Your Owner’s Engineer from concept through to site commissioning
Fractional engineering and project management for founders building pyrolysis, gasification and anaerobic digestion facilities, embedded in your team from concept through to design and commissioning.
End-to-End Engineering for Bio-Carbon Assets
Stage 1
Concept & Process Architecture
Turning early lab data and high level ideas into bankable process designs and mass/energy balances.
- Mass & Energy Balances: Rigorous thermodynamic modeling for pyrolysis, gasification, and activation.
- Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs): Standardising continuous feed, reaction, gas cleanup, and product handling.
- Feedstock Characterisation: Auditing ash chemistry, silica, moisture, and slagging potential.
- Site Layout Optimisation: Engineering spatial arrangements for material flow and safety setbacks.
Stage 2
Reactor Selection & Vendor Due Diligence
Unbiased, vendor neutral technology evaluation to ensure you buy equipment that matches your feedstock, project goals, and budget.
- Reactor Technology Selection: Independent assessment of rotary kilns, fluid beds, and augers.
- OEM & Manufacturer Validation: Auditing technology suppliers to verify actual throughput claims.
- Specification & Procurement: Drafting technical specs for bid packages (reactors, driers, shredders).
- Auxiliary Equipment Integration: Sizing syngas burners, bio-oil condensers, and gas scrubbers.
Stage 3
Detailed Design & Site Delivery
Acting as your Owner’s Engineer during detail engineering, procurement, and physical plant construction.
- Owner’s Engineering: Representing your interests against EPC contractors and equipment vendors.
- P&ID & HAZOP Reviews: Process safety reviews and hazard identification for thermal systems.
- Onsite Execution & Supervision: Technical governance during equipment installation and piping layout.
- Commissioning Support: Cold/hot commissioning management and acceptance testing oversight.
Stage 4
Operational Optimisation & Expansion
Post-commissioning troubleshooting to resolve bottlenecks, boost yield, and improve plant uptime.
- Tar & Syngas Troubleshooting: Eliminating tar condensation and gas cleanup bottlenecks.
- Slagging & Fouling Diagnostics: Resolving reactor clinkering and high-temperature fouling issues.
- Throughput Debottlenecking: Increasing daily biochar/bio-oil yield without exceeding thermal limits.
- Operational Standardisation: Standardising SOPs, operator training, and quality control.
A design flaw caught on paper costs thousands.
A design flaw caught in the field costs millions.
