Large PLC Waste to Hydrogen Plant
Overview
Our client is pioneering a waste-to-hydrogen technology via its proprietary Distributed Modular Generation (DMG®) process. Their proprietary DMG® process can convert high calorific value waste material such as tyres and plastic into a clean syngas. This “syngas” contains a high percentage of hydrogen that can be cleaned up to 99.999% purity using off-the-shelf technology to produce a road quality hydrogen fuel.
Description of Services
Engsolve completed the Conceptual Design and Basic Engineering Design for a commercial unit to process 25 Tonnes Per Day of waste. The conceptual phase included the development of a Heat & Mass Balance, Process Flow Diagrams, equipment sizing calculations, process equipment datasheets, equipment list and a plot plan. During the basic engineering phase the process was further defined with the production of Piping and Instrument Diagrams, process line sizing, Material take-off’s, Electrical single line diagrams, utility flow diagrams. Equipment vendors were also engaged to allow the production of CAPEX and OPEX reports.
Engsolve has also completed FEED design for an increased throughput of 35TPD. Engsolve provided mechanical, process and safety disciplines under a main contractor for the FEED design.
Engsolve also provided site and engineering design support during the installation and commissioning of our clients demonstrator unit located at Chester University. The site support also included the development and implementation of a feedstock testing regime.
In an ongoing relationship and to provide engineering continuity Engsolve will be providing Owners Engineer services through the development of their first commercial scale facility.
