbon Resilient Energy NEXUS, Inc.

More than 20 years in specialty engineering, energy technology commercialisation, operations, business development, distribution channels, licensed manufacturing strategies and sustainable development. Former COO for Dr. Bilodeau at Smart Phases. Focused on translating technology potential into market-ready programmes and executable cross-border commercialisation.

Marc Thomas
Chief Engineer, Sidel CREN
Carbon Resilient Energy NEXUS, Inc.

Engineering lead for site analysis, energy/water/economic modelling, client-facing engineering packages and practical deployment logic. His role is to convert the alliance story into disciplined, site-specific engineering and measurement.

"The business benefits of climate action are clear. Companies that align their strategy with climate science — and quickly integrate low-carbon solutions — are best placed to thrive in a net-zero economy."

Why it matters commercially

Authorised deployment
is a client protection.

Unauthorised copies of this technology exist. They create real client risk, because a copy cannot deliver the IP-safe engineering stack, the warranty accountability, or the integrated deployment methodology behind it.

📜

Protected IP

The RPC, the SRU platform and Novacab TESS are original technologies held by their inventors — not white-labelled hardware.

🛡️

Warranty accountability

One integrated project architecture means one party responsible for the outcome, not a chain of component vendors.

📐

Full engineering stack

Site analysis, thermal mapping, measurement and verification, and deployment methodology travel with the equipment.
