A phased scale up process

 

The scale up process exists of four phases:

Idea, study & lab phase
Goal: Test feasibility of the process and gain understanding of your process parameters and efficiency.
Partnering with Bilfinger Tebodin? Once feasibility has been successfully tested on lab scale and you have written a business plan, we are happy to discuss the next steps with you!

 

Pilot Plant
Goal: Design and build a cost effective pilot plant to prove feasibility and get investors and clients onboard.
Why partner with Bilfinger Tebodin? Working together as one team we will support you with our knowledge, expertise, network and investment partners, while solving some last design challenges.

 

Demo Plant
Goal: Build the first of a kind demonstration plant to give confidence towards investors and clients that the technology is ready for commercial scale up and deployment.
Why partner with Bilfinger Tebodin? We have all disciplines and systems in-house to efficiently design plants of this scale and to support in construction, permitting and obtaining subsidies.

 

Scale
Goal: Scale up to commercial size and deploy one or multiple facilities.
Why partner with Bilfinger Tebodin? Bilfinger Tebodin has the expertise to scale your technology in the most efficient way based on experience from the previous phases. Bilfinger Tebodin has longstanding experience in the design of large scale facilities in various sectors. If you opt for a smaller scale modular approach. No problem, we have ample experience with skid building and we can bring our module construction partner on-board!

 

Working in a partnership

Many disruptive innovations come from (corporate) startups. Startups require a different approach than a conventional engineering process. Working as one team in a partnership effectuates the most efficient approach! Possibly with a business model in which Bilfinger Tebodin also invests time in the first phase, which is rewarded with an incentive once we have scaled up the technology successfully together. It goes without saying that you will stay owner of the Intellectual Property (IP).

We are looking for opportunities that are:

  • new, still under development and not widely implemented or used yet;
  • in a development stage as pilot plant or higher;
  • technically feasible and commercially marketable;
  • sustainable business opportunity;
  • supported by a committed team with demonstrated experience in setting up (or failure of) a business.

The process

The partnering process consists of the following steps:

  • Fill in our quick scan form, so we understand your opportunity. We perform a quick scan based on the form, advise you on points of attention and determine if we can support you.
  • A speed date during which you pitch your idea, where you get to know us in person, get the opportunity to consult our experts and see if we can match a team.
  • Discussion and agreement regarding terms and conditions, to manage expectations and have a transparent cooperation.
  • A one day workshop during which we look into your value chain and jointly assess how to create sustainable value.
  • Setting up a project plan and start the partnership, based on the outcomes above.
