Consulting Solutions
Operating Platforms
BFluor is a highly specialized group of entrepreneurial chemical engineers and support functions. The consulting team’s strength is in its diversity, which is applied to deliver comprehensive multi-disciplinary services to selected clients.
The integration of the operating platforms, Bring it all together, is founded on BFluor’s knowledge and experience of new product and process development project life cycles:
- Industry (value chain) analysis and market research in the global chemical industry from mining through chemical processing, formulation and application to the end-user. This enables BFluor to provide a key revenue stream building service to its customers.
- Chemical process and business development with focus on technology sourcing (including development) and technology implementation (authorization processes like license and permit applications).
- Financial modeling services (together with its strategic partners) to bring the project elements together in Definitive or Bankable Feasibility Studies, ready for funding and implementation.
BFluors' services originate from the market platform where the comprehensive business intelligence database and contact network resides.
The core chemical engineering team receives the relevant market information, such as product specifications, to drive the technology sourcing and implementation processes.
The CAPEX and OPEX information from the engineering packages, together with the revenue stream information from the marketing platform, are fed into the financial models on the finance platform, delivering validated Definitive or Bankable Feasibility Studies ready for implementation.
The integration of activities on the three operating platforms provides the opportunity for projects to be completed on time and in budget during all project phases (from idea phase, through desktop, laboratory and piloting phases to implementation phase).
The BFluor team’s experience spans the whole chemical processing industry from refining to end user applications, and includes several specialty areas from Process Safety in Major Hazardous Installations to Brand Building in the Marketing arena.
Value Proposition
BFluor has in-depth experience and understanding of the intricate dynamics between the technology-, market-, and financial pipelines of development projects, providing a unique value proposition.
The value proposition is based on two proven rules for developing successful and sustainable businesses:
