HAIVAD Thermo Tech develops thermodynamic models for homogeneous and heterogeneous non-conventional systems present in the chemical recycling, biomass, and oil & gas sectors, allowing the estimation of physical properties of these systems. Our models are designed for easy implementation in process simulators, improving analysis and decision-making efficiency in industrial operations.
At HAIVAD, we develop advanced mathematical models for steady-state and/or dynamic process systems and units, aimed at simulating, designing, integrating, intensifying, and optimizing:
* Intelligent multiphase reactors.
* Phase transitions in heterogeneous systems within reactor environments.
* Kinetic modeling of thermal and catalytic depolymerization reactions.
* Non-conventional separation process systems.
In addition, we apply cutting-edge tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to enhance:
* Flow patterns in heat and mass transfer systems.
* Heat and mass transfer coefficients in reactor operations.
Our solutions are designed to increase process efficiency, reduce development time, and support data-driven decision-making across various industrial sectors.
Conceptual Design
Detail Engineering
Conceptual Design
At HAIVAD, the conceptual design phase lays the foundation for efficient and sustainable process development by defining the process vision and evaluating its technical and economic feasibility. This stage involves setting objectives, selecting reaction and separation strategies, performing preliminary mass and energy balances, creating high-level process flow diagrams, estimating costs with conceptual-level accuracy, comparing alternatives, and broadly assessing environmental and safety impacts.
Basic Engineering
Detail Engineering
Conceptual Design
At HAIVAD, the basic engineering phase transforms conceptual designs into a detailed technical basis for project execution. It involves refining process diagrams, specifying equipment and utilities, defining control strategies, and ensuring safety through early hazard analysis. This stage also delivers accurate mass and energy balances, mechanical layouts, and cost estimates (±10–20%), supporting sound investment and construction decisions.

Detail Engineering
At HAIVAD, the transition from design to operation is secured through detailed engineering and a structured commissioning and start-up process. Detailed engineering finalizes all construction-ready documentation, integrates vendor data, develops the full 3D plant model, and completes designs for piping, instrumentation, automation, and control systems. Once construction is complete, the commissioning phase includes system checks, control testing, SCADA/PLC validation, and stepwise process start-up. This ensures safe, efficient, and compliant delivery of systems across all applications—from chemical recycling to biomass valorization and oil and gas.
