Working in projects means establishing discipline and good communications with team members. it is engrained in our work after 30 years working in projects.
We learned it from the best. We are by no means experts in aluminium reduction but we have specific skills that are found to be very useful to our clients.
We are experts in gas treatment technologies. We know how to design them, optimize them, upgrade them and much more.
While this is a new application in our field, our combined skills and expertise make us exceptionally well positioned to help our industry move into CO2 capture.
We support clients and their legal teams with technical advice and strategies to come to a good conclusion of the legal proceedings.
Based on 30+ years of experience and countless projects, studies and assignments, our extensive knowledge and skills can make a difference in your projects. Don't hesitate and ask us. We will be happy to answer the call.

Doing your homework often means we have to go back to the fundamental heat & mass balance of a system. It reveals exactly how it works and gives incredible insights to map out the steps that need to be taken.
We know how to design scrubbers, filters, fans and all equipment required to make a full system. We utilize process models where we combine the heat & mass balances with equipment design so that it is possible to find the limits of existing systems or establish the design criteria for new systems.
We are very good in studying a unit operation or system and define a heat & mass balance. We add theoretical and empirical design equations to come to models that enable us to identify trends, behavior and other aspects of the respective system.
Again, this is a another use of process models where they are utilized in investigations of current processes. Because all the relationships are built-in, it often reveals aspects that previously were not considered or understood.
If a system is attached to a larger system and the larger system is upgraded or expanded, often it is required to dive into the design of the downstream unit to establish its limits and if the capacity is enough to cope with the main upgrades. For example, this comes up when the lime amperages are increased or when a baking furnace has to produce larger anodes. Then the focus is on the capacity of the GTC and FTC, respectively.
Process models are extremely useful if additions are considered. By adding a new system in the existing process model, it impact can be evaluated. A great example is the retrofit of gas cooling like HEX technology. In the model we evaluate the cooling effect on the filtration parameters to see how compatible it is with a GTC. Another great example is the conversion of a GTC (or FTC) from standard filter bags to extended surface filter bags like Star bags.
