Based on our combined power, petroleum refining, mineral process, and pulp and paper expertise, UniField has been involved in the solid fuel handling industry for over 20 years. Within that time, we have developed considerable expertise in coke, lignite and coal drying, milling and combustion. We have provided studies, preliminary and detailed engineering, as well as procurement and construction representation, on small through major biomass and waste derived fuel projects for owners of power stations, petroleum refineries, industrial kilns, paper mills, and other. Our service approach is to deliver high engineering quality and efficiency on every project.

While UniField possesses a wealth of materials handling knowledge, we are first and foremost a projects firm – one that is focused on delivering optimum return on client investment. Owners rely on our thorough and accurate studies and cost estimating to assist them in annual capital and major project budgeting. Our engineers are well versed in the latest equipment designs, regulatory and insurance mandates and fuel handling safe practices. UniField’s full-service staff has the experience and ability to complete all facets of process, electrical, mechanical and civil/structural design of small projects as well as major plant expansions and green field installations.

In addition to engineers and designers, we have a complete staff of procurement, scheduling and construction administration specialists - enabling UniField to assume full engineering responsibility for your project through startup. On major projects, our typical contracting approach is as the owner’s agent, wherein UniField holds engineering responsibility for the project from study through startup, commissioning and acceptance testing. For small capital projects, we most often team with the owner’s staff to achieve a flexible, low-cost delivery.
