Process Engineering
The technical core of every plant — from process concept to operating performance.
Process engineering defines what a plant does and how well it does it. Our process engineers develop the process concept, set the design basis, size the equipment and verify performance — turning a client's objectives into a safe, efficient, operable and compliant facility.
We work across energy, waste-to-energy, oil & gas, chemicals and food & beverage — on novel technologies (flash pyrolysis, advanced gasification, carbon capture) and conventional plant alike. Whether you need a single process specialist to strengthen your team or a fully integrated multidiscipline scope, we plug in at the right level.
What we deliver
Process concept & options selection
Heat & mass balances, process simulation
Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) & P&IDs
Equipment sizing, datasheets & specifications
Line sizing, hydraulics & relief philosophy
Design basis & process performance studies
Utilities & balance-of-plant definition
Operability, efficiency & emissions optimisation
Across every project phase
How process engineering contributes at each stage of the lifecycle — and connects to the disciplines and delivery functions around it.
FEED
Design basis, PFDs and P&IDs, equipment sizing and datasheets, line sizing and relief philosophy, utility balances feeding the multidiscipline FEED.
Detailed Design
Issued-for-construction P&IDs, vendor data review and process input to layout, stress, EC&I and civil packages.
Construction
Process technical queries (TQs), field support, change control and as-built reconciliation.
Commissioning
Operating procedures, commissioning sequences, performance test procedures and acceptance criteria.
Operations & Maintenance
Debottlenecking, performance and emissions optimisation, lifecycle upgrades and operational troubleshooting.
Where this capability is applied
Process engineering looks different in each sector: combustion and steam cycles in power; thermal conversion and gas clean-up in waste-to-energy; separation and custody transfer in oil & gas; reaction and major-hazard control in chemicals; and hygienic, batch and blending processes in food & beverage. Our engineers bring the right sector context to your process.
Single discipline or integrated scope
Engage process as a single discipline to supplement your team, or as the lead discipline that sets the basis for mechanical, EC&I, civil/structural, process safety and pressure-systems design within an integrated JCMCE scope. Either way, the same governance spine keeps deliverables, obligations and decisions traceable.
