NCM pCAM Laboratories
Newman Eventus can help you design, build, and operate a pCAM product development laboratory by:
- Developing an equipment list
- Identifying NCM chemical formulations and process parameters
- Designing, building, and programming an automated chemical dosing system
- Identifying utility and waste disposal requirements
- Preparing a basis of design and scope of work for design and build contractors
- Preparing reaction programs
NCM pCAM and CAM Pilot Plants
Newman Eventus can help you deliver your pCAM and CAM pilot plants by:
- Identifying pilot plant objectives (what do you want it to do, why, and for whom?)
- Developing process flowsheets
- Selecting pilot plant equipment (what process or technologies need to be demonstrated?)
- Engaging vendors and developing a procurement strategy
- Carrying out concept and feasibility studies
- Leading site identification and selection
- Leading engineering activities
- Managing the pilot plant project on your behalf
In addition to the above, for pCAM pilot plants we are able to:
- Calculate chemical mixing ratios and consumptions for NCM 523, 622 and 811 cathode variants
- Calculate waste streams and identify disposal solutions
- Design latest-technology dosing systems which offer full flexibility to develop different pCAM formulations
- Prepare process engineering deliverables: PFDs, P&IDs, equipment lists, vessel size calculations
- Advise on different filtration and drying technologies
Scale-Up Programmes
One of the biggest challenges for the owners of a new process technology is the scale-up from idea to laboratory to pilot plant to commercial operations. A key to success is having a complete development roadmap showing key activities and milestones which aligns with your business strategy.
Newman Eventus can help develop your scale-up programme by:
- Reviewing your business strategy
- Providing specialist industry knowledge
- Ensuring you are targeting the right market segment
- Identifying a clear route to commercialisation
- Testing your assumptions
- Identifying and mitigating risk
- Identifying and engaging with partners
- Carrying out capital project concept and feasibility studies
- Ensuring CAPEX and other programme costs are minimised
We have been described as a Swiss Army knife: not the first choice in some cases, but highly versatile and exactly what you need in certain situations.
