Process Engineering Support
Chem-Engineering Services supplies process engineering design and plant simulation for a wide
variety of process applications, including component material and energy balances, based on dozens
of Equation-of-State methods with thermodynamic options tailored to fit the process.
Plant Process and Utilities Equipment Design
Chem-Engineering Services supplies clients process engineering services for replacement or new
equipment designs to meet plant objectives of improved capacity, higher efficiency and greater
reliability.
Plant Performance Assessment
Chem-Engineering Services supplies clients process engineering services to evaluate equipment
operating performance, which provides management with up-to-date documentation of equipment
capability and supports plant improvement studies.
Heat Exchanger Design, Evaluation and Ratings
The Heat exchanger is the backbone in chemical plants, requiring periodic assessment of mechanical
integrity and adequacy to meet plant product needs and efficiency. Sometimes replacement heat
exchangers are economically justified when frequent mechanical failures occur or to achieve higher
plant capacity or efficiency. Chem-Engineering Services supplies clients performance appraisals of
existing heat exchanger equipment, as well as new designs to meet plant objectives.
Furnace Combustion & Convection Coil Design, Evaluation and Ratings
Chem-Engineering Services offers its clients process engineering support for furnace and convection
section evaluations and upgrades using its in-house developed Heat-r-Rate-r software. This
software was developed to solve problems with furnace coil fouling, excessive pressure losses,
inadequate heat transfer and define capacity limitations and to supply new components to restore or
improve plant capacity and efficiency.
Plant Trouble-Shooting
Plants frequently have problems with equipment operation that they cannot solve on their own, due to
limited resources or experience. Chem-Engineering Services provides its clientele process
engineering support in resolving equipment operating and reliability problems in areas of unexplained
losses, deterioration of efficiency and changing equipment performance.
Plant Expansion Design
All plants have limited capability, due to equipment sizing. When plant expansion is needed, it is
necessary to evaluate the operating facility and assess what equipment is inadequate to meet
expansion needs and the most cost effective way to improve production. Chem-Engineering Services
supplies production improvement studies.
Process Improvement Project Engineering Support
Process improvement refers to technologies that improve plant efficiency. Such projects may include
new catalyst technology, optimized replacement equipment with higher efficiencies and new plant
features with advanced approaches.
Plant Economics
Each plant site has its unique requirements, defining acceptable criteria for project approval. Some
projects may aim to improve reliability, while others may focus on higher plant efficiency or
production. Chem-Engineering Services offers clients process engineering support with economic
analyses of project alternatives using modern net present value and discounted cash flow techniques.
Equipment Specification
Replacement or plant improvement equipment requires specifications for vendors to present clients
with proposals for supplying the equipment. Chem-Engineering Services supplies equipment
specifications for many types of process equipment used in plants.
Vendor Inquiry and Selection
Chem-Engineering Services offers clients support of inquiry of equipment from acceptable vendors,
including bid-tabulation and technical and economic assessment.
Catalyst Design, Selection and Procurement and Problem Solving
Chem-Engineering Services supplies process engineering services for performance appraisals of
chemical reactor catalysts, and provides technical reviews and comparisons of vendor proposals,
enabling clients to make an informed choice for new or replacement catalyst.
Process Flow Diagram and P&ID Development
Chemical plants need regular updating of process flow diagrams and process and instrument
diagrams with changes resulting from executing projects involving plant improvement.
Chem-Engineering Services provides its clients with engineering design and support of necessary
PFD and P&ID changes.
Equipment Sizing and Selection
Plant upgrading involving improving capacity and efficiency requires the sizing and specification of
replacement and new equipment to meet the goals of the project. Chem-Engineering Services
supplies specifications to its clients to obtain bids from vendors to complete the project.
Instrumentation and Control Support
When new instrumentation is required for plant projects, Chem-Engineering Services can assist
clients in its preliminary design and selection.
Plant Optimization
Plant operating efficiency and capacity utilization present complex problems for sites.
Chem-Engineering Services can provide assistance to clients to focus operating conditions of plants
toward optimal conditions for profitability.
Operations and Maintenance Support
Equipment failures from overload, abnormal operating conditions and operator error are regular
issues facing all chemical plants. Chem-Engineering Services can assist plant sites with upgrading
equipment that causes downtime and aid operating personnel with raising plant reliability.
Hazop Team Support
Hazop reviews of plant facilities are required as a part of renovation and upgrade projects.
Chem-Engineering Services can assist clients in conducting these reviews by support as an expert
process engineering participant for certain processes and facilities.
