Feasibility and Engineering

a) Feasibility (technical, economic assessment)

• Study of CO₂ based real process gases in methanogenesis to determine process performance and upscaling parameters
• Direct feed gas sampling at customer`s production site
• Customer oriented economic analysis of biological methanation (methanogenesis) within customer`s process boundaries based on a proprietary model
• Evaluation of gas purification using adsorption

b) Concept Engineering

• Optimised  to customer`s needs
• Full integrated process from real process feed, possible upstream purification down to methane as product gas incl. downstream processing (gas purification, compression when needed)

c) Basic Engineering

• Process upscaling as basis for plant manufacturer (usually also carries out detail engineering)
• Upstream and downstream
• Mass and energy balances
• Definition of operating conditions
• Definition of key process components, automation, analytics
