We specialize in providing comprehensive plant improvement and process optimization solutions tailored as per client’s specific needs. A very capable and experienced team constituted with experts, earlier engaged in key positions in several refineries, leading refineries as refinery heads and also engaged as head of process design and engineering and troubleshooting of refineries are involved in the projects.

The expertise of the group includes the activities outlined below and the group is in a position to take up jobs as described next:

1. Operational optimization (involving rigorous steady state simulation studies) and identification of opportunities for quick wins and profit improvement without or with minimum capital outlay

2. Trouble shooting of process plants to resolve chronic problem of plants

3. Yield and energy optimization studies involving the following:

• Rigorous simulation studies of process plants to arrive at the best alternative for profit maximization with no or minimum capital deployment.
• Development of process schemes (including P&ID, datasheets) required for optimization of intermediate products and finished product yields and overall economics.
• Development of process schemes required for optimization of energy, like heat exchanger train optimization, reuse of very low temperature heat, overhead heat coupling, multi effect distillation and thermally cascaded distillation schemes to improve overall energy efficiency and economics.
• Lowering of fuel and loss to the minimum levels for profit maximization.

4. Capacity augmentation / debottlenecking studies of open art process units and open art section of licensed units.

5. Run length improvement of process plants/ refinery.

6. Identify changes required to incorporate to handle cheaper feeds for reducing input cost and further enhancement of profitability.

7. Hydrogen management and integration
