Whether it’s a new refining plant, a major revamp, or an existing asset optimization, we use our knowledge and expertise to plan for every situation, now and in the future.

As the global demand for petrochemical products continue to grow, particularly from developing economies, the producers face the challenges of processing, on-stream reliability, feedstock availability, product quality, and energy efficiency. New technologies are emerging to provide a solution to meet this demand for Aromatics, Olefins, and LAB.

We focus on those challenges while exploring refinery and petrochemical integration and alternate feedstock sources. We also seek potential optimization routes and replacement of catalyst/absorbent to improve the efficiency and maintain the competitiveness of existing plants.

Design

"We use state-of-the-art computer modeling tools to evaluate and recommend refinery configurations."

From the early planning stage, we help our clients in the design and development of their refining plants to achieve the best return on investment while minimizing the environmental impact.

We have vast experience in state-of-the-art LP modeling, process modeling, and quantitative risk modeling, we develop configuration plans that enable our clients to reduce the investment risks by minimizing the capital investment and operating costs, while maximizing revenues.

We evaluate and recommend configurations that focus on higher value products, such as naphtha or aromatics versus gasoline production, new crude slate or increased diesel production options.

We ensure that the proposed solution is optimized from every important aspect including economic returns, operability and the flexibility to deal with future changes.

Construction & Commissioning

"Streamlining roll-out to complete and deliver on-time."

Together with our partners, we offer a complete suite of on-site and support services to get our clients’ plants up and running.

Our experienced projects management team can help the clients achieve faster project execution by supervising and coordinating the efforts of all the involved parties during the construction and commissioning stages. Including the evaluation and selection of engineering, construction, and operator companies, and material procurement and supplier’s selection.

Operations & Optimization

"We help producers meet growing demand, increase product revenues, improve processing efficiency, and utilize alternate feedstocks."

As capacity needs, product slates, and product specifications evolve, we evaluate existing operations and recommend changes to maximize the use of our clients’ plants.

Whether it’s meeting diesel demand in developing countries, responding to octane needs and diesel sulfur reduction, upgrading heavy fuel oil, or maximizing profits from underutilized plants, we have a unique knowledge in modifying existing assets, via revamp or catalyst change to achieve the required results, thus minimizing initial and overall investment costs.

We benchmark the critical aspects of the clients’ operation and we compare it with the industry standards and determine the areas for improvement such as: throughput, yields, operational practices, process technology implementation and catalyst loadings.
