Process studies

The model described on this site was built to answer real questions about real plants. Where a study needs more than a calculation — judgement about what to model, what the plant data actually says, which comparison is fair — we take that on directly.

What that typically looks like

Technology comparison

Crystallization against adsorption for a specific feed composition and a specific set of utility and product prices — rather than in general, where the answer is always "it depends".

Debottlenecking assessment

Finding what actually limits an existing complex, and what a given change is worth once the recycle multiplier has been applied to it.

Yield reconciliation

Working backwards from measured stream compositions to the reaction yields that explain them — then using those yields to predict what a change would do.

Economic evaluation

The full cost and revenue consequence of a design or operating change, including the by-product credits and utility effects that a headline calculation misses.

Model development

Extending the model to a configuration it does not yet cover, or validating it against your own plant data.

How we work

• The model is the deliverable, not just the report. You get the cases, so the analysis can be rerun when an assumption changes.
• Assumptions are stated, not buried. Every number that was chosen rather than calculated is listed.
• Verification is shown. Where the model is checked against plant data or against a reference, the comparison is in the report.
• Confidentiality is assumed. Plant data stays yours.
