Line 05 · Industrial Plants & Projects
Finding the real bottleneck costs a fraction of what an expansion costs. And when the expansion is genuinely needed, we design all of it—layout, process, mechanical, structural, electrical, and control—with one party accountable for the result.
FEL methodology
Each stage decides whether the next one is worth it.
The problem
You buy a new line and output does not rise, because the limit was in material handling, in the utilities, or at a transfer point nobody measured. That is exactly what engineering is for: to put the investment where the constraint actually is, and not where it is easiest to see.
How we structure a project
We work with the Front End Loading methodology: each stage closes with a deliverable and with a cost estimate more accurate than the one before it. Nobody commits the detailed-engineering budget before knowing whether the project holds up.
Concept definition, evaluation of alternatives and scenarios, block flow diagram, equipment list, and conceptual layout.
Class 5 cost estimateDesign basis, process flow diagrams, mass balances, equipment specification, and basic layout.
Class 4 cost estimateP&IDs and operating philosophy, final equipment specification, 3D models, and definition of plant utilities.
Class 3 cost estimateFinal 3D model, issued-for-construction designs and information, execution plan, and constructability.
Class 2 cost estimateThe disciplines
You talk to one person, not to four firms that blame each other when something does not fit during installation.
Models and digitalization
We simulate the process, the operation, and the flow before you commit to a purchase. And we capture the plant as it actually stands with a laser scanner, so the engineering starts from what is there and not from a drawing twenty years old.
Selected projects
Full development of the master plan for a plant designed to the EU-GMP standard. Technical assessment, definition of capacities and growth scenarios, conceptual, basic (FEED), and detailed engineering, general layout optimizing process, material, and personnel flows, sizing of critical utilities, mass and energy balance, technology selection, and support through commissioning.
Master plan for a facility that processes fuel for small-scale reactors, handling highly sensitive materials under extreme safety, traceability, and control requirements. Layout with security zones, mixing, pressing, encapsulation, and dispatch processes, continuous cooling systems, radiological contamination control, and decontamination protocols.
Pre-feasibility engineering to convey and discharge fines back into the process, with recirculation from cyclones and baghouses. 150 meters of pneumatic conveying with 40 meters of vertical lift, material handled at 140 °C, cooled screw conveyors, and reuse of the existing infrastructure, all in an active operating environment with restricted space.
Pre-feasibility study to install preheating, pneumatic conveying, and dosing of three fluxes in 5 t/h refining furnaces, with constraints on space, circulation, and maintenance access, and without interrupting operation. We evaluated alternatives and suppliers, and ran the technical and economic comparison of CAPEX and OPEX behind the choice.
Through a network of partners for specialized industrial equipment. We handle sourcing end to end: technical selection based on the engineering, specification, import, and customs clearance, using the free trade agreements in force to reduce duties.
