The Design of a Clean Energy Incinerator
Indivus Ltd approached us during the development of a bespoke pyrolysis and gasification system designed to process medical waste. Their concept aimed to deliver a clean energy incinerator using advanced thermal conversion techniques, turning hazardous waste into usable energy through a controlled, high-temperature environment.
What began as a modest support role (primarily fabrication-focused in collaboration with our parent company, Grayton Ltd), soon evolved into a major engineering endeavour. As the complexity and ambition of the project grew, so too did our involvement.
We undertook full reverse engineering of the system, which involved:
- Over 500 unique components,
- 50 sub-assemblies, and
- 8 principal assemblies.
An Improved Design Process
Using a combination of legacy arrangement drawings and partial STEP files, we reconstructed the entire system in 3D CAD. This allowed us to:
- Generate precise DXF files for efficient and accurate fabrication.
- Identify and resolve fabrication challenges before they reached the workshop.
- Integrate multiple design revisions from Indivus in real time.
- Deliver a fully detailed and accurate CAD model for long-term reference and scalability.
Another Project Successfully Delivered
This project offered a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities in structural design, structural analysis, and fabrication design, while working under tight timeframes and adapting to evolving client needs.
The result was a robust, modular waste-to-energy system that reflected Indivus’ original vision – with improved fabrication design, efficiency, and clarity.
