Continuous Safety Improvements
Otto Simon • July 23, 2021
With all of the controls that working through a global pandemic has required, it would be easy to overlook the day-to-day things that we need to do to stay safe, especially in high hazard industries.
At one of our client’s COMAH sites during the pandemic, Otto Simon introduced an improved Emergency Management System to better enable us to manage our people in the event of an incident on site.
This was proved to work brilliantly when a minor incident on site required us to account for all of our teams. All of our personnel were accounted for in double quick time, allowing us to confirm to our client that our team was safe long before other contractors of a similar size. Otto Simon will now be introducing this improved Emergency Management System across all of our sites.
With the majority of staff now returning to work, we should all consider reviewing and testing our emergency planning procedures, and going over the Toolbox Talks to ensure everyone knows what their part to play is in the event of an incident on site.
Otto Simon is dedicated to embedding safety into our culture, and strives to work safely at all times. In the past eighteen months we have successfully adapted to delivering projects for our clients in line with COVID-19 regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees and clients, and will continue to do so as certain restrictions are lifted.

This year we celebrated our year of successes and lessons learnt at the Stanneylands, Wilmslow. Topics included how we have streamlined our, reducing business overheads and making our collaboration more efficient. Specific attention was paid to the successes of the projects we have delivered over the last year and the consolidation of the team into our new headquarters. Ferrostatics proudly shared their highest year of revenue and strong performance, with a promising year to follow. We have also reviewed key team changes, including the expansion of the engineering team and restructuring of our Sales team. We look ahead to 2026 with confidence, fresh focus and further passion to deliver leading engineering expertise and customer service!
Aerbio and Otto Simon have been jointly shortlisted as finalists for the IChemE Global Awards 2025 in the Biopharma category. Our entry, Clean Protein: Engineered for a Resource-Constrained World, showcases the research and engineering efforts being the development of Proton™, a protein-rich single-cell biomass produced using a novel aerobic gas-fermentation process, utilising hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide as feed gases. This project has demonstrated the feasibility of producing a sustainable, high-quality protein ingredient at pilot scale, with applications in aquaculture and animal nutrition today, and the potential to expand to food-grade applications in the future. The technical challenges of this work have been considerable. Designing and operating a continuous fermentation system with hydrogen and oxygen in flammable ranges required rigorous safety engineering: hazard studies, CFD modelling, ATEX compliance, and functional safety analysis were all critical. With no commercial-scale precedents to draw upon, designs were developed from first principles and validated through lab-scale experimentation and pilot-plant data. Despite the added complexity of international collaboration during the COVID-19 pandemic, the project successfully delivered a first-of-a-kind pilot facility, generating essential data to enable scale-up to demonstration and commercial scale. The outcome speak for itself: Proton™ contains over 70% protein with a complete amino acid profile, delivers strong results in digestibility and extrusion trials, and has already shown positive performance in aquaculture and poultry feed applications. It can be produced with a fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions and water use of conventional proteins, while requiring no arable land and supporting biodiversity by reducing reliance on fishmeal and soy. This nomination recognises the strength of our cross-disciplinary partnership, combining microbial fermentation expertise with advanced process design, safety engineering, and scale-up know-how. Together, we are laying the foundations for a scalable, climate-positive protein platform that can contribute to global food security while reducing environmental impact. We look forward to the awards ceremony later this year and to continuing our journey towards commercial deployment of this disruptive technology. Learn more about the project: - Aerbio website
