FRONT END ENGINEERING DESIGN
Front-end engineering and design cover mechanical data sheets of the main equipment, starting from the process specifications issued during the BED and incorporating the specific requirements of codes and standards to be applied to the project in question. It also includes:
- Thermal rating of heat exchangers
- Preparation of tender packages for the main equipment
- Development of process and utility piping and instrument diagrams released for detail engineering
- Development of detailed plot plans and hazardous areas
- Elaboration of the main piping, instrument, electrical and civil works layouts
- All the studies to be performed before ordering the main equipment
Our FEED capabilities enable us to offer innovative solutions in process simulation, process design, design optimisation and performance guarantees. We have undertaken concept studies, advanced simulation (steady-state, dynamic and transient), process design, FEED development and verification, performance improvement studies, de-bottle necking and troubleshooting of process units for a wide variety of oil & gas facilities
Our core competencies include:
- Technology evaluation and selection for optimum plant performance
- Advanced modelling and rate-based simulation, column hydraulics
- Process optimisation for plant revamp and modernisation
- Thermal design and rating of heat exchangers
- Energy optimisation using pinch technology
- Flare radiation & dispersion analysis, stack sizing
- Design optimisation using CFD, flow assurance studies and dynamic simulation
- Material selection for process piping, pipelines and equipment
- Corrosion rate prediction and solutions for mitigation.
