CEI’s chemical engineering process engineers have many years of experience in the design and operation of manufacturing processes. Diversity of experience is an asset in bringing new, creative solutions to your process-engineering needs. Backgrounds in areas as diverse as specialty chemicals, high-performance metals, pigments and dyes, glass, plastics, cement, minerals, and others mean that our process engineers have seen many operations and many ways to solve processing problems. All this experience translates to better solutions to your processing requirements.

The process engineers provide value through the following activities:

  • Conceptual process design, including
    • early identification of equipment options
    • early cost analysis, both operating and capital
  • Evaluations of alternative processes and equipment
  • Scale-up designs
  • PFDs (process or block flow diagrams)
  • Mass and energy balances (also known as heat and mass balances)
  • P&IDs (piping and instrument diagrams—often the most important project documents)
  • Relief-device and relief-piping sizing and design
  • Process-hazard analysis (CEI is skilled in the What-If and HAZOP techniques)
