02Why Regeneering

Novel process, tight budget, real plant at the end.

Built for the hard middle

Most engineering firms are set up for proven, large-scale plants. We work where the process is novel and the plant is small- to mid-cap — pilot to first industrial line.

One team to performance

The team that writes the FEL study runs procurement, installation and start-up, and stays on site through the guarantee runs.

Lighthouse-grade method

Model-based design, modular delivery, measured ramp-up — world-benchmark discipline applied at our scale.

Our engineering heritage runs since 2015, delivered from Lappeenranta across Europe, Asia and Latin America.

03How we work

Our EPCM delivery process — seven stages, one accountable team.

Open a stage to see the delivery scope.

00

Feasibility & TEA

Risk, budget and technology assessment; FEL-1.

01

FEL / FEED

FEL-2/3 and base engineering; recipe & material integration.

02

Detail engineering

Process, mechanical, E&I, infrastructure, automation; ATEX.

Scope +
  • Equipment specifications & technology evaluation
  • Process & utility dimensioning
  • Engineering management: EIA, HVAC, process mechanical, infra
  • Documentation, licensing & environmental permitting
03

Procurement & sourcing

Supplier comparison, contracting, 2nd-hand and refurbished routes.

Scope +
  • Supplier comparisons & contracting
  • 2nd-hand equipment delivery, repurposing, refurbishing
  • Budgeting, timelining & project databases
04

Installation

Mechanical, electrical and automation installation; construction management.

05

Start-up & ramp-up

Water runs, performance and guarantee runs, operator training.

06

Take-over & optimization

Handover, process optimization, follow-up and support.

03.1 — How we diligence

  1. 01

    Source census

    Every claim traced to its document.

  2. 02

    Triangulation

    Each claim cross-checked against independent sources.

  3. 03

    Independent engineering

    Our own process, cost and schedule view.

  4. 04

    Reconciliation

    Differences resolved into one investable base case.

Performance guarantees are written into the contract and tested at commissioning — the same team stays on site through the guarantee runs.

04Selected case

Feasibility & FEL → base & detail engineering → EPC delivery → successful start-up → customer take-over

Delivered end to end by our team — from the first feasibility study to a running plant handed over to the customer.

04.1 — Track record

40+ industrial projects delivered — of which 30+ industrial consulting, feasibility & EPCM, 20+ material-development, and 2 WEF Global Lighthouse transformations.

Footprint: Europe · Asia · Latin America.

Client names anonymised by default — most of our work is under NDA.

05The Lighthouse standard

Could the next Global Lighthouse be your site?

The World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network is the world's benchmark for advanced manufacturing — independently assessed production sites that deploy AI and Industry 4.0 at scale. Across the network, Lighthouses have delivered step-changes on the order of 50% higher productivity, 80% fewer defects and around 30% lower CO₂. The sites that go furthest on environmental footprint earn a second distinction: Sustainability Lighthouse.

Network averages. Source: World Economic Forum, Global Lighthouse Network.

We don't just study that standard — our team has engineered it. The people behind Regeneering have led the advanced-analytics and process transformation behind sites recognised in the Global Lighthouse Network. We know what it takes to reach the benchmark, because we've built to it.

Now we bring that playbook to your plant — connecting the value chain end to end, deploying closed-loop AI control on the process, de-risking every step with independent engineering, and designing sustainability into the line rather than bolting it on.

A Lighthouse doesn't have to be a multinational's flagship. The next Global Manufacturing — or Sustainability — Lighthouse could be your industrial site.

Let's design it
06Company

From local pilots to global benchmarks.

Ikigaia Regeneering Oy is part of Ikigaia Oy and carries the team's industrial engineering heritage since 2015, delivered from Lappeenranta across the EU, Asia and Latin America.

Our aim is narrow on purpose: make regenerative and circular processes buildable — plants investors can underwrite.

Finland & EU

30 biomaterial R&D and feasibility projects; pre-engineering for biorefineries, biofractionation and extraction plants.

Latin America

EPCM and consulting for a 400 t/d bagasse pulp and specialty paper mill, to FEL-3 readiness.

Asia

Integrated mill lighthouse and mill-wide optimization, recognised as a Global Digital Lighthouse.

If it isn't in the mass balance and the contract, it isn't impact.

Measured, not asserted

TEA and LCA from FEL-1 onward; EU Taxonomy and CSRD-ready data, GHG Scopes 1–3.

Contracted KPIs

CO₂e/t, kWh/t, m³/t, yield, OEE and safety are written into the contract and tested at commissioning.

A small core team, extended per project.

3 project managers and ~8 engineers and supervisors, plus 20–30 specialists and partner firms called in per project.
