One stop solution.
ASCEX was created to assist clients through the life cycle of energy projects.
Few companies have the capabilities that ASCEX has in its ability to provide a one stop solution to its clients. ASCEX focuses their core business around the operation and efficiency of its clients facilities and goals.
ASCEX is involved from the first design concept until the final de-commissioning of a facility at the end of its useful life span. ASCEX provides consulting engineering, design engineering, project management, scheduling, owners engineering representation, testing, and auditing.
ASCEX develops ideas into projects by taking design concepts and applying them to process applications. The process applications are then applied to project developments utilizing the best industry standards and methods. Fabricators, Vendors, and Suppliers are all pre-qualified using the best industry practices available.
Projects are then executed through project management overseeing contractors, vendors, and suppliers with the goals of achieving a commitment to Safety, Quality, Schedule Adherence and Cost Control. Achieving the first three committed goals will result in achieving the cost projections of the project meeting the expectations of the client.
ASCEX has a business model that allows it to come in at any point of a project life cycle. ASCEX can generate contract documentation, develop project execution plans, and perform feasibility studies. ASCEX is at its best when its clients are at their wits end. ASCEX has solutions for project recovery when problems arise and projects go astray.
ASCEX is an emerging leader in the industry.
The first steps in planning a project are the most vital. The amount of planning that goes into a project pays off in the longevity of the facility and operation. ASCEX assists its clients through every step of the process from beginning to end.
Design Concept
ASCEX is involved in the development, integration, and implementation of the latest technologies used in the Alternative fuels, Fossil Fuels, and Nuclear Energy technologies. ASCEX has personnel that have years of experience in working with nearly every commercial nuclear and fossil utility provider in the power generation markets in the United States.
The best industry practices have been learned through practical field applications and hands-on experience including the application of lessons learned and continuous learning activities to stay current on ever changing industry developments and additions to safety standards for design and construction practices.
Recently, ASCEX has placed focus in the design concepts and processes used for Bio-Energy and Bio-Fuel Generation. ASCEX has experience in developing, testing, and assessing the processes used in Bio-energy and Bio-Fuels including gasification using metal oxide catalysts, transesterfication, and fermentation processes.
Commitment to Four Primary Goals on Every Project
- Safety
- Quality
- Schedule Adherence
- Cost Control
After the design concept has been completed and the technology has been agreed upon, ASCEX performs feasibility studies on site locations. ASCEX is also capable of evaluating existing facilities to assist the client in selecting the best technology with the minimal amount of modification.
Project Development and Execution
ASCEX is an integral component to developing the project from the drawing board to the actual fabrication and construction. ASCEX has a firm commitment to quality assurance and utilizes the best industry practices of assuring the quality from the vendors and suppliers.
This goes much farther than just providing specifications. Vendors and suppliers are auditing and evaluated to industry standards prior to ever issuing the first purchase order. This process is required in the nuclear industry and is considered a best practice in the Alternative Energy and Fossil Energy industries.
ASCEX utilizes project management teams and schedulers to assure the project is executed on time and within cost projections. Often times, the role ASCEX fills is the final role of accepting turn key EPC contracts milestones and turnovers. ASCEX is also fully capable of executing pre-commissioning, commissioning, and operational duties during the final stages of construction for the final turnover to the clients.
Most importantly, ASCEX is there to assure the client has trained and certified operators that are fully educated on the systems they are tasked to operate so that they can perform their jobs safely.
ASCEX integrates multiple strategies to allow clients the ability to reach a mutual goal.
It does not matter how ambitious the project or how simple it is, ASCEX has the solution. ASCEX has access to industry experts and can provide assistance in all areas of the project including civil, geotechnical, mechanical, environmental, chemical, structural, and electrical applications. ASCEX utilizes an ISO 9001-2008 compliant program to assure the quality of its work meets or exceeds international standards.
ASCEX relies upon industry resources to assist their clients in developing new technologies and improving their existing ones. ASCEX quickly and reliably provides clear alternatives to the dilemmas the clients are facing. ASCEX provides solutions for commercialization of a technology and assists clients in making that technology scalable and viable.
Existing Facilities Assessments
ASCEX is a direct resource for Risk Assessment, Feasibility Studies, Competition Comparisons, and Cost Analysis.
ASCEX can go to existing facilities and develop models that will indicate current property conditions, current technology effectiveness and efficiency, and available market comparisons. All of these items are available prior to the decision of proceeding with due diligence. ASCEX is also experienced in performing necessary due diligence in order to satisfy its clients that the project can be successful.
ASCEX utilizes all of its resources when evaluating a property. The reports lay out very specific risks, and in some cases, areas to capitalize on opportunities. Often times, substantial opportunities for capitalization go un-noticed when evaluating existing facilities. ASCEX is thoro methodical, and provides results in a timely manner.
Operations, Maintenance, and Emergency Outages
All accidents are preventable but not all emergencies are. ASCEX can mobilize to client facilities quickly. Outages almost always result in lost revenue. ASCEX takes an active role in isolating the areas of primary focus, and implementing a critical path. This system is integrated with client planners and operators, so that nobody is ever out of the loop and work planning is always involved from a results oriented point of view minimizing risk.
ASCEX is a key resource for outages but ASCEX is also a resource for operations. ASCEX has certified plant operators that can operate and train plant personnel. We are also involved in construction turnover, commissioning, package review, final testing, and performance verification.
Bio-Energy and Bio-Fuels
ASCEX has a commitment to developing technologies and projects that alleviate the need for foreign dependency of energy products while providing clients with green, renewable energy solutions. This goal is to help America be the leader in renewable resources energy and bio-fuels development.
ASCEX has evaluated many of thetechnologies used in the Alternative Energy ASCEX has experience with Gasification, Steam Reforming, Fischer-Tropsch, Transesterfication and Pyrosyser processes.
ASCEX has innovative techniques to minimize develop build out, maximize output and efficiency, and control overall cost measures. ASCEX utilizes industry resources to develop solutions for almost any Renewable Energy Process.
