PANAVIEW ENGINEERING
FOAK & Pilot Plant Engineering
for Emerging Technologies
Panaview Group delivers First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) process engineering and pilot plant design for emerging technology companies in Australia, translating laboratory results into bankable engineering design and techno-economic analysis (TEA)—managing technical and commercial risk at every stage from FEL 1 concept through FEL 3 FEED.
Engineering & Advisory Capabilities
End-to-end pilot engineering, scale-up advisory, and risk management services for First-of-a-Kind technology commercialisation.
First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) Process Engineering
Rigorous process engineering for novel technologies—from initial concept through FEL 3—grounded in pilot plant data and scale-up fundamentals.
- Block and process flow diagrams
- Mass and energy balances
- PFDs, P&IDs, and control philosophy
- Equipment sizing, selection, and specification
Techno-Economic Analysis
Bankable financial modelling that anchors technology potential in engineering reality and market economics.
- CAPEX and OPEX estimation with confidence ranges
- NPV, IRR, and payback period analysis
- Sensitivity, scenario, and Monte Carlo modelling
- Bankable TEA reports for financing
Scale-Up & Pilot Plant Strategy
Systematic evaluation of pilot-to-commercial scale-up pathways, identifying bottlenecks and quantifying risk before committing capital.
- Scale-up modelling and dimensional analysis
- Bottleneck identification and resolution
- Technical and commercial risk assessment
- Technology readiness and maturity mapping
Commercialisation Pathway
Strategic guidance connecting engineering deliverables to market entry, offtake, and project financing.

- Permitting and regulatory pathway
- Project development and financing roadmap
Commissioning & Operational Support
Hands-on engineering support through construction, commissioning, ramp-up, and early operations—minimising startup risk.
- Commissioning and startup planning
- Ramp-up support and troubleshooting
- Performance optimisation and debottlenecking
- Operational risk management and SOP development
Owner's Engineer Advisory
Independent technical oversight for EPC/EPCM procurement and execution, safeguarding project outcomes.
- Contractor evaluation and shortlisting
- Bid review, negotiation, and award support
- Technical specifications and design review
- Progress monitoring and risk escalation
From Pilot Plant to Commercial Scale
A structured, risk-managed approach to technology maturation and scale-up engineering.
Concept Development
Initial process definition, preliminary mass and energy balances, and high-level TEA to establish technical feasibility and commercial viability.
Pre-FEED
Detailed process development, equipment sizing, refined economic analysis, and systematic risk identification with mitigation strategies.
FEED
Comprehensive front-end engineering design, bankable TEA, and EPC-ready deliverables with fully developed risk registers.
Build & Commission
Owner's engineer oversight through construction, commissioning, and ramp-up—managing startup risk and optimising early operations.
