Process Engineering Department

2. What does your department do? What is your Unique Selling Point?
Typical activities include:
Process Plant Design – both new plants or upgrades to existing facilities
Consultancy (e.g. Concept Studies, Safety, Risk Analysis, Energy Reduction, Calculations)
Troubleshooting on existing plants – e.g. issues with equipment performance, plant capacity
Process modelling – using software e.g. Hysys
Specification of process equipment, control requirements etc.
Process Safety – Hazard Studies (Lead & Contributor); SIL Determination
Often “book-end” projects:
initial specification and design (beginning)
commissioning (end)

3. What are you currently working on? Any project highlights?
Process control projects for GSK – we produce the DDS documents which are used for control system configuration and testing
Several concept & front end design projects for AWE – this is a relatively new client however we are building a good relationship and hope to gain more work in the future
Process design on multi-disciplinary projects for DSM being delivered from HO
Approx. 12 people based on sites providing PE support – DSM, GSK Irvine/Montrose/Worthing

4. What are your future ambitions for your department
What are your future ambitions for your department? What is on the horizon?
Delivery of multi-disciplinary projects from head office – we have done a few of these and would like to do more
Continuing high value process consultancy
With digitalisation on the rise, we see an opportunity for us in specifying the correct/optimum use of meaningful data to improve plant performance
We have recently added a new software tool, Spike, which we hope will help with the specification of process control & automation requirements

5. How do you plan to embrace the new E, C & I theme?
Innovation is already key to what we do – coming up with sometimes novel solutions to customers’ problems
We plan to run some in-house “training” delivered by our senior engineers, to share knowledge and experience within the department
Work more/better with other departments – know who and when to ask for help
