From Investment to Operation
Save Tech supports industrial projects from the first investment decision through engineering, implementation, commissioning and operational optimization.
Industrial Investments Require More Than Equipment
A successful project requires the right technology, realistic investment assumptions, efficient process design, disciplined project execution and experienced commissioning. Save Tech provides an integrated approach that combines all of these. Our involvement can start before the investment decision and continue until the plant reaches its targeted performance.
Investment Analysis
Feasibility, CAPEX and OPEX, ROI, EBITDA, risk and sensitivity analysis.
Process Engineering
Process design, mass and energy balance, PFD and PID, equipment sizing, utilities.
Project Execution
Technology selection, procurement support, EPC and EPCM, installation and project management.
Commissioning
Start up, performance testing, operator training and ramp up support.
Optimization
Yield improvement, energy efficiency, capacity optimization and operational excellence.
Investment Analysis
Make the investment decision before making the investment. Before committing capital, investors need to understand whether the proposed project is technically feasible, commercially attractive and operationally sustainable. Save Tech evaluates industrial investments from both the engineering and the financial perspective.
Technical Feasibility
- Feedstock and raw material assessment
- Product and market requirements
- Capacity evaluation
- Technology alternatives
- Utility and infrastructure requirements
- Preliminary process configuration
Investment and Operating Costs
- CAPEX estimation
- OPEX analysis
- Energy consumption
- Labor and maintenance assumptions
- Raw material and conversion costs
- Working capital considerations
Financial Evaluation
- EBITDA and EBITDA per ton
- ROI
- Payback period
- Cash flow
- Break even analysis
Sensitivity analysis. We evaluate how project economics respond to changes in:
Risk assessment covers:
The objective is clear. Identify the conditions under which the investment creates sustainable value, before major capital is committed.
Process Engineering
Engineering the right process. Once the investment concept is validated, Save Tech develops the technical foundation of the project. Our approach focuses on process efficiency, product quality, yield, energy consumption, operational reliability and future flexibility.
Process Definition
- Process concept development
- Process flow diagrams (PFD)
- Mass balance
- Energy balance
- Utility balance
Detailed Engineering
- Piping and instrumentation diagrams (PID)
- Equipment sizing
- Equipment specifications
- Utility system design
- Plant layout support
Control and Safety
- Process control philosophy
- Process safety considerations
- CE, ATEX and PED requirements where applicable
Technology and equipment are selected according to the process requirements, rather than designing the process around a predetermined equipment supplier.
Project Execution
From engineering to industrial reality. Save Tech supports the transition from process design to project implementation through flexible EPC and EPCM project models.
Technology Selection
Evaluation and comparison of suitable process technologies and equipment suppliers.
Procurement Support
Preparation of technical specifications, technical bid evaluation and supplier coordination.
Engineering Coordination
Integration of process, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, automation and utility systems.
Project Management
Coordination of suppliers, contractors, schedules, interfaces and technical documentation.
Construction Support
Site coordination, installation supervision and technical problem solving.
EPC and EPCM
Depending on project requirements Save Tech participates as EPC contractor or in an EPCM management role. The model follows investment strategy, project complexity and client requirements.
Commissioning and Start Up
A plant is not complete until it performs. Mechanical completion is only one stage of an industrial project. The real objective is to bring the plant safely and efficiently to its intended production capacity and product quality.
Pre Commissioning
- Equipment checks
- Utility commissioning
- Dry commissioning
- Wet commissioning
Start Up
- Process start up
- Operating parameter optimization
- Product quality stabilization
- Performance testing
Handover to Operations
- Operator training
- Troubleshooting
- Ramp up support
Our operational experience allows us to evaluate the plant not only from an engineering perspective, but also from the perspective of the team that will operate it every day.
Process Optimization
Improve the plant you already have. Industrial plants rarely operate permanently at their theoretical optimum. Changes in feedstock, energy prices, equipment condition, production requirements and operating practices create significant opportunities for improvement.
Yield Improvement
Reducing product losses and improving material recovery.
Energy Efficiency
Reducing steam, electricity, fuel and cooling requirements.
Capacity Optimization
Identifying process bottlenecks and increasing effective plant throughput.
Product Quality
Improving process stability and consistency of final product specifications.
Waste to Value
Recovering valuable materials from existing side streams and process wastes.
Operational Excellence
Improving process control, operating procedures and plant reliability.
Engineering plus Operations plus Economics
Save Tech combines three perspectives in every industrial project.
Engineering
Is the process technically correct and efficient?
Operations
Can the plant operate reliably under real industrial conditions?
Economics
Does the project create sufficient and sustainable financial value?
