About ONB Engineering

Specialist engineering for complex technology decisions.

A focused process-engineering consultancy supporting technology development, scale-up, preliminary engineering, optimization, and independent technical analysis.

Company profile

From technical uncertainty to a traceable engineering basis.

ONB Engineering Research & Technical Services, LLC is a specialty R&D and consulting firm working across chemical, energy, oil and gas, mining and critical-mineral, and manufacturing systems.

ONB helps industrial technologies move from concept toward deployment through process and reactor modeling, digital twins, scale-up analysis, FEL studies, equipment definition, techno-economic analysis, sustainability analysis, due diligence, and optimization.

The firm has completed more than 25 R&D projects for global clients, including startups, universities, government agencies, investors, and industry. Case studies and references are available upon request.

Principal engineer & managing director

Omar M. Basha, Ph.D., P.E.

Dr. Basha leads ONB Engineering and supports technology developers, manufacturers, and investors with process modeling, reactor engineering, scale-up, preliminary engineering, techno-economic analysis, and technical decision support.

His technical focus includes process and reactor modeling, multiphase reactors, hydrocarbon processing, carbon capture, thermochemical conversion, scale-up feasibility, cost analysis, and the translation of research results into practical engineering plans.

Selected publications and technical work are available through Google Scholar and professional profiles; additional project references can be provided subject to client confidentiality.

Working principles

Rigorous enough to trust. Practical enough to use.

Traceable assumptions

Inputs, data sources, uncertainty, exclusions, and limitations are documented so the work can be reviewed and updated.

Fit-for-purpose detail

Analysis is matched to the project stage and decision, avoiding both oversimplification and premature design detail.

Knowledge transfer

Deliverables are organized to help the client understand the model, engineering basis, conclusions, and next actions.
