Process Engineering
Process design, simulation and optimisation that sets the performance of everything built downstream.
Process Engineering at Specx
Process engineering defines what a plant can do: its yield, its energy consumption, its safety envelope and its environmental footprint. We develop process schemes using steady-state process simulation, check them against operating realities, and document them in the form the rest of the project needs.
For existing plants we carry out process audits, debottlenecking studies and energy optimisation, using plant data to find capacity and efficiency that is already paid for.

Questions about process engineering
Can Specx deliver process engineering as a standalone service?
Yes. Process Engineering can be engaged on its own, or combined with our other engineering services into a single EPC or turnkey contract.
What information do you need to quote for process engineering?
Typically the process description or licensor data, capacity, site location, applicable codes and standards, and the expected schedule. Our engineers will help define anything that is not yet fixed.
