Our method

Feasibility first, then a financially controlled process

Three methods make ARV3XA projects bankable: a detailed feasibility study, our Stage-Gate process and our SPOF expertise.

Feasibility first

No industrial strategy without a detailed feasibility study

Before proposing any technology or investment, we run a detailed feasibility study — the foundation of every successful development project.

01

Waste characterisation

Measured, multi-season sampling: volumes, composition, moisture, contaminants and 20–30-year projections.

02

Local circuits & markets

Existing recycling channels, offtakers and prices, deciding what is recycled and what is transformed.

03

Site & regulation

Land, permits, environmental pathway, utilities and grid connection.

04

Technology screening & tests

Technology-agnostic selection, laboratory and pilot tests, mass and energy balances.

05

Economics & financing

CAPEX, OPEX, revenues, sensitivities, carbon value and funding plan.

06

Risks & SPOF

Risk register, Single Point of Failure analysis and what-if responses from day one.

Outcome: An independent Go / Modify / No-Go recommendation and the industrial strategy best suited to the local economy.

Stage-Gate

De-risking every investment decision

Each phase ends with a formal gate — go, adjust or stop — based on consolidated data. Capital is committed step by step, never in one block.

G0

INITIATE

Frame the need, the waste stream and the stakeholders; test conceptual viability.

Deliverable: Initial business case

G1

QUALIFY

Deep-dive on feedstock, site, regulation and markets; first risk screening.

Deliverable: Pre-feasibility · SPV set-up

G2

EVALUATE

Compare scenarios, select technologies, model mass, energy and money flows.

Deliverable: Preliminary business plan

Concept freeze
G3

CONSOLIDATE

Secure offtake and financing, stabilise the design, prepare FEED and permits.

Deliverable: Consolidated business plan

System freeze
G4

FEED / FID

Detailed engineering, EPC tender and award, financial close.

Deliverable: Final Investment Decision file

Design freeze
G5

EXECUTE

Procurement, construction, HSE, commissioning and performance tests.

Deliverable: Plant handed over

G6

ACHIEVE

Operation, optimisation and life-cycle asset management (LCAM).

Deliverable: Performance validated

Five axes reviewed at every gate: Organisational · Strategic · Financial · Administrative & permitting · Technical, including SPOF analysis.

SPOF expertise

Anticipate failure, keep producing

Our AI-assisted Single Point of Failure methodology goes beyond predicting equipment failure: it prepares the what-if response, so production is not interrupted.

Stage 1

Identify

Documents, data and asset registers; AI-assisted dependency mapping from plant down to sub-unit; redundancy check and site validation.

Stage 2

Score & prioritise

Plant and commercial impact, grid and cascading risk, likelihood and detectability, risk tiers from critical to low.

Stage 3

Mitigate

Design and redundancy options, cost-weighted prioritisation, residual-risk reassessment and investment roadmap.

Stage 4

What-if response

Simulated failure scenarios, degraded-mode procedures, spares, bypass and fast-restart plans, and conduct-to-hold playbooks for operators.

Project finance

We make projects bankable — and investable

Business plans

Investor-grade financial models: CAPEX, OPEX, revenues, sensitivities, IRR and payback.

Financing files

Information memoranda, lender and grant applications, due-diligence data rooms.

Structuring

SPV and JV set-up, PPP, debt and equity mix, export-credit and multilateral financing.

Carbon & green revenues

Carbon-removal credits, green certificates and offtake contracts that secure cash flow.

Investor identification

We identify and approach third-party investors: private equity, family offices, impact and development funds.

Investment narrative

Drawing on similar projects, we build the narrative that convinces investors: need, solution, risks and returns.
