Facility Engineering Services

Biomass\Bioprocessing

Biomass/Bioprocessing is a new and emerging industry in the US. In the same light, it as old as human history. Biomass processing and conversion facilities incorporate a large number of aspects of today's agricultural processing facilities including heat and power generation. Other facilities may require pelleting and material handling systems. They are complex entities requiring a systems approach to engineering design. As technology improves , the importance of facility and process integration will grow.

For many commercial and industrial facilities, the physical plant (i.e., buildings and their mechanical systems) can be designed and built without knowledge of the manufacturing process/business that will operate within the facility. This is seldom true with an agricultural or agri-industry such as a biomass processing facility. In virtually all cases, the building shell(s) and associated process systems are just as integral to the processing system as the processing equipment. Facility Engineering Services understands these requirements.

As a full service engineering firm, Facility Engineering Services is uniquely different from other engineering firms. Facility Engineering Services uses a "process-centered" design approach. The approach approach involves integrating traditional engineering disciplines to focus on how the facility and/or process works as a whole. Supplementing this collective approach is an innate understanding of the industries that we serve. The majority of our engineers have worked for owners and contractors. Bottom line—our experience makes a difference for our clients.
