From Idea to Implementation

We are a group of seasoned problem solvers in the area of chemical, energy, environmental, mining and metallurgical process technology innovation and decarbonization, with a solid track record in process development, complex equipment design, process simulation and optimization.

We have work experience in large multinationals, as well as small start-ups.

We strongly believe that one solution does not fit all, and every process has its own unique characteristics and challenges. We work with you to find the most efficient, pragmatic and cost effective approach for your specific needs.

Now, ask yourself:

  • Does your innovative process or product make economic sense?

  • Are you trying to figure out what technoly or equipment best suits your procss?

  • Do you need to optimize your system for maximum efficiency, minimum footprint and lowest cost?

  • Does sustainability matter to your bottom line?

  • Are you on the path to commercializing your start-up technology?

  • Are you trying to decarbonize your process?

  • Is your process polluting air, water or land?

If your answer is YES to any of the above, give us a call.  You can do better and Green Twirl Energy can help.

Our Services

Conceptual Design

Wether you are developing a new product, a new process or both, you are dealing with unknown design parameters. We use our expertise in chemical reaction engineering, complex fluid flows, heat transfer and other core fundamentals of process design along with simulation tools and testing to develop process concepts that decrease your development risks and can scale with your process as it grows.

Reach out to our experts to find out how we can help with the right concepts for your innovative technology and how to harness your creativity with credible and reliable solutions.

Scale-Up

As a startup, your scaleup risks should be on top of your mind. You have ample proof of concept from your lab results. However, lab results typically do not usually represent the rate of key phenomena that control the overall "real world" performance of your process. This well-known fact is often overlooked by inexperienced owners, or sacrificed by tight timelines and investor demands for quick commercialization.

Reach out to us today and let us discuss a custom plan including equipment selection, scale-up factors, layouts, test plans, implementation, monitoring, analysis and reporting. This is key to derisking your growth.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

CFD is a subset of the Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) discipline and is all about saving development cost, avoiding catastrophic errors and reducing time to market.

Instead of building multiple physical versions of your process - a costly and prohibitive approach - we help you build a virtual, high fidelity model of the critical parts of your system. The model is then used to predict the behavior and performance of those key segments. It can be modified many times until a satisfactory outcome is achieved. This can be done at a very small fraction of the total development costs.

Your Questions, Answered

The scale up process is inherently complex. Our experience tells us that there are multiple reasons to build a pilot or demo plant, however, not all reasons are equal. The right strategy may be best revealed in answering the following questions:

- What is the current scale at which you have fully validated your proocess?

- What is the primary purpose of the scale up?

- What are you trying to learn from running this plant?

- Are your process core units custom designed or off-the-shelf?

- Where are the highest risk areas in your process?

We will ask probing questions and work with you to frame the right set of problems that the scale up exercise is required to solve.

At Green Twirl Energy we are skilled to guide you through this complex [path help you tune in to the right scale, maximizing your learnings and derisking your future investments.

What is the right scale up strategy for my pilot or demo plant?


CFD is a reliable derisking tool - somewhat similar to an insurance policy - when it is deployed by the right experts with in-depth knowledge of the underlying phenomena that drive your process. As world-class experts in CFD, we work with you to determine a realistic scope of work that offers the right level of complexity to find out key answers while avoiding unrealistic expectations and assumptions that are not possible to validate.

CFD costs are only a very small fraction of your development costs but its benefits are invaluable.

How expensive is CFD?


What industrial sectors do you specialize in?

We have proven track record of working on complex projects in the following areas:

- Waste conversion to sustainable fuels and chemicals

- Process decarbonization

- Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS)

- Pyrometallurgy

- Chemical reactor design and scale up

- Novel catalytic reactors

- Emission control

- Water engineering


How can you support our experimental campaigns?

It depends on what type of resources you are looking for. We have links to partners with facilities that can be contracted out at lab or pilot plant scales. We can support you in experimental design, planning, test campaign supervision, quality control , data analysis and reporting activities.
