Coal Performance & Efficiency Partner

Your plant is burning the
wrong tonne of coal.

We re-engineer coal sourcing, blending and combustion to cut fuel cost per MW by up to 18% — without touching your boiler. Backed by lab-verified specs, combustion modeling and live heat-rate telemetry.

/ 01 — The problem

What's actually costing you money.

Most coal underperformance doesn't show up on the invoice. It hides inside heat rate deviation, secondary fuel consumption, ESP loading and forced outage hours. We measure where it actually leaks.

01Fuel quality

Inconsistent GCV

Cargo-to-cargo calorific variance of ±400 kcal/kg silently inflates your heat rate and station auxiliary consumption.

02Combustion

Wrong blend, wrong boiler

Imported vs domestic ratios get set by procurement targets — not by combustion engineers who know your furnace.

03Spec drift

Hidden moisture & ash penalties

Total moisture above spec costs more in unburnt carbon and ESP load than the discount on the invoice suggests.

04Supply chain

Logistics drag

Demurrage, rake delays and stockpile degradation quietly erode 2–3% of landed cost every quarter.

/ 02 — The work

How we re-engineer the fuel chain.

Four engagement tracks, all instrumented end-to-end. Each one ties a measurable plant-floor outcome to a contractual lever upstream.
