Your reactor, made legible.
A live twin of CarbonBridge's stacking modular reactor, wired to what MESSAI can actually do for you. Move the stack; the data, models and economics follow.
Digital twin CH₄ → CH₃OH Scale by stacking Illustrative
Drag to rotate. Each plate is a self-contained chamber with its own gas inlet; the stack scales by adding plates.
Illustrative Demo digital-twin estimates, not validated CarbonBridge data. The method is real; the numbers are placeholders until your bench data is ingested.
Not a four-equal-features pitch. One thing is ready now, one is a build worth doing, and one is squarely yours. We won't pretend otherwise.
Turn your bench data into ground truth
Every reactor run captured as a provenance-tracked, calibrated record: conditions structured, uncertainty attached, comparable across the team. "Which conditions gave our best runs, and why" becomes a query. Your ARPA-E and investor claims get defensible intervals instead of hopeful point numbers.
Doesn't need our corpus. It's our method on your data.Rank your feedstock sites
You deploy where the waste gas is. We model the biogas landscape and can fuse it with facility data (EPA CWNS, DOE AgSTAR) into a ranked, characterized site map: flow, methane fraction, contaminants, so units land where the feedstock supports them.
A build, not off-the-shelf. We'd scope it to one region first.Your reactor, strains & science
Strain performance, gas-liquid mass transfer, the hardware breakthrough: that's your edge, and we have no data on it. We won't claim to predict your reactor better than you can. We organize and calibrate around your science; we don't replace it.
Naming this is the point. Trust beats overreach.Each layer touches a real part of the reactor. Select one to highlight it in the twin above and see what MESSAI brings. Everything recomputes from the current stack size and feedstock.
Feedstock intelligence
MESSAI · wastewater / AD surfaceCarbonBridge sources the biogas that's flared today. Pick an archetype and the twin re-solves for its gas composition. MESSAI hands back a ranked, characterized site map so units land where the feedstock actually supports them.
Not a bare number: the full contract with calibrated uncertainty. The method transfers today; the methanotroph forward-model is a build on your data. Within-design sensitivity is the honest differentiator. Cross-paper precision is not oversold.

Your moat is lowest cost + carbon intensity. The twin runs a Process-TEA pass on every configuration; watch it improve as the stack grows. Methodology transfers; a methanol-specific model is a build, and it competes with GREET-class tools. We'd earn this one.
This is the one that's ready now, and it needs none of our corpus. A reactor run comes off the bench messy; MESSAI lands it as a trustworthy, queryable record. The right card is the current twin state, structured the moment you touched a control.

| Source | Waste biogas | We map and rank the sites. |
| Convert | Your reactor | Your modular direct-gas stack. |
| Product | Low-carbon methanol | Marine-fuel grade output. |
| Predict | Modeling + TEA | Calibrated output, cost, carbon. |

- All output, cost and carbon-intensity figures are illustrative digital-twin estimates from a transparent demo model, not validated CarbonBridge performance data.
- The demo model is simple by design: methanol output scales as 2.4 kg/day per plate × (CH₄ fraction / 0.60); CI is ±16 %; carbon intensity falls 0.9 gCO₂e/MJ per plate from 31 to a floor of 18; levelized cost starts at $1.92/kg and drops $0.055/kg per plate to a cap of $0.62; module CAPEX is $4.8k per plate.
- Numbers become real only once your bench data is ingested through MESSAI's provenance-tracked pipeline.
- Strain performance, gas-liquid mass transfer and the hardware are CarbonBridge's science. We have no data on them and do not model them.
