When you’re planning a complex manufacturing project, you need confidence that your investment will pay off and your project can be executed smoothly. Feasibility studies address key concerns, such as technical feasibility with up-front engineering, overall compatibility with a detailed review of instrumentation and equipment, and whether a process will fit into your existing infrastructure with laser scanning.
Whether you’re assessing new processes, reviewing equipment options, or evaluating project scope, a feasibility study ensures you have the right information to make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.
Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) studies transform project concepts into actionable designs. During a FEED study, we identify potential risks and clearly define the project scope. Each study is customized to align with your specific project goals, budget constraints, and timeline, and it sets the stage for smooth and efficient project execution, minimizing the likelihood of costly changes and rework.
Material and energy balances are foundational to the design of any industrial process, serving as the blueprint for accurate equipment, piping, and instrumentation specifications. We take on the heavy lifting with minimal input to deliver detailed balances. As tempting as it is to skip this step, particularly on existing process upgrades, we strongly recommend taking a pause to verify process flow details, ensuring your existing infrastructure can fully support the process changes.
We specialize in turning innovative concepts into practical, executable plans. Our novel process studies focus on assessing the feasibility of processes that lack precedent, ensuring they can be achieved within your budget and operational constraints. We bring extensive experience in handling unique challenges, such as processes involving high temperatures, pressures, viscosities, or hazardous materials.
Pressure vessel calculations serve to verify the structural integrity and safety of vessels under a variety of operating conditions. Our detailed calculations consider factors such as pressure, temperature, and material properties to ensure that your pressure vessels are designed to withstand the demands of your specific process. By validating vessel design against industry codes and standards, we help prevent catastrophic failures to extend the life of your process.
Design feasibility is crucial for determining whether a proposed process can be integrated into your existing facility. We assess the practicality of fitting new equipment and processes within your current space, exploring various layout options to find the best solution. We work with all stakeholders to ensure that all equipment and piping is positioned with efficiency, maintenance, safety, and accessibility in mind. By addressing potential design challenges early in the project, we help you avoid costly rework and ensure a smooth implementation.
Our utility studies analyze the facility’s utility requirements, ensuring that all necessary resources—such as water, steam, and compressed air—are available and used efficiently. We assess current and projected demands, identify potential bottlenecks, and recommend system upgrades or optimizations to meet future needs. This helps to prevent resource constraints that could hinder production or lead to downtime.
Our feasibility studies are not one-size-fits-all. We customize each study to align with your specific project goals, budget constraints, and timeline. This flexibility ensures that we focus on the most efficient critical path to reach the conclusion critical to moving on to the next phase of your project. Whether you’re looking to further develop your project scope to an actionable level of detail or looking for a robust FEED study with detailed engineering and implementation resources, our goal is to help you set your project up for success.
