C.A.R.E. Ltd. is an independent company, formed in 1996, providing specialist technical and economic services in the rapidly expanding bio-energy and waste conversion sector. C.A.R.E. Ltd. does not own or offer any particular technology – it designs the solution to meet the project requirements or finds the technology from commercial organisation to meet the project requirements.

 

The firm specializes in:

• Conversion of biomass, wastes and other materials, primarily by gasification, combustion and pyrolysis.
• Production and recovery of chemicals and derived products.
• Technical assessment of thermal conversion systems

 

Services

C.A.R.E. Ltd. can offer a wide range of services in the area of thermal biomass conversion based upon our significant experience and ongoing in the implementation of projects, mostly at small-scale in biomass gasification, wastes gasification and combustion and fast pyrolysis for liquid fuels, products and derived chemicals. The following are some examples of services that have been provided to commercial organisations and can be offered:

• Design of complete bio-energy systems from feedstock reception to heat and power generation. This includes detailed chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and process design of unit operations, mass and energy balances and environmental compliance.

 

• Organisation and evaluation of biomass and waste feedstock testing by pyrolysis, gasification and combustion at lab scale or on commercial systems.

 

• Technology surveys, reviews and feasibility studies of thermal conversion processes for energy, chemicals and derived products.

 

• Due diligence of thermal conversion technologies and advice on best available technology to suit the clients application.

 

• Techno-economic modeling and evaluation of complete thermochemical conversion systems.

 

• Market evaluation of the opportunities for renewable products and technologies.

 

• Advice on environmental legislation, project authorisation and compliance with emissions. We have worked on Integrated Pollution Control [IPC], Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control [IPPC], the Large Combustion Plant Directive [LCP] and the Waste Incineration Directive [WID ]for combustion, gasification and pyrolysis plants.

 

• Sourcing of R&D funding from public sources.
