M-ost Ltd is the official Licensee of 3S Technology.
Integrated 3S Technology & Project Delivery Model
Patented 3S Supersonic Separation technology combined with established Slovenian engineering, manufacturing and independent technical-assurance capabilities.
M-ost Ltd. (3S-MOST) is the technology provider and process-integration lead for patented 3S Supersonic Separation technology. For project implementation, M-ost works with established Slovenian engineering and manufacturing partners, combining technology expertise with engineering, equipment fabrication, testing, conformity assessment and project execution capabilities.
M-ost coordinates the technology application and project interface, bringing together specialist capabilities in process engineering, equipment manufacturing, testing, conformity assessment, integration and project execution.
This established cooperation model has already been applied to the development and production of 3S Separator equipment, combining M-ost technology with engineering and design by IBE d.d. and equipment manufacturing by KOV d.o.o. The 3S Technology can be supplied as a standalone modular separator or incorporated into complete process equipment and production skids for integration into new or existing gas-processing and gas-production facilities.
One Integrated Project Delivery Model
The 3S project-delivery model combines (4) four complementary layers of expertise:
One technology. Multiple specialist capabilities. One coordinated project structure.
01 | M-ost Ltd (3S-MOST)
M-ost Ltd. | 3S Technology Provider & Process Integration Lead
Technology provider | Process integration | Project coordination
M-ost Ltd (3S-MOST) provides the patented 3S Supersonic Separation technology and coordinates its application within the customer’s process.
M-ost’s role includes, but not limited to:
3S technology application
Technology evaluation
Process studies
Thermodynamic and mass-balance calculations
3S process and P&ID inputs
3S Separator specifications
Equipment specifications
Procurement coordination
Production stewardship
Manufacturing supervision & stewardship
Technical coordination
Assembly and commissioning coordination
Overall 3S project interface
M-ost therefore acts as the technology and process-integration interface between the customer, engineering organization and manufacturing partners.
M-ost coordinates an established European engineering, manufacturing and technical-assurance network, combining its patented 3S technology with the specialist capabilities required to deliver project-ready gas-processing equipment and process packages.
IBE d.d., Ljubljana, Slovenia, provides established engineering capabilities for the development and integration of 3S Technology into complete industrial process systems.
Based on the project material, IBE’s engineering scope can include:
Basic and detailed engineering
Civil engineering
Mechanical engineering
Electrical engineering
Instrumentation and control engineering
Process and utility design
3D modelling
General arrangement drawings
P&IDs
Isometric drawings
Material take-off and bills of material
Equipment specifications
Vendor inquiries and equipment evaluation
Structural and pipeline calculations
Technical reports
ATEX studies
HAZOP participation and support
Engineering documentation
Certification and conformity-assessment coordination
IBE’s role is particularly important where the 3S Separator is developed into a complete process skid or integrated gas-processing installation, rather than being supplied as an isolated item of equipment.
IBE’s documented quality system includes ISO 9001 certification.
IBE can develop the engineering documentation according to the applicable project standards and codes, including but not limited to EN and/or ASME requirements, epending on the customer’s specifications, project location and applicable regulatory framework:
Subject to the applicable project requirements, regulatory framework, design basis and the agreed scope of the respective engineering, manufacturing and conformity-assessment organizations.
03 | Slovenian Manufacturing Base
EU Manufacturing Partner | Equipment Manufacturing
Slovenian Manufacturing Base | Lean & Flexible Manufacturing | Made-to-Order Equipment & Skid Integration
M-ost (3S MOST) works with an established Slovenian manufacturing base providing flexible fabrication, machining, welding, equipment assembly and process-equipment integration capabilities for 3S Technology projects.
The manufacturing structure is intentionally lean, responsive and project-oriented, making it particularly suitable for made-to-order 3S Technology / 3S Separator equipment, prototype and pre-series work, application-specific components and modular process systems.
Depending on the project requirements, available capabilities include:
Pressure equipment fabrication
Steel fabrication and welding
CNC and mechanical machining
Bespoke and made-to-order components
Mechanical assembly
Process-equipment fabrication
3S Separator manufacturing
Skid fabrication and assembly
Equipment integration
Workshop testing and inspection
Preparation for transportation, installation and commissioning
The manufacturing base can accommodate individual equipment items, small production runs and project-specific assemblies, allowing the manufacturing approach to be adapted to the technical requirements and quantities of each project.
This flexibility is particularly valuable for 3S projects, where equipment is frequently application-specific rather than mass-produced and may require adaptation to customer specifications, process conditions, local standards or project-specific engineering requirements.
3S Separator & applicable equipment can be engineered and manufactured according to the applicable project requirements and agreed design basis, including EN, ASME, GOST or other applicable standards and codes, where appropriate.
Previous 3S manufactured equipment by KOV includes pressure equipment designed for natural gas / LPG applications, with documented conformity under Directive 2014/68/EU (Pressure Equipment Directive / Module G unit verification) and application of EN 13445 requirements.
04 | Independent Specialist Bodies
Welding Institute | Independent Technical Assurance
Institut za varilstvo Ltd. (Welding Institute), Ljubljana Slovenia, provides specialist capabilities in welding technology, materials and weld testing, non-destructive testing, certification and pressure-equipment conformity assessment.
Welding Institute operates accredited laboratories and certification activities covering areas including welding, NDT, welded products, welding procedures and pressure equipment. Its certification organization VARCert operates as an EU Notified Body for applicable pressure-equipment conformity-assessment activities.
Its laboratories provide destructive and non-destructive testing of materials, welds and permanent joints, including mechanical testing, metallographic examination, chemical analysis and NDT methods.
For applicable 3S projects, such independent technical capabilities can provide an additional layer of testing, inspection and conformity assessment within the overall project-delivery structure.
The documentation associated with the existing 3S Separator demonstrates conformity assessment under Directive 2014/68/EU (Pressure Equipment Directive), including Module G unit verification, with the identified manufacturer.
The documented conformity assessment identifies VARCert / Institut za varilstvo as the relevant certification body and Notified Body No. 2042 for the applicable scope: Institut za varilstvo / Welding Institute
3S Technology — From Technology to Industrial Application
