Chemicals
Hamel Engineering provided detailed mechanical and electrical designs for a containerized chemical processing system, enabling a laboratory test setup to deploy as a customer site demo unit. The design featured a robust environmental envelope for temperature regulation, ventilation, ingress protection, and service access.
Power Generation
Commissioned to redesign a modular power system to reduce excessive installation and field commissioning expenses. By streamlining utility interface layouts, the practice reduced installed costs by 25%, while a next-generation modular concept projected future savings of over 60%.
Energy Storage
Developed the commercial system architecture of a novel electrochemical storage solution for grid-scale environments. A techno-economic model utilizing iterative sizing was built to guide scaling decisions and optimize levelized cost of energy while incorporating real-world commercial component limits.
Energy Storage
Partnered with a major EPC firm to deliver a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for a multi-megawatt-hour battery storage system. The standardized FEED optimized groundwork, thermal systems, and electrical interconnect details, lowering EPC costs and decreasing deployment timelines.
