Energy Transition

Independent engineering for decarbonising the world

The energy transition runs on new fuels and first-of-a-kind plant: dense-phase CO₂, high-pressure hydrogen, novel process chemistry; where standard practice runs out, and the rulebook is still being written.

Equitus brings the specialist capabilities and independent, code-based verification to establish whether a design is safe, compliant and bankable, and where it falls short, to pinpoint why, and define the route to fix it.

Because we don't fabricate or build the assets we assess, that judgement carries no conflict — and stands up to regulators, investors and lenders alike.

Hydrogen

Specialist engineering across the hydrogen value chain — production, storage, distribution and legacy-asset conversion.

Capabilities

  • Hydrogen safety & dispersion modelling — CFD gas-dispersion, jet-fire & explosion overpressure.
  • Storage design to a leak-before-burst philosophy (fracture-mechanics based).
  • Structural-integrity & thermal-fatigue analysis of vessels & piping.
  • Process safety, HAC zoning & legacy-asset compatibility reviews.
