Industrial Chemicals
Advanced simulation in the industrial chemicals industry provides key benefits by optimising production processes, enhancing safety and improving product quality. By simulating chemical reactions, fluid dynamics and heat transfer, we can help to design more efficient systems that maximise output whilst minimising energy consumption and raw material usage, leading to cost savings and more sustainable operations. Additionally, engineering assessment allows for the identification of potential hazards, enabling the design of safer plants with improved risk management strategies. Overall, our engineering design and simulation services enhance the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of chemical production processes.
We have experience applying engineering services to a wide range of equipment in the industrial chemicals industry, including:
- Boilers, pressure vessels and shell-tube heat exchangers (to ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 2, AS 1210 or similar).
- Reformers, distillation columns, condensers/evaporators and economisers.
- Crushers/rollers, pulverisers, storage bins and conveyors.
- Reactors and mixers.
- Hydration tanks, sedimentation/filtration tanks and storage tanks/containers (to API 650, API 653 or similar).
- Flue gas chimneys/stacks (to ASME STS-1, CICIND, IS 6533 or similar).
- Fans/blowers and ventilation.
- Hydrocyclones, centrifuges, sorters and pumps/compressors.
- Process piping/valves and ducting (to ASME B31.3, AS 4041 or similar).
- Support structures/foundations.
Engineering Design
Analysis driven design solutions that minimise capital and operating costs and maximise service life.
Advanced Simulation
Leading edge engineering analysis accurately visualises and quantifies problems leading to the development of optimised solutions.
Vibration & Fatigue Analysis
Correlating measurement with virtual testing allows vibration issues to be identified and fatigue life to be determined.
