Project advisory & plant planning
Feasibility and concept studies, plant-design validation and vendor-neutral equipment selection for hydration and calcium carbonate projects.
A clear path from plant design to consistent product.
Practical advisory for hydrated lime and calcium carbonate plants, covering project development, commissioning, process performance and rehabilitation.
Lime hydration & calcium carbonate
See the connections.
Know the next step.
Hydration, grinding and calcium carbonate production bring their own operating and product-quality questions. We connect the process, equipment and maintenance decisions with the specification you need to meet, whether you are planning a plant, expanding capacity or improving an existing operation.
Discuss your projectWhat we cover.
- Hydrated lime
- Calcium carbonate: PCC and ACC
- Calcium carbonate: GCC and WGCC
Where we can help.
A defined scope, shaped around the decisions you need to make.
Commissioning & rehabilitation
Installation supervision, performance testing, start-up and ramp-up support, including the modernisation and restart of existing hydration plants.
Process & product-quality review
Production planning, process control and a structured review of capacity, product specification and off-spec material.
Grinding, drying & classification
Review of mills, dryers, separators and classifiers, considering energy use, equipment condition and product requirements together.
Maintenance & operating capability
Equipment audits, preventive and predictive maintenance, turnaround planning, operator training and SOP development.
Tendering & procurement support
Bid documents, vendor evaluation, contract negotiation and procurement planning around the agreed process and plant requirements.
Where we look.
Hydration performance
Hydration plant condition, process control and consistent product specification.
Grinding & drying
Mills, dryers, separators and classifiers, with attention to power use and product quality.
Calcium carbonate operations
PCC and ACC process equipment, utilities and the connections between production stages.
Reliability & yield
Maintenance priorities, root-cause analysis, uptime and off-spec production.
We review capacity, power use, uptime and quality together, then agree priorities around the plant and the product you need to deliver.

How to start.
Define the product and the decision
Share the product, project stage, available plant information and the operating or investment question.
Review the plant and the gaps
Assess process, equipment, quality and reliability information, with a site review where relevant.
Agree a practical roadmap
Prioritise improvements and define any implementation, commissioning or ramp-up support.
A useful starting point
Is this the right
conversation for you?
You are planning a hydration or calcium carbonate plant, or expanding an existing line.
Product consistency, grinding performance or reliability needs a structured review.
A plant restart or modernisation needs a clear technical and implementation plan.
