Before choosing

Technology Assessment

Is this process route right for this feed and site?

We review the evidence for a process route against your own feed and your own site, compare it with the alternatives, and set out the scale-up and operating risks before you commit capital.

Who it is for

  • Operators choosing between process options
  • Developers assessing a vendor or licensor
  • Investors backing a technology-led project

What we look at

  • How well the route suits your feed, and the test work that supports it
  • How well it suits your site: power, water, reagents, logistics and skills
  • Maturity of the technology and where it has run before
  • Scale-up risk from pilot to full operation
  • Operating and maintenance demands
  • Comparison with alternative routes
  • Claims the supplier has not yet proved

What you receive

  • A written assessment
  • A comparison of the options
  • Questions to put to the technology supplier

Scope, fees and timing are agreed in writing before any work starts.
