Company Background
The CQ Group, LLC of Mobile, Alabama is an authorized multi-disciplined engineering firm which spe-
cializes in the area of innovative process and mechanical design. Many, if not the majority, of our pro-
jects have been designs which are cutting-edge innovations new to the marketplace. Some examples
are steam heat treatment of waste foodstuffs, bio-diesel plant design, and closed system scrubbing of
power plant flue gases.
We have been in business since 2002 and have established partnerships with other firms to provide a
complete spectrum of engineering services, with the notable exception of nuclear engineering. We
have been contracted by over 70 corporate clients to produce complete and detailed engineering
designs.
We also provide ASME pressure vessel and piping design, as well as, support for fabrication shops,
construction contractors, and manufacturing facilities. Our principals have a combined 30 years experi-
ence in the design, specification, procurement, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of industrial
equipment.
TECHNICAL INNOVATION CQ Engineers have led or partnered in unique and innovative process and mechanical engineering including: PATENT-PENDING FLARE DEBOTTLENECKING TRIAL BATCH SYNTHESIS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS DRUG BIODIESEL MANUFACTURING DESIGN BIOFUELS MANUFACTURING SKID DESIGN BIOGAS SYNTHESIS PILOT PLANT DESIGN HIGH PRESSURE, HIGH TEMPERATURE VESSEL DESIGN BOILER OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL REDESIGN LOW EMISSIONS TOXIC GAS SCRUBBING PRESSURIZED DETOXIFICATION DISTILLATION COLUMN BOTTOMS PUMP RELIABILITY COMPUTERIZED HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS OF FLOWS NONCIRCULAR FLANGE DESIGN
Mechanical Engineering CQ Engineering has over 15 years of mechanical
design experience, including ASME pressure ves-
sel, API storage tank, and heat exchanger design
and analysis; boiler repair consulting; piping de-
sign and analysis; and process equipment specifi-
cation. We can provide the ASME calculations
required for U-Stamp pressure vessel fabrication
and certification. We can also provide PE
stamped calculations for Division 2 vessel and
alterations. We use both commercial software
and in-house software, as well as finite element
analysis to design and analyze vessels and pres-
sure components. Our design and analysis capa-
bilities include wind, seismic, and snow loads on
mechanical systems, as well as external loads on
nozzles in accordance with WRC Bulletin-107.
Chemical Engineering CQ Engineering has decades of experience in detailed chemical engineering, both computational and
modeling complex systems, as well as field and troubleshooting work. We use commercial software, as
well as build in-house programs for unique and unusual problems. While we do traditional chemical en-
gineering, such as creating Process Flow Diagrams, Piping & Instrument Diagrams, and Equipment
Specification Sheets, we specialize in unique and challenging problems. These include modeling the
behavior of chemical systems at extreme conditions, evaluation of material properties at high tempera-
tures and pressures, system design and handling of powdered and bulk materials, safety and hazard
evaluation of plant and process conditions, area electrical classifications, finite element analysis of
chemical and mechanical systems, modeling of heat transfer and pressure relief. We have a proven
track record of tackling problems that have been difficult or intractable in previous efforts.
WE ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DEMANDS OF WORK
SCHEDULING, PERMITS, AND PROCUREMENT. WE PRO-
VIDE A SMOOTH PROJECT INTERFACE WITH MINIMAL
DISRUPTION TO ONGOING OPERATIONS. TO HELP YOU
MEET YOUR SCHEDULE OUR PERSONNEL ARE AVAIL-
ABLE FOR SHUTDOWNS AND SYSTEM START-UP.
Instrumentation/Electrical Engineering CQ Engineering provides instrumentation and
electrical engineering design to facilities in the
fields of petrochemical, pulp and paper, power
generation, and oil refining, as well as cutting
edge technologies such as bio-fuels and gasifica-
tion. We also provide communication tower elec-
trical design and data collection platform design
and consulting.
Civil/Structural Engineering CQ Engineering can provide industrial civil and
structural engineering and design that meets cli-
ent specifications, as well as local building codes.
We also provide inspection and repair consulta-
tion on existing steel and concrete structures
within industrial facilities. Outside industrial facili-
ties, we can provide communication tower site
design and consulting.
We manage projects carefully to ensure that goals are
met within the clients expectations, and that resources
are utilized responsibly.
Because we have worked in industry as both engineers
and managers, we know that budget and schedule are
critical.
BUDGET AND
SCHEDULE
MANAGEMENT
Technical Innovation CQ Engineering continues to provide new
and unique solutions to problems that
arise as advances in technology and proc-
ess development push existing facilities
into new and uncharted areas. Through
our knowledge of existing process equip-
ment and developing technologies we are
able to provide our clients practical yet
cutting edge solutions.
Information Technology Support In addition to engineering services, The CQ Group, LLC can
provide computer and information technology support to our
clients, including system support, documentation storage and
tracking, and scheduling. We also offer weld procedure and
welder qualification record maintenance and tracking both
online and offline.
Success A client's facility had reached a critical juncture. Major equipment and even support structures were in
danger of corrosion failure. The process was very unforgiving and damaging everything around it. All
previous attempts failed to resolve the root cause. CQ Engineering was hired to redesign the process,
and to engineer major changes to the process equipment and control scheme. A first unit was retro-
fitted using our new design, and ran successfully. The clients' management was so pleased with the
success that funding for the entire facility, on the order of tens of millions of dollars, was approved on a
fast-track basis. All of the units were redesigned resulting in a clean, safer, and less expensive opera-
tion. This operating company continues to be a premier client for CQ Engineering.
We look forward to bringing our current and future clients professional and timely engineering services with the same success.
