Process Engineering

From PFDs and P&IDs to equipment specs and risk workshops—process engineering that improves throughput, safety, and operability.

PROCESS SOLUTIONS THAT MOVE THE NEEDLE

We deliver comprehensive process engineering services to optimize your operations and ensure efficient, safe, and cost-effective outcomes.

Our team bridges process design, risk facilitation, and field troubleshooting so owners can pivot quickly when throughput targets shift.

We model complete process trains so upstream changes, utility demands, and downstream constraints stay visible to every stakeholder.

Whether you are designing new capacity or incrementally squeezing more throughput, we pair simulation fidelity with field-proven practicality.

PFDs, P&IDs, heat/mass balances, equipment specs

Hydraulic calculations and fluid systems design

HIRA workshops, process risk, and FFS evaluations

Service Area: Serving Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, Langley, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and throughout the Lower Mainland, BC.

SERVICES & CAPABILITIES

Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)

Detailed process flow diagrams that illustrate the major equipment and process streams in your facility, providing a clear overview of the process design.

We capture utility interfaces, control philosophies, and operating envelopes so every discipline works from the same blueprint.

  • Scenario modeling for expansion, turndown, and contingency cases
  • Utility and energy balances tied directly to equipment lists
  • Revision control that tracks decisions across disciplines

Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)

Comprehensive P&IDs that detail all piping, instrumentation, and control systems, providing accurate documentation for construction and operation throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC.

Our drawings include instrument tagging, line lists, interlocks, and shutdown logic to streamline construction and commissioning.

  • ISA-compliant symbology and tagging standards
  • Interlock matrices and cause/effect charts
  • Coordination with electrical, mechanical, and control system packages

Heat and Mass Balance Calculations

Detailed calculations that optimize energy usage and material flows, supporting efficient process design and operation throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC.

We translate simulation results into operating curves so operators understand the safe, optimal window for every unit.

  • Steady-state and dynamic simulations
  • Utility demand forecasts for steam, power, and cooling
  • Design cases covering startup, shutdown, and upset scenarios

Process Equipment Specifications

Complete specifications for process equipment including vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, and other critical equipment.

We connect datasheets to procurement packages, expediting material selection and vendor alignment.

  • Datasheets and design criteria for rotating and static equipment
  • Package integration requirements (mechanical, electrical, controls)
  • Inspection and test plans coordinated with QA/QC teams

Process Optimization Studies

Comprehensive studies to identify opportunities for improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing process performance.

We turn study outputs into implementation roadmaps that account for budget, outage windows, and operating risks.

  • Debottlenecking workshops with cross-discipline facilitation
  • Digital twin and simulation scenarios to test investment pathways
  • Prioritized recommendation matrix with payback and risk scoring

Hydraulic Calculations & Fluid Systems

Industrial hydraulic analysis and piping and pump system calculations for plants, packaged skids, pumping systems, piping networks, and fire sprinkler systems throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC. We provide full specification packages for flammable and cryogenic fluids, plus firewater hydraulic modeling aligned with NFPA and API codes.

Our analysis flags pressure drops, NPSH constraints, and surge events before equipment hits the field, supporting operational risk mitigation and hydraulic system safety assessment.

  • Pipeline sizing, pump curves, and valve selection reports
  • Relief, blowdown, and flare system evaluations
  • Firewater and foam system modelling aligned with NFPA/API codes

Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA)

Industrial risk assessment and HAZOP facilitation services for oil & gas, pulp & paper, mining, municipal, power generation, and building projects throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC. We provide process safety risk management through facilitated HIRA workshops, project risk reviews, and technical problem-solving sessions.

We capture action trackers, mitigation plans, and ownership so findings move straight into execution, supporting regulatory compliance and operational safety.

  • LOPA, HAZOP, and What-If facilitation
  • Bow-tie diagrams and safeguard mapping
  • Regulatory-ready documentation packages

Fitness-for-Service (FFS)

Senior engineers evaluate the structural integrity of assets and components to confirm suitability for continued service using best-practice industry codes and standards.

We blend process, mechanical, and materials expertise to determine repair, replacement, or run strategies.

  • API 579 Level 1/2 assessments
  • Remaining life calculations tied to inspection data
  • Repair recommendations coordinated with fabricators

Operational Readiness & Troubleshooting

Operational readiness and facility startup support services throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC. Our process engineers provide commissioning, tuning, troubleshooting, and documentation support during startup and early operations. We provide process troubleshooting and industrial operational readiness services to help facilities achieve smooth startup and optimal performance.

We translate lessons learned into standard operating procedures so gains are locked in, supporting ongoing operational efficiency and safety.

  • Commissioning plans, punch lists, and operator training
  • On-site troubleshooting for rotating equipment and control loops
  • SOP and alarm response development for operations teams
HOW WE PARTNER

Every study culminates in practical guidance for operators, maintenance leads, and leadership teams so improvement projects keep their momentum long after the workshop closes.

We provide clear ownership, timing, and KPI tracking so recommendations live on as actionable roadmaps rather than static reports.
