Summary of Project Scope Sample Clauses

Summary of Project Scope. The Project will build and operate a commercial demonstration plant with an output capacity of 300 t/y. The plant will first produce batch samples committed to three engaged end-users to validate product consistency, i.e., three randomly selected 20 kg samples will be extracted from the continuous production process. Following customer acceptance of the qualification samples, the plant will begin commercial supply. Summary of Project Objectives: - Finalize the detailed design and equipment specs required for the 300 t/y demo plant. - Procure, install and commission all the equipment required for the plant. - Produce ASAC™ (AdvEn Super Activated Carbon) with the quality and in the quantity that satisfies the conditional off-take agreements. - Identify debottlenecking and optimization opportunities. Update the production cost basis with actuals. Batch size 20 kg 20 kg 3 kg Product consistency: specific density within ± 5% of specification ± 5% reproducibility specific surface area within ± 5% of specification ± 5% reproducibility ash content <0.1% <0.2% <0.2% iron content <50 ppm <50 ppm sulfur content <250 ppm <250 ppm Technology Production uptime reduced due to unforeseen operation issues Identification of bottlenecks. QC of major equipment and storage of critical parts. Implementation of LEAN manufacturing techniques. Product quality is not consistent Quality-control of feedstock intake. Real-time quality control measurement in all major production stages. Process optimization and control. Comprehensive operator training and competency assurance programs. Project Major equipment is not compatible or are otherwise deficient Rigorous design engineering review to identify compatibility issues early and negotiate solutions Rigorous procurement practices (negotiating and demand for quality, cost efficiency and firm delivery timelines) Market Penetration Market reception of products is limited Innovative marketing strategies – direct-sale, whole-sale, commodity trading, alliances/JV’s etc. Work closely with market users to meet their technical and cost performance needs. Cost of production higher than expected, compromising economic viability Continue R&D efforts to optimize existing and develop novel approaches to further drive down cost and improve performance.
