Not interested in being handed endless meaningless reports without the support to physically implement the changes needed.  Instead you're in need of practical specialists to get involved at grassroots levels working as part of your operations or design team for as long as it takes to achieve your goals. 

We help with...

  • Anaerobic Digestion plants that aren’t achieving the yields and profit they originally budgeted for. 
  • Anaerobic Digestion plants that have suffered a catastrophic issue and need urgent troubleshooting.
  • Anaerobic Digestion plants looking for that last incremental optimisation to move profitability to the next level.
  • Or developers/investors that are looking to build new AD facilities and need trusted advice on design, process flows, equipment and operations.

What our customers think

"Four months into the assignment the plant is now delivering UK top quartile power generating performance."

Four months into the assignment the plant is now delivering UK top quartile power generating performance.  The physical control of the plant is easier and tighter, and some unreliable equipment has been replaced.  And the biological health of the digesters is significantly improved, and much more consistent. 

Kyrone and Ricky have done a terrific job in a short period of time.  They have worked with the hardworking and talented team at Fernbrook to deliver real improvements quickly.  They have brought detailed technical understanding and excellent problem-solving skills to bear on a range of issues that they have identified, and then systematically addressed.

I particularly appreciate their straight-talking approach, willingness to tackle difficult matters for the benefit of our long-term performance, and their strong focus on health, safety, and compliance. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others

"Their knowledge, practical approach, and ability to find and fix our problems was second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others."

“We really appreciated the team’s common sense, no BS attitude.  They came in, got hands-on with every inch of the plant, and quickly identified things many others hadn’t. They maintained a “we cannot hide from the problems” approach without the need for flashy spreadsheets, tech. or gimmicks. And they didn’t shy away from tackling difficult issues head-on.

Their knowledge, practical approach, and ability to find and fix our problems was second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.”
