Phinix, LLC

Phinix, LLC provides global thought leadership/consulting for promotion, development & implementation of processes and products, recycling & sustainability, carbon footprint GHG and carbon management, energy efficiency for the aluminum industries and renewable energy project developments for agricultural methane and waste to energy from municipal solid wastes. We also provide Expert Witness/Legal Testimonial services. Carbon Management is key to sustainability. All manufactured primary, secondary and fabricated metal products employ production processes involving sources of carbon & energy such as coal, petroleum coke, charcoal, oil, and natural gas for combustion to generate heat. Additionally/indirectly, processes use electricity generated from combustion of fossil & renewal energy sources. Combustion of fossil fuels generates carbon dioxide as an undesirable by-product. Carbon Management is the science/engineering of managing/mitigating undesirable carbon dioxide production. We provide carbon management services in terms of understanding, calculating and providing strategies to lower carbon foot print via fuel selection, process control/modification, designing sustainable recycle-friendly products, increasing energy savings during use phase, increasing recyclability, minimizing products going to landfills or incinerators, carbon storage/sequestration and recovering products from landfills. Recycling is one of the easiest, cheapest, most sustainable ways to lower the carbon foot print of the process and/or products. We provide recycling services in terms of understanding/measuring recycling behavior and rates by pre-consumer/post-consumer sectors, designing/manufacturing recycle-friendly alloys and products, adapting manufacturing processes/consumer behavior to maximize recycling rates. In the aluminum sector, we provide: New Processes & Products Assessment and Development Techno-Economic Analysis Market Development Investment, Merger & Acquisition Analysis
