Process Industries Corporation (PIC)
provides process/mechanical engineering services in a
wide range of areas particularly a plant’s utilities:
air, water treatment, steam distribution, and
condensate recovery. Our experience in these areas
comes from over 35 years in the design, engineering,
fabrication, and installation of skid mounted systems:
- heat exchangers
- process pumps
- CIP
- chemical injection
- reverse osmosis
- water filtration and ion exchange
PIC offers the mechanical engineering
and design experience necessary to provide complete
package and system integration. Our mechanical
engineering expertise includes:
- Process Engineering: For each
application, PIC will perform a process analysis to
establish the basis for the design:
- Mass Flow and Heat Balance
- Required Flow rates
- Equipment optimization
- PFD and P&ID development
- Engineering, Design, and Fabrication
of skid mounted systems: Detailed mechanical
engineering and design to develop detailed fabrication
and installation drawings.
- Preparation of equipment purchase
requirements: Sizing and selection of pumps, valves
(automatic, control, & manual), field
instrumentation to allow for purchase (by either PIC
or the end user).
- Other mechanical engineering
services include:
- Pipe stress analysis of existing
piping subject to transient and impulse
conditions. The expansion of high temperature
piping can have a dramatic effect on pump
performance and process equipment connections.
Dynamic conditions such as: water hammer and
harmonic vibrations can have a major impact on
piping; resulting in premature pipe failure.
- Lifting and handling analysis:
Analysis of equipment lifting during transport
and/or installation can reduce damage incurred by
improper lifting and handling methods.
- Noise evaluation: A noise
evaluation of a skidded system to ensure that a
specified noise limit, usually 85 dba, one meter
from the edge of the skid is not exceeded.
- System pressure drop analysis. A
study of pressure drop in a piping system can
reveal pump discharge or suction problems such as
cavitation and/or inadequate discharge pressure.
- Computational Flow Dynamics
(CFD) capabilities. Simulate flow, heat transfer,
and fluid forces in real world conditions to
troubleshoot or establish optimum design
conditions.
