Reliable capacity. Consistent quality. Independent aquafeed production engineering and consultancy.
I help aquafeed producers turn plant designs, production lines, and raw material changes into reliable output at scale. That means solving the technical issues that limit capacity, disrupt production, or cause feed quality to drift — from the first design assumptions through day-to-day plant operation.
My work covers the complete aquafeed production process: intake and raw material handling, grinding, conditioning, extrusion, drying, coating, cooling, and packaging. I use that full-line perspective to find where performance is being lost, why quality is drifting, and what has to change for the plant to run as intended.
For equipment suppliers, raw material developers, and feed additive companies, I help translate technical performance into plant-level evidence: what the product changes in throughput, feed quality, process stability, cost, and sustainability once it is running through real production conditions.
I bring 23 years of aquafeed production experience across projects in over 30 countries, covering greenfield plant design, process optimisation, product development, line-level troubleshooting, raw material evaluation, and production management support.
See practical examples of my aquafeed consultancy work in real production conditions — from capacity recovery and feed quality improvement to process troubleshooting, OEE actions, product development, and plant-level evidence for new raw materials.
Where I add value
I work where plant design, production performance, raw material behaviour, and feed quality meet. The focus is practical: finding what limits reliable output, what causes quality to drift, and what has to change for the plant, product, or process to perform under real production conditions.
Plant and process development: Support for new plants, expansions, upgrades, and line optimisation across the complete aquafeed process — from intake, grinding, and conditioning through extrusion, drying, coating, cooling, and packaging — with the goal of turning design intent into stable capacity and consistent product quality.

Raw material development: Evaluation of how new or existing raw materials, ingredients, and additives behave in production: their effect on throughput, process stability, pellet quality, cost, and sustainability once they move beyond lab trials and into real plant conditions.
Product development: Practical support for developing new feed products or improving existing ones, helping internal teams connect formulation, raw material choices, process settings, and plant capability so product targets can be achieved reliably at scale.
R&D support: Support for translating trials, ideas, and technical assumptions into plant-level evidence, helping teams understand how new concepts perform under real production conditions before they are scaled or commercialised.
Courses and training: Plant-floor-relevant training and management support for production teams, focused on understanding the process, improving day-to-day decisions, and building the operational discipline needed to sustain capacity, quality, and process stability.
Troubleshooting: Structured diagnosis of recurring production problems such as capacity bottlenecks, unstable extrusion, drying limitations, coating variation, quality drift, or reliability issues — using plant data, process knowledge, and practical root-cause analysis rather than guesswork.
