Spain-headed engineering company Prodesa and US-based pellet industry consultants FutureMetrics are teaming up under a new partnership agreement. Under the agreement, FutureMetrics operations expert John Swaan will lead a team that trains the operators of new Prodesa pellet plants throughout the startup and commissioning phases of the project.
According to a statement, Prodesa’s world-class engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) offering, and track record of successful pellet mills designed and built in Europe, the US, and Asia, is well complemented by FutureMetrics’ deep operational expertise gained from John Swaan’s decades of experience in producing wood pellets.
FutureMetrics’ consulting services have resulted in improved operations at newly commissioned and existing pellet mills in North and South America, Europe, and Asia and that knowledge and wisdom will be applied to Prodesa’s state-of-the-art new pellet plants to ensure that the operators have the shortest learning curve possible to reach safe and stable operations while producing high-quality wood pellets.
