Project consultancyExpert advisory for thermochemical conversion projects
Owner's Engineer, DPR preparation and carbon removal certification advisory for biochar, torrefaction and MSW-to-fuel projects, from practitioners who have built India's largest thermochemical plants.
Most projects fail before commissioning, not at the market
Without independent technical representation, project owners find gaps when they are most expensive to fix: scope cut back, equipment off specification, or biochar that fails certification.
We design and build our own patented reactor, and biochar from it is certified Isometric Class 1. Our advice is benchmarked against real operating data from the Sanchore demonstration plant: throughput, costs and biochar quality.
Our lead advisor headed and personally executed India's largest municipal solid waste to coal torrefaction project, at 600 TPD, six times the scale NTPC classifies as a larger reactor. The wider team has executed multiple 200 TPD torrefaction projects in India.
