PROCESS ENGINEERING:

PATFIO is ready to join your project team as a contract process engineering company to assist with the various phases of project development. Having teamed with corporate engineering staffs and many EPC/EPCM firms worldwide, PATFIO is familiar with project delivery practices and the interaction required with a multi-disciplinary project team. If you’re preparing a pre-feasibility / feasibility study or commencing with design of a plant, PATFIO can provide technical expertise to ensure rapid completion of the upfront process design phase. Follow this work into commissioning to confirm plant performance meets established performance criteria.

Process Design Packages

Before undertaking detailed engineering work, project efficiency is greatly improved by fully characterizing the process to be designed. Full project definition early in the work process ensures key performance requirements for the plant are documented in a Process Design Package consisting of the following:

• Process Flow Diagrams

• Process Design Criteria

• Process Narrative Description

• Process Safety Narrative

• Mass and Energy Balances

• Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams

• Equipment Performance Datasheets

The above are often accompanied by a steady-state and/or dynamic process model, which is provided as part of the complete package. Completion of a hazard review at this stage also ensures critical safety-related devices/systems are included in the design at the earliest phase. A Process Design Package is useful when bidding detailed engineering to ensure the project scope has been thoroughly defined.
