Process development and design

Is your organisation configured to deliver new process designs?

Do your staff have experience in delivering significantprocess changes?

Are you looking for a process engineering organisation with operational experience?

ABB Consulting has the capability to undertake process design from conception to commissioning for customers in the chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, power and pharmaceuticals industries worldwide. We also provide technical and engineering services to improve performance in the areas of compliance, operations and engineering. Good process engineering helps deliver safe, efficient and environmentally sustainable operations. Good process engineers play a vital role in developing projects, ultimately improving business performance and positively affecting all parts of the project and operational lifecycle.

Developing new process designs, whether greenfield plant or revamps of existing assets, is not routine for many operational organisations. A successful design will harness the experience of an operating company and designer to ensure safe and compliant operations that deliver profit to the operator.

At ABB, we work in partnership with our customers, building on their experience, but leaving them free to deal with day to day issues of operating their existing assets, whilst we take care of the delivery of the design work.

CapabilitiesABB has the capability to deliver process engineering design from concept through to detailed design, across a range of industry sectors including:

− Oil and gas − Petrochemicals − Intermediate chemicals manufacture − Syngas − Utilities − Pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals

We have a strong team of process engineers with a broad range of design and operational experience.

We have particular expertise in:

− Concept development − Process option generation and development − Process option costing

With a particularly strong track record in cut and carve projects on existing assets. However, we are also able to undertake process design in the later stages of a project including:

− Front End Engineering Design (FEED) − Detailed design − Commissioning and site acceptance tests

ABB also offers a complete multidiscipline engineering solution for more complex projects and to move the project concept to completion.

Our experienceABB has a heritage in development and design and our staff have a thorough understanding of the operational issues that face manufacturing organisations. This has been gained by our engineers working on live assets for part of their careers. Our engineers have experience in many different sectors and are familiar with codes, practices and plant operations which give them knowledge and understanding of how to develop process improvements throughout manufacturing industries.

BenefitsABB’s approach to the process design cycle is well proven and has benefitted clients over many years. When engaging ABB for development of your process design, you can be sure that you will:

− Save time and money by minimising re-work at later stages of the project

− Be confident the design is being developed impartially. We are independent of technology suppliers

− Be able to provide input to the project process whilst we work closely with our clients to ensure the project aims are met

− Remain free to concentrate on day to day plant issues − Benefit from ABB in house cost estimating tools and
