Hard Test — New & Existing Plants

Before you build, buy or refinance: an independent stress test of a plant design, or of an operating plant’s performance and the assumptions behind it. The result is a verified report that says what holds, what does not and what it means.

What we do

  1. 01

    Design hard test

    A new plant’s design and energy case tested against independent calculation.

  2. 02

    Operating plant hard test

    An existing plant’s real performance tested against what was promised.

  3. 03

    Assumption stress test

    The assumptions that carry the business case pushed until they break.

  4. 04

    Gap & risk list

    What does not hold, ranked by its effect on energy, cost and risk.

  5. 05

    Remedies

    Practical corrections for the design or the operation.

  6. 06

    Verified report

    An independent, verified report for owners, buyers and lenders.
