Services
Process Engineering
Our process engineering services optimize chemical and industrial production systems. We develop custom process designs, conduct feasibility studies for process scale-up, and implement safety improvements. Using material and energy balances, we create detailed PFDs and P&IDs to ensure regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. Clients benefit from reduced downtime, minimized change orders, and accelerated construction timelines through our phased approach that aligns design with operational constraints.
Feasibility Studies
We conduct comprehensive front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies to validate project viability. Our analysis includes material balances, equipment sizing, and layout optimization integrated with laser scanning data. These studies identify technical feasibility, resource requirements, and cost estimates to inform go/no-go decisions. Clients receive actionable data that reduces project risk premiums by 30-40% and prevents costly construction changes through early-stage engineering validation.
Relief System Design
We design pressure relief systems that protect against overpressure events in industrial processes. Our engineers perform PHA/HAZOP analyses, calculate MAWP requirements, and create compliant documentation following OSHA 1910.119 and API 520/521 standards. Deliverables include P&ID updates, mechanical construction packages, and bid documentation that ensure system reliability while reducing downtime risks through proactive safety engineering.
Mechanical Engineering
Our mechanical engineering covers pressure vessel design, fluid flow modeling, and piping stress analysis. We create detailed equipment specifications for reactors, heat exchangers, and compressors while ensuring ASME code compliance. Using advanced simulation tools, we optimize system performance for extreme conditions including high pressures and non-Newtonian fluids, delivering installation-ready packages that minimize field verification requirements.
Laser Scanning
We capture facility data using high-precision laser scanning technology to create accurate as-built 3D models. These digital twins serve as foundations for process modifications, enabling clash detection and constructible design before physical implementation. The technology supports offsite prefabrication and reduces measurement errors by 95%, ensuring field installations match design specifications with millimeter-level accuracy.
