A specialist resource for consequential technical work.
ONB Engineering Research & Technical Services, LLC is a process-engineering and technical consulting firm working across chemical, energy, oil and gas, mining and critical-mineral, and manufacturing systems.
ONB leads defined studies and design work packages or integrates with larger client, laboratory, university, EPC, prime-contractor, vendor, and local engineering teams. Work spans feasibility studies, process modeling, reactor engineering and scale-up, PFD/P&ID development, engineering packages, TEA/LCA, technical due diligence, and optimization.
Core process engineering
ONB leads the process basis, calculations, models, drawings, technical memoranda, and recommendations within the defined scope.
Project-specific specialists
Additional discipline, regional, regulatory, commercial, laboratory, and subject-matter expertise can be integrated where the assignment requires it.
Institutional integration
Work can be performed directly for the client or as a specialist work package within a laboratory, university, EPC, prime-contractor, or consortium team.
Clear accountability
Responsibilities, interfaces, assumptions, reviews, document status, and issued deliverables are defined at the start of the assignment.
Feasibility & project definition
Options, process basis, site and infrastructure inputs, cost basis, risk, and implementation planning.
Process modeling & simulation
Flowsheets, thermodynamics, balances, kinetics, CFD/CPFD, sensitivities, and model review.
Reactor engineering & scale-up
Operating windows, governing phenomena, sizing, transport, hydrodynamics, and validation planning.
Process design packages
Basis of Design, process descriptions, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment lists, datasheets, utilities, controls, and vendor interfaces.
Economics & sustainability
TEA, CAPEX/OPEX, manufacturing cost, TCO, LCA, scenario analysis, and development targets.
Technical assurance & optimization
Due diligence, design review, HAZID/HAZOP support, model audit, debottlenecking, and technical recommendations.
Corporations & manufacturers
Feasibility, process development, engineering packages, design support, optimization, and independent review.
National laboratories & government
Defined technical work packages, scale-up, TEA/LCA, engineering integration, and mission-oriented project support.
Universities & consortia
Translation between research evidence, pilot requirements, industrial constraints, and deployment decisions.
Technology developers, owners & investors
Scale-up readiness, project definition, economics, technical diligence, and next-stage engineering.
Omar M. Basha, Ph.D., P.E. · Managing Director
Dr. Basha provides technical leadership and principal-level review across ONB assignments. Project teams are configured to match the disciplines, geography, schedule, project stage, and delivery structure required by the work.
Depending on scope, ONB can integrate project-specific subject-matter experts, local engineering firms, laboratories, universities, vendors, EPCs, environmental and regulatory specialists, and commercial or financing advisors while maintaining a clear process-engineering basis and defined interfaces.
Traceable assumptions
Inputs, sources, uncertainty, exclusions, and limitations are documented so the work can be reviewed and updated.
Fit-for-purpose detail
Analysis and document maturity are matched to the project stage and decision.
Recognizable work products
Models, calculations, drawings, registers, memoranda, and recommendations are organized for actual project use.
Flexible integration
ONB can lead a defined study, supplement a client team, support a prime or EPC, or provide independent review.
