Feasibility Studies - Types of Studies
Do you have a vague idea of how to expand your factory or process?
Are you thinking about saving energy, but don’t know how?
Do you have department heads who are not engineers suggesting process improvement
projects?
If you find yourself in that twilight zone of an incomplete idea, then call Green
Energy Engineering, Inc. and let us shed some light on your darkness. Feasibility
studies are inexpensive ways to determine both the technical and financial value
of ideas.
We use the “fishing boat” example. Let’s say you are thinking about buying a fishing
boat but don’t know what size or hull type.
Would it be valuable to speak with an
experienced ship captain before buying? The captain has seen fishing boats out at
sea, off shore, near shore, inland, and within the harbor. He could tell you about
waves, wind, and safety. With that backdrop of knowledge, you would have a better
idea of whether to purchase a canoe, a 12-foot flat bottom dingy, a 24-foot V hull,
or a 40-foot catamaran with two engines.
Saving energy is the same. Some people have a wealth of experience to draw from,
can listen to your ideas and suggest options.
The studies that Green Energy Engineering, Inc. offers are highly dependent on the
type, size, and location of your process. The studies can be:
- Simple half-day consultations.
- Full day walk-arounds
- Two-day data gathering and report writing
- Multi-day studies that review your entire energy use and/or process that results
in full reports.
The common thread is that you can obtain a considerable amount of knowledge and
direction without spending much money. Furthermore, you may gain confidence in a
decision that will allow you to recoup the investment in capital equipment, if you
choose to move forward with the recommendations. Or you may avoid losing money because
the feasibility study pointed out the pit falls of the idea.
Allow us to help you in making these important decisions for your business.
