Rodan Engineering Company Ltd. services

At the heart of any Energy from Waste project lies the Mass-Energy balance which depends on the waste stream to be processed and the technology employed. Rodan implements waste audits to determine a representative characterisation of the waste streams to be processed. The waste streams are then modelled to determine how much can be realistically recovered from the waste for recycling, how much is inert materials, what the energy and moisture content of the prepared residual waste is likely to be and what its size range is.

Rodan employs Autodesk Inventor, an industry standard 3D CAD system by Autodesk, to design systems and plant layouts. Inventor is compatible with the Autodesk 2D AutoCAD system, a program used worldwide in mechanical and electrical engineering as well as in architecture. The 3D model is an exact and complete representation of the real project; clashes can be detected; infeed and offtake heights matched up; clearances for installation, operation and maintenance can be designed in; all prior to the engineering phase. This prevents costly redesigns, on-site fixes, installation modifications and/or building modifications etc. that are all expensive and time consuming. The use of 3D CAD therefore results in a delivered design that is right first time, that installs correctly and to programme.
