Preliminary planning for pyrolysis projects
Why pre-project planning?
- Planning and investment security: reliable costs (Capex/Opex), deadlines, risks
- Technical clarity: process design, pretreatment chain, offtake fit, quality objectives
- EPC readiness: uniform FEED package for comparable offers and smooth implementation
- Speed & Availability: In-house pilot plant and petrochemical laboratory for fast turnarounds
- From laboratory to offtake LOI: Support until contractual acceptance readiness
What makes us special
- Globally proven: projects and customers on 6 continents
- Scalable reactors: 5 t/day per line, can be connected in parallel; special tire pyrolysis up to 60 t/day
- Standard vs. Individual Scope: start efficiently and expand precisely for special requirements
- Strong partner chain: experienced specialists for pretreatment (wet/dry washing, shredding, storage)
- Priority treatment possible: accelerated review of critical projects
Process
1. Design basis & process concept
- Definition of goals, quality windows, offtake requirements
- Creating process flow diagrams (PFD), initial operating and control philosophy
2. Feedstock & pretreatment chain
- Integration feasibility study and feedstock analysis
- Polyolefin focus: PO-rich streams; non-PO are removed (value added protection)
- Pretreatment (washing/drying, sorting, shredding) with proven partners
3. Plant design & location
- Plot plan, equipment list, ISBL/OSBL interfaces, media & utilities, layout variants
- Safety & Compliance: HAZOP preparation, approval roadmap
4. Bankability & EPC readiness
- Cost estimate (Class 3 level), baseline schedule, risk register
- FEED package for tendering, offtake reconciliation, ISCC PLUS path & audit readiness
Content & Deliverables – Standard vs. Individual Scope
Why we differentiate: Our preliminary planning is based on our own, proven modules and completed projects.
→ Standard Scope = quick start, less risk, calculable costs.
→ Individual Scope = customized when requirements lie outside the standard.
Standard Scope – fast, calculable, low-risk:
If your project falls within our proven parameters (e.g. PO-rich streams, modular lines, typical layouts).
Deliverables (excerpt):
- Design Basis Document including target corridors (quality, yield, emissions, ISCC-Plus baseline)
- Heat & Mass Balance (v1), PFD and preliminary P&IDs (L0–L1)
- Plot plan (v1), equipment list (L1), utility/media concept
- Control & Operating Philosophy (Draft), standardized E&I principles
- HAZID/HAZOP preparation (checklists, node definition)
- Approval Roadmap (v1) including required evidence in the standard case
- ISBL/OSBL interface matrix, standardized 3D building blocks for layout variants
- Capex/Opex estimate (Class 3 level) and baseline schedule
- Risk Register (v1) and RFQ skeleton for comparable EPC offers
Your advantage: Maximum speed from kick-off to FEED package with proven templates, clean interfaces and low planning risk
Individual Scope – tailored to specific requirements:
For projects outside the standard parameters (e.g. special feedstocks/mixtures, exceptional throughputs, special site/regulatory requirements).
Additional/extended deliverables (examples):
- In-depth feedstock/pre-processing studies (e.g. washing/drying concepts, sorting logic, QA/QC sampling plans)
- Dynamic process simulations, CFD/FEA for critical aggregates/flows
- Extended emission/immission certificates, ATEX zone calculation, explosion protection document
- OSBL/utilities extensions, water/wastewater concepts, special storage/logistics solutions
- Offtaker-specific product specifications & test campaigns (laboratory/technical center)
- ISCC PLUS System Design & Audit Readiness Pack (data flows, mass balance, SOPs)
- Procurement/awarding strategy, supplier reconciliation, multi-vendor comparisons
- Bankability dossier with sensitivity-based economic scenarios
Note: More engineering depth and greater effort for a concept tailored exactly to your project
