From Concept to Operation
Supporting customers through every stage of an Advanced Thermal Treatment project.
Successful Advanced Thermal Treatment projects involve much more than selecting a technology. They require a clear understanding of the feedstock, practical engineering, thoughtful project development and long-term operational support.
IQ Energy works alongside customers, EPC contractors, engineering consultants and project developers from the earliest project discussions through to commissioning and long-term operation, helping deliver practical Advanced Thermal Treatment infrastructure built around each project's unique requirements.
The Typical Project Journey
Every project is different, but most Advanced Thermal Treatment projects progress through these stages.
1. Initial Project Discussion
Understanding the Opportunity
Every project begins with understanding the customer's objectives.
Early discussions typically explore:
Existing residual management pathways
Feedstock characteristics
Opportunities for beneficial reuse and disposal reduction
Regulatory and environmental requirements
Project drivers and long-term objectives
Our role is to understand the project before recommending the most appropriate Advanced Thermal Treatment pathway, helping customers determine whether the technology is the right fit before significant engineering work begins.
2. Preliminary Project Assessment
Building an Initial Project Model
Following the initial discussion, IQ Energy will often request key project information through a short Request for Information (RFI).
Using this information, we develop a preliminary project assessment that may include:
Indicative treatment capacity
Preliminary equipment sizing
High-level process configuration
Initial capital and operating considerations
Early project risks and opportunities
This provides customers with an informed basis for determining whether the project should progress further.
3. Project Definition
Developing the Right Treatment Solution
As projects progress, IQ Energy works closely with customers and project partners to define the preferred treatment solution.
This stage commonly includes:
Feedstock characterisation
Plant sizing & site layout
Balance-of-plant requirements & utility requirements
Integration with commercial dryers (if required)
Energy recovery opportunities
Regulatory considerations
Every project is different, so the G-Series is configured around each project's feedstock and operating objectives while maintaining the confidence of a proven commercial platform.
4. Working with Project Partners
Delivering the Complete Facility
IQ Energy supplies and supports the Advanced Thermal Treatment platform while working alongside EPC contractors, engineering consultants and specialist equipment suppliers responsible for delivering the complete treatment facility.
While IQ Energy provides the core thermal treatment platform, every project also requires project-specific Balance of Plant (BoP) infrastructure configured around the feedstock, site and operational objectives.
IQ Energy typically provides
G-Series or HTP Series Advanced Thermal Treatment Platform
Integrated thermal oxidation and emissions control
Process engineering support
Equipment manufacture and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
Commissioning support
Operator training
Long-term technical support
Typical Balance of Plant (BOP) may include
Commercial drying systems
Feed preparation and material handling
Conveying systems
Civil works and foundations
Buildings and utilities
Energy recovery systems (heat recovery, ORC)
Site integration and plant controls
IQ Energy works collaboratively with customers, EPC contractors and engineering consultants to integrate a proven Advanced Thermal Treatment platform within the wider Balance of Plant, ensuring the complete facility is configured around each project's feedstock, operational objectives and long-term performance requirements.
5. Project Delivery
Manufacturing, Testing and Delivery
Once a project proceeds, IQ Energy manufactures the G-Series platform before completing Factory Acceptance Testing and preparing the system for delivery.
Our modular approach supports efficient manufacturing, transport, installation and commissioning while maintaining consistent engineering standards across projects.
6. Commissioning & Training
Supporting Successful Start-Up
IQ Energy supports installation, commissioning, operator training and early operational optimisation to help customers transition confidently into commercial operation.
Support typically includes:
Commissioning assistance
Operator training
Performance optimisation
Process tuning
Documentation and handover
7. Long-Term Support
Supporting the Life of the Project
Our relationship does not end at commissioning.
IQ Energy can provide ongoing support throughout the operational life of the facility, including:
Remote technical support
Spare parts
Preventative maintenance guidance
Operational troubleshooting
Process optimisation
Future system upgrades and expansion support
The objective is not simply to supply equipment, but to help customers achieve reliable long-term Advanced Thermal Treatment performance.
Every Project is Different. Our Approach is Consistent.
No two residual streams are identical.
Feedstocks, regulations, operating objectives and existing infrastructure all vary from project to project.
That's why IQ Energy begins every engagement by understanding the project before configuring a proven Advanced Thermal Treatment platform around its specific requirements.
This approach combines the confidence of repeatable engineering with the flexibility required for successful infrastructure projects.
