Basic + detailed engineering, submittals and approvals by both EPC contractor and end-client. Up to 6 months
In-house manufacturing of Cambi's proprietary THP equipment. Sourcing the ancillary equipment included in the contract scope.
Requires the completion of the foundation work by the main contractor. After site delivery, Cambi's installation involvement can be full responsibility or supervisory.
All elements of the sludge line must be ready to work in sync for start-up. This can often lead to delays, but most of Cambi's scope and payment milestones have already passed. Usually done by Cambi, first on steam, and then on sludge.
Engineering Manufacturing Installation Commissioning Performance testing/ ramp-up
Once in operation, Cambi provides training, assists with ramp-up and any troubleshooting. Handover takes place once the THP meets the performance criteria set in the contract.
