About TVP Service

BRISEA Technology Validation & Prototype (TVP) Service offers end-to-end prototyping services for environmental applications including water, air, and solid waste treatment to clients, as well as helping clients navigate the patent landscape for new product ideas then aid in the development of unique product concepts based on available opportunities.
BRISEA integrates the parts/modules and process of ideas from clients in the lab into a tangible product that is practical and real. By translating the theory of research into practice, the development of environmental disciplines into practical applications can be further developed. Prototype design services of BRISEA will allow the clients to not only test concepts using a physical product, but also to practically evaluate and enhance design quickly and easily.
In addition, BRISEA TVP team specializes in assisting clients to navigate the competitive landscape for new product ideas then aiding in the development of unique product concept of clients based on available opportunities.
In summary, BRISEA TVP has the strength, the resources, and the technical expertise to provide services that will comprehensively address clients’ needs. This statement of qualifications provides information demonstrating the BRISEA TVP available technology validation and prototyping services.

Prototype Services

BRISEA TVP offers a full spectrum of environmental prototyping services and has extensive experience in multi-disciplinary design and engineering. BRISEA has qualified and experienced professionals in all engineering disciplines including environmental, civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and control, corrosion, chemical and sanitary engineering. These individuals have participated in the design, engineering and preparation of detailed plans and technical specifications for a multitude of projects.

Through BRISEA’s long involvement with environmental industrial and governmental projects, BRISEA TVP has gained extensive experience in instrument fabrication from small devices to large constructions. BRISEA TVP has the ability to manage major engineering and fabrication projects that may entail state-of-the-art designs, stringent licensing requirements, environmental restrictions and other compliance requirements.

It is BRISEA’s expectation to work with clients to ensure that the work meets each and every requirement of client for the specific project. BRISEA TVP communicates directly and frequently with clients through a single project manager who is responsive for total communication. This project manager acts as a single point of contact and is backed up by the BRISEA TVP project team of highly qualified individuals to ensure that clients are provided with the highest quality, cost-effective service available.

BRISEA stands firmly and complies strictly with written contract and NDA agreement with the clients on IP information and confidential information client provided to BRISEA.

There are four service lines that BRISEA TVP department provides. Each of the projects is customized to meet the clients’ requests.

Scaled Model of Concept

BRISEA TVP can optimize the design and build models of client’s prototypes without functionality to provide a basis of understanding for the appearance, size, shape and ergonomics of client’s product, as well as to display it for conferences and shows. For larger structures, BRISEA TVP can also assist in providing scaled models. (1/100, 1/200 or any customized scale)

Proof-of-Concept Prototypes

BRISEA TVP provides prototypes built based on lab-scaled experimental setup with real functionality in instances where clients may already have lab-scaled experimental setup and are looking for a means to validate the mechanism behind their technology. Proof-of-concept fabricated by BRISEA TVP are 3D printed or Computer Numerical Control (CNC) etched and assembled. To do so, the lab experimental setups (e.g., tubing and beakers) could be highly integrated into one system with the same or improved functions and a more professional layout. This would help the clients identify and challenge assumptions by small exercises to test the real-world potential of developing ideas and demonstrating whether they are feasible. In another word, A proof-of-concept shows if a product, feature or system can be developed, whilst a prototype shows how it will be developed.

Pilot Fabrication and Test

BRISEA TVP provides co-create solutions for complex challenges that clients are trying to tackle. BRISEA TVP can provide a functional pilot-scale system used to validate the complete design. In addition, BRISEA TVP provides services to build, assemble, and test clients’ technology with customized electronics and mechanical parts. Pilots are often used as the first stage of a new product introduction for clients and are the more accepted norm in governmental projects.

Demonstration Project

BRISEA TVP service also includes demonstration projects for clients to validate fully commercialized designs before proceeding to full-scale manufacturing. The demonstration could be a pilot or a minimum viable product (MVP). By testing the essential core of concepts (rather than the full solution) with real users in practice, the clients would be able to find out early on if there is an actual adjustment needed and show case the technology for future marketing efforts at the same time.
