DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES

DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION TO SERVE PROCESS INDUSTRIES

Austin has engineered and constructed more than 1.5 million feet of piping – including piping at the highest pressures and temperatures.

Our in-house process engineering team’s expertise and specializations include: 

  • Research and development bench scale
  • Pilot plants
  • Full production plants (brownfield and greenfield)
  • PHA participation
  • Process piping
  • Utility piping
  • Air separation and hydrogen plants
  • Pipe stress analysis
  • Liquids handling, loading and unloading
  • 3D design
  • 3D design utilization in the field
  • Structural analysis and design
  • Modularization
  • Equipment and process integration

Those specialties are incorporated into our full-service engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project delivery approach, which provides you with a single source of accountability and responsibility from our process engineering consultants.

TEAM EXPERIENCE
• Grassroots plant and facilities to produce the world’s highest purity fused silica glass, including implementation of new technology and moving from R&D to production scale.
• Plant expansion for 20 million pounds per year of acetic acid-based esterification product for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food.
• Chemical production complex: 100 process projects over a six-year period, including caustic storage tanks, phosgene reactor projects, and CR39 optical resins plant.
• Grassroots NGL liquids handling, storage and railcar loading and unloading facilities at a fractionation plant.
Addition of a SBU and cat cracker unit (CCU) to handle heavy crude at a refinery.
• A pilot plant, commercialization plant and greenfield production plant for a world-leading specialty chemicals producer, including implementation of new process technology.
• Restructuring of TDA production facility, which improved plant on-stream factor from <40% to over 90% and raised production by 30% through debottlenecking.
• Plant expansion to add production of stable isotopes used in medical testing. Project included complex chemical reactions and need to maintain tight operating conditions within and surrounding the distillation columns.
