Are you always confident that your process designs are safe to operate?
Are you sure that proposed process changes will integrate fully with your existing processes and equipment?
Do you find it hard to find process engineering support that is flexible and considerate of your valuable time?
ABB provides technical and engineering services to improve performance in the areas of compliance, operations and engineering to customers in the chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, power and pharmaceuticals industries worldwide.
Process engineering is at the heart of all process industry operations: delivering safe, efficient and environmentally sustainable operations. Good process engineers play a vital role in improving operations business performance and managing risk; supporting all parts of the operations lifecycle.
A good engineer needs a very broad experience to independently investigate, analyse and provide pragmatic solutions for everyday operational problems. Good engineers also need to provide safe and compliant designs for new projects and plant modifications. Increasingly they are difficult to find, train and develop.
