We proudly bring 20+ years of industrial engineering experience to partners in:

• Biomass & Renewable Energy

• Pulp and Paper

• Wood Products & Building Materials

• Glass

• Chemical & Specialty Chemical

• Thermal Processing Industries

• Natural-gas-based Industrial Operations

• Emerging Clean-tech Sectors

Biomass systems are good business. They can also deliver unpredictable and undesired results or costly errors, if not controlled and maintained correctly.

We offer:

• Biomass‑fuel system optimization for stable heat supply

• Waste‑heat recovery opportunities

• Direct-fired process cleanliness

• Renewable‑energy integration for kiln operations

• Process economics and cost‑reduction analysis

• Gasifier and burner operation, instrumentation, and maintenance optimization

• Controls and mechanical upgrades to get the most out of your system

• Fire risk reduction

Facilities across the forest-products, pulp & paper, and energy sectors rely on us to turn under-utilized biomass into heat, power, fuels, and high-value products. We optimize existing systems, integrate new technologies, and help operators unlock the full economic and environmental potential of their biomass streams.

We offer:

• Process engineering & design

• Performance enhancement

• Process modeling & simulation

• Education & training 

• Assessment & optimization

• Feedstock analysis

• Renewable chemical, biochar, & bioproduct development

Whether you run conventional, steam, dehumidification, continuous, or high‑temperature kilns, we bring the engineering expertise to help you hit your targets.

Kiln performance optimization can:

• reduce energy costs

• improve yield

• reduce drying defects

• improve planer mill operation

• keep your mill profitable

We help you achieve these goals through our deep understanding of lumber drying, kiln design and operation, and thermodynamics.

We offer:
‍ ‍

• Heat-transfer and energy-efficiency analysis

• Moisture content control strategies to reduce degrade

• Charge-to-charge consistency improvement

• Preventative maintenance and parts subscription programs
  • Fire risk reduction
  • Green sawdust burner and gasifier tuning and optimization
  • Boiler and burner efficiency audits
  • Thermal‑system balancing for stable kiln performance

We use proven tools to get to the heart of your recurrent process problems and solve them.

Advanced diagnostics and quality assurance don’t just improve your outputs, they can reduce costs and prevent fires.

Your employees are irreplaceable. Protecting them isn’t just good business, it’s essential.

We have worked with industry safety leaders to set programs and standards for the safe operation of heavy industrial equipment.

We offer:   

• HAZOP facilitation for kilns, boilers, burners, and heat and combustion systems

• Safety audits

• Inspection, testing, and preventative maintenance program development and services for critical and hazardous processes in kilns, boilers, and similar systems

• Process and combustion safety training and training program development

Employee turnover and knowledge loss are major challenges for modern manufacturing.

We offer:

• Custom-written SOPs

• Insider knowledge of practical procedures

• RACI charts for shift‑to‑shift consistency

• Training materials for new operators and supervisors

• Classes on safety, troubleshooting, operation, and maintenance
