Conceptual design

Conceptual engineering is an estimation of promising alternative project variants of main technological, technical and economical features which is the initial stage of each project.

At this stage we analyze internal and external factors that influence over the project development on the whole.

The structure of a conceptual design:

Basic information about the project:

• general data about the design object
• resource provision of the project (raw materials, work materials, water, gas, water-gas, electricity)
• final products of production
• current infrastructure
• logistics and marketing
• project schedule

Technological project decision making:

• variants of technological schemes of production
• description of present technologies
• preliminary material balance
• preliminary estimation of requirements in energy and water
• technological and ecological characteristics

Making the list of partners of the project:

• finding the potential suppliers of the technology
• finding potential suppliers of  equipment

Assessment of project profitability:

• description and characteristics of produced items, its quantity and quality
• main production costs
• calculation of production costs
• potential build-up area
• preliminary project cost
