Development of process heat and mass balance through equipment selection and optimization to maximize production and minimize energy requirements.

Safe disposal of fluids in an emergency situation is an essential part of any process plant design. Hence flare systems are considered safety critical. We do Flare System Analysis to ensure back-pressures, velocities, momentum, flare tip radiation, and low-temperature material design constraints are all met.

Individual unit operation assessments to help improve performance and ensure business demands are being met.  This can range from traditional vessel, valve and pump sizing/costing through to more advanced analysis to study local heat, mass, and momentum effects.

Dynamic simulation of a process plant behavior to better understand the effects of failures and the ability of the design to safely address these failures.

Development of digital models which reflect the as-built condition of chemical and process plants to identify performance and profit improvements.  These can be developed into Digital Shadows and Twins with the capability of updating set-points through DCS to realize improvements and business performance.

Different combinations of instrumented and mechanical overpressure protection systems exist in all process plant designs. Vessel and piping design reviews, relief valve sizing and selection to the requirements of API 520/521/526, and reliability assessments of instrumented systems under IEC61511 are all necessary to ensure the system is suitably protected.
