Process Design & Engineering

Get the fundamentals right before steel is ordered

The most expensive mistakes in an ammonia-urea project are made early: an over-optimistic feasibility case, a technology chosen on licensor marketing rather than plant realities, a flowsheet that cannot run at the turndown your gas contract demands. We bring four decades of operating and engineering experience to the front end of your project, so the design that goes to EPC is one your operators can actually run.

What we cover

• Process design and engineering for ammonia and hydrogen plants
• Project feasibility studies, from screening estimates to bankable cases
• Technology evaluation and selection across licensors and configurations
• Due diligence for acquisitions, investments and lender reviews
• Green and low-carbon ammonia concepts: electrolysis-fed synthesis, CO₂ capture retrofits, flexible-feed designs

Typical deliverables

• Process flow diagrams and heat & material balances
• Technology comparison matrices with capex, opex and risk positions
• Feasibility study reports with production and energy estimates
• Utility summaries: steam, cooling water, power
• Independent due diligence findings and red-flag registers

When to engage us

Earlier is cheaper. The best time is before a licensor is selected or a FEED contract is signed, when an independent view still has room to change the outcome. We also step in mid-project to review a licensor package or referee competing designs.
