PROCESS ENGINEERING

Process Engineering & Optimisation

Practical engineering. Better operating performance.

Engineering approach

Engineering analysis.
Practical plant improvements.

Process engineering support for projects and operating facilities, covering design development, hydraulic assessment, equipment review, debottlenecking and optimisation. The focus is on technically sound changes that improve safety, operability and value.

01

Design basis

Confirm process conditions, design basis, operating envelope and the decision the analysis needs to support.

02

Process analysis

Use simulation, hydraulics and equipment checks to understand constraints, margins and credible operating cases.

03

Optimisation

Identify debottlenecking and improvement opportunities while preserving process safety and operability.

04

Engineering recommendation

Turn the analysis into clear design changes, operating recommendations and prioritised actions.

Engineering workflow

From process problem
to implemented improvement.

The work combines process simulation, hydraulic understanding, equipment constraints and operating experience so recommendations are practical for both projects and existing facilities.

01Define the problem

Establish the operating case, bottleneck, design constraint or project decision that needs to be resolved.

02Analyse the system

Assess flows, pressures, temperatures, equipment duties, hydraulics and control interactions using the level of modelling appropriate to the problem.

03Test the improvement

Check proposed changes against process safety, operability, turndown, start-up, shutdown and maintainability requirements.

04Recommend and implement

Provide a clear engineering basis for the preferred option, including expected benefit, limitations and follow-up work.
