Process Design

Safe. Efficient. Optimized for Success.

Process Design

Process Design Services

Translate process intent into design decisions.

Define how the process will work before equipment and piping details are finalized. Teckniv develops process configurations, balances, diagrams and sizing inputs for new facilities and plant modifications. The design brings capacity, operating requirements, utility demand and control philosophy into one consistent technical basis.

Who we support

Owners, technology teams and EPC contractors that need the process configuration, equipment duties and operating philosophy defined before mechanical and layout design progresses.

01 / Engineering capabilities

Capabilities shaped around your project.

The scope is agreed around the decisions, interfaces and engineering outputs your team needs. These work areas can be combined into a defined package.

Process configuration

Evaluate process routes and define the sequence of operations, major equipment and utility connections. Establish the operating cases that govern the design.

Balances and diagrams

Develop material and heat balances, process flow diagrams and P&IDs. Make equipment, stream and control information consistent across the documentation.

Sizing and technical data

Prepare process equipment and line-sizing inputs, datasheets and relief or flare-system engineering information. Coordinate design conditions with downstream disciplines.

Operability and improvement

Develop control philosophy and operating inputs, support HAZOP reviews and assess energy use or capacity constraints. Incorporate agreed findings into the process documents.

02 / Your engineering package

Clear deliverables. Ready for the next team.

The deliverable list is agreed at the start. Each issue identifies its purpose, revision and outstanding inputs for the next project stage.

  • Process configuration and design basis
  • Heat and material balances
  • Process flow diagrams and P&IDs
  • Equipment sizing notes and datasheets
  • Control philosophy and operating inputs
  • Process review actions and design updates

03 / How we work

A clear route from requirement to handover.

We establish the design basis first, then develop and review the package with your project team.

  1. 01

    Agree the requirement

    Define the process objectives and operating cases.

  2. 02

    Develop the package

    Develop the configuration, balances and equipment requirements.

  3. 03

    Review & coordinate

    Review control, operability and safety interfaces.

  4. 04

    Issue & hand over

    Issue coordinated process documents for the next design stage.

04 / The technical context

Aligned with your facility and requirements.

The equipment duty, project location and client standards determine the methods, platforms and acceptance criteria.

Industries & applications

Oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, power and water treatment systems. Work can cover a new process, utility system, revamp or capacity enhancement.

Software & digital delivery

Process calculations, simulation where required, and PFD/P&ID drafting support the design. The required software, model handover and document formats are agreed against the process scope and the client’s engineering environment.

Standards & design basis

The process basis captures operating and design cases, safety requirements and relevant equipment and piping criteria. HAZOP and operability findings are incorporated into controlled process documents as the design develops.

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to common scope and coordination questions.

What information is needed to size process equipment?
The required information depends on the equipment, but normally includes duty, flow, composition, operating conditions and design cases. Missing inputs are identified before sizing is finalized.
Can process design support a capacity increase?
Yes. The study should assess the process and utility constraints around the increase, rather than only enlarging individual items of equipment.
What operating cases need to be considered?
Normal, minimum and maximum duties are defined alongside relevant start-up, shutdown and upset conditions. The selected cases depend on the process and determine equipment duties, control requirements and safeguarding inputs.
Will changes to feed or capacity affect the whole design?
They may affect balances, equipment sizing, utility demand, relief duties and control requirements. The affected documents and interfaces are reviewed before the revised basis is issued.
