Preliminary planning for pyrolysis projects

From feasibility to bankable FEED – fast, secure, scalable.

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
