Infrastructure specialist who turns process models into fast, reliable web applications.
seb@ecaengineering.dkLead Thermodynamics Engineer
Ph.D. & Postdoc, Thermal Engineering (Aalborg University)
Leads the thermodynamic side of ECA's models — phase equilibria, property methods and energy balances across the processes.
tig@ecaengineering.dkApplication Specialist
M.Sc., Thermal Engineering (Aalborg University)
Turns the process models into configured, validated web applications for clients — process set-up, test cases and client-specific parameterisation.

Official project: "Development of detailed models for design and optimisation of pyrolysis plants in interaction with CO2 capture"
With Aarhus University, ECA is building an integrated model for pyrolysis plants coupled with CO2 capture (CCUS) — from mass and energy balances to literature-calibrated and plant-validated versions, delivered as a browser platform. Project period 2026–2028.
Project on Erhvervsstyrelsen ↗Research consortium
ECA and ECA Holding ApS are the engineering partners in this INNO-CCUS consortium, led by Aalborg University with ShipTown, R&R Consult and Concito. It pairs membrane-assisted Direct Air Capture with a reversible hydrogen fuel cell, targeting CO2 removal at USD 250/tonne while balancing the grid. DKK 8.5 m, 2026–2028.
Academic collaboration
ECA works with the Section of Thermal Engineering at Aalborg University (AAU Energy); the group's work on thermal-system optimisation, carbon capture, biomass conversion and membrane processes underpins ECA's thermodynamic modelling.
Standards membership
ECA is a member of CO-LaN, the network that maintains the CAPE-OPEN standard — the open interfaces that let process-simulation tools and thermodynamic components interoperate.
Strategic Partnership & Board Representation
Corporate backing through capital participation and active board representation.
