Sustainable Energy Development

Both industrial and commercial energy customers are bombarded with regulatory requirements (both Federal and State) in the environmental arena week after week. Many customers are unable to respond to these requests either due to a lack of understanding or due to a lack of resources.

Please find below a list of "fee for service" consultancy services we are currently offering. Please note that the services listed serve as an introduction only, and do no cover the full gamut of services which we can offer to your organisation. Pricing is on application, as the requirements for any customer will differ from site to site.

Cogeneration means generation of electricity and thermal energy (steam/hot water) simultaneously. We have completed Preliminary Evaluations for cogeneration for  customers in the following industries: Food & Beverage Plant, Polystyrene Plant – NSW, Abattoir-NSW, Abattoir-SA, Abattoir-QLD, Abattoir-NSW, Abattoir-NSW 

We have also successfully completed Detail Feasibility Study for “Cogeneration” for a number of Food & Beverage Plants in NSW;

·         Preliminary Evaluations and Detail Feasibility Studies for “Natural Gas Power Generation”

Natural Gas Power Generation is applicable when the plant is unable to use the thermal energy recovered and only electricity is generated.

We have conducted Preliminary Evaluation and Detail Feasibility Study for “Natural Gas Power Generation” for a new Polystyrene Plant-NSW;

·         Preliminary Evaluations and Detail Feasibility Studies for “Biomass Power Generation”

This refers to generating power from renewable sources like wood waste, saw dust, wood chips etc. We have successfully completed a Preliminary Evaluation for a retro fit of a “Biomass Power Generation” for an existing Timber Processing Plant in NSW;

·         Preliminary Evaluations and Detail Feasibility Studies for “Bio gas Capture and Use in Steam Boilers or Gas Engines”

We have carried out Preliminary Evaluation for “Biogas Capture and Use in Steam Boilers and Gas Engines” for customers in the following industries:

In NSW: Rendering Plants, Stock Feed Plants, Abattoirs;

In SA: Abattoir;
