Our areas of expertise include process design  engineering, project scope development, process simulation, equipment  specifications, environmental compliance, process flow diagrams  (PFDs)/process and instrument diagrams (P&IDs)development, equipment optimization, and process start-up.Texas Petro Process’s process team has expertise across unit operations including reaction, distillation,heat transfer, absorption/adsorption, crystallization, slurry handling, centrifugal separation, degassing,filtration, extrusion, and material handling.Program development, PHA/HAZOP facilitation, pressure relief device (PRD) sizing and validation, P&IDs verification and updating, and procedure writing are just a few of our process safety management capabilities.  

We recognize our clients’ commitments to the safety of their processes, and we team withthem routinely on sizing new pressure relief devices (PRDs), validating existing PRD installations,evaluating vent and flare headers, and designing knockout drums for relief systems.  The Texas Petro Process engineering team has extensive experience in preparing detailed mass andenergy balances for both chemical and petroleum refining facilities. 

 We know that design basis documents are critical in the alignment of the client and engineering firm expectations and requirements, so they are prepared for each key process element and piece of equipment to ensure alignment, meet project goals, and reduce rework. Design capacity, heat duty, operating philosophy, flow rates, temperatures, pressures, stream compositions, utility requirements, physical property data, and materials of construction are representative of what is included.   

 The process engineering team primarily uses HYSYS, PRO/II™ or Aspen Plus to conduct process simulation  studies. For hydraulic pipe flow modeling, we use AFT Fathom™, AFT  Arrow™, SiNet, and PIPE-FLO. For flare header analysis, we are  experienced in using Aspen Flare System Analyzer, and Visual Flare. For  process safety management, we use PHA-Pro 7, PHA Works, and Hazard  Review Leader.
