Competitiveness
Use process engineering, process optimisation and cost optimisation to reduce overall production costs. Balance capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (OpEx) to support competitiveness in European operations.
Process engineering · Energy transition
Your plant was built for a different world. Let’s get it ready for this one.
Strengthening Competitiveness. Engineering Resilience. Delivering Certainty.
Process engineering, industrial decarbonisation and digital transformation for existing plants and new projects.
Engineering for what comes next.
01Competitiveness
02Resilience
03Certainty
Energy prices change, supply chains are disrupted and the pressure to cut emissions keeps growing. You need to know which changes will strengthen your plant, what they will cost and how to put them into practice safely.
Alcheemika Solutions helps strengthen competitiveness, build industrial and energy resilience, and bring greater certainty to investment decisions. We combine operating experience with process simulation to improve existing assets and plan new capacity.

Make your next investment count
The right engineering decision can protect the value of your plant and open up new opportunities. We help you compare what is possible with what makes sense for your business.
Resilience
Compare fuels, electrification and alternative raw materials to reduce exposure to changing prices and supply conditions.
Certainty
Test performance, safety and cost assumptions to make better-informed decisions before committing capital.

A practical route to plant transformation
FIT stands for Feasibility, Integrate and Transform. Our framework connects early concept assessment, integration engineering and practical implementation to support competitiveness, resilience and certainty.
01 / FIT
FITtoTransform
Verify the preliminary concept and assess process feasibility before committing to the next project stage.
02 / FITFITtoSWITCH
Develop the integration engineering needed to bring the proposed changes into your plant’s processes, equipment and utilities.
03 / FITFutureFIT
Support implementation and commissioning to help your transformed plant perform against the agreed operating goals.
Concept to commissioning
From the first question to a working plant
We begin with your assets, production targets and commercial constraints. We model the options, develop the engineering and support procurement, construction and commissioning within the agreed scope. After start-up, performance monitoring can help you see whether the plant is delivering as expected.
Our delivery approach ↗Industries we support
Oil and gas ↗Refineries ↗Chemicals and petrochemicals ↗Process industries ↗Steel and metals ↗Fertilizers ↗Energy ↗Cement ↗Energy-intensive manufacturing ↗
Our work includes renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen, green ammonia, e-methanol, carbon dioxide utilisation and bio-based or circular processes.
Your questions, answered
Common questions
Can your existing equipment handle a new feedstock? Where should you begin with decarbonisation? What do you need before an investment decision? Start with our answers to the questions plant owners ask most.
What is brownfield engineering?
Brownfield engineering upgrades or repurposes a plant you already have. We assess its condition and operating limits, then plan changes to equipment, processes or utilities around the needs of the existing site.
Can my plant use hydrogen or alternative feedstocks?
It may be possible, but the feed or fuel needs to be checked against your equipment and process. We assess reactions, heat release, materials, utilities, controls and product requirements before recommending a change.
Where should we start with industrial decarbonisation?
Start with a reliable view of energy use, emissions and operating constraints. We assess opportunities to reduce demand and recover resources, then compare options such as electrification, fuel switching or carbon capture against your costs and production needs.
What is the FIT framework?
FIT stands for Feasibility, Integrate and Transform. Feasibility covers preliminary concept verification and process feasibility studies. Integrate covers the integration engineering required for the chosen changes. Transform supports implementation and commissioning to help the plant perform against agreed goals: Transform to Perform.
