Pilot programs
Our pilot programs are designed to bridge the gap between concept and commercialization, providing a low-risk environment to test, refine, and scale fast pyrolysis technology locally. We help clients unlock the full potential of renewable biomass conversion by creating small-scale test plants designed to train, evaluate, and prepare for commercial scale projects.
Our pilot offerings
We offer end-to-end support, from technology integration to performance monitoring, ensuring projects are optimized for scalability and impact.
Design objectives: Define pilot goals and test local supply chains, feedstocks, and manufacturing.
Program parameters: Tailor each pilot to match your specific feedstock, technology, and operational requirements.
Perform risk evaluations: Identify potential challenges early and provide mitigation strategies to de-risk your pilot.
Engineering and construction: Design, build and commission a pilot scale fast pyrolysis system.
Install and calibrate pilot systems: Ensure all elements are configured for optimal functionality and safety.
Conduct feedstock testing and analysis: Determine the most efficient operating conditions for your biomass materials.
Adapt to and address challenges: Fine-tune variables (e.g., temperature, feedstock input rates, reaction times) to maximize output quality while identifying and resolving any bottlenecks or inefficiencies in the system.
Monitor key performance indicators: Track critical metrics, including energy output, conversion efficiency, and byproduct yields.
Analyze environmental impacts: Measure emissions and other environmental outputs to ensure alignment with ESG and regulatory standards, recommend process improvements, and highlight operational refinements.
Deliver compliance support: Ensure your pilot meets all relevant environmental and industry regulations.
Conduct scalability assessments: Test whether pilot results can be effectively scaled to commercial operations.
Analyze cost and efficiency gains: Identify opportunities to reduce costs and increase process efficiency at scale.
Develop a commercialization roadmap: Provide step-by-step guidance to transition from pilot to full-scale operations, including market positioning, product rollout, and pathways to secure additional funding or partnerships for scaling.
