We Design, Debottleneck , Enhance Equipment and Process Performance
As a first step, we understand the customer’s expectations, issues, pain areas, objectives and constraints very clearly. We believe that the equipment performance can be enhanced by thorough understanding of the process and the operation of the equipment. The process could be extremely complex like polymerization, gas-liquid-solid slurry reactor operating at high temperature and high pressure. Understanding of the process and customers pain can help to lead to the root cause of the issue and hence model the physics of the cause. For example, wide distribution of molecular weight of the polymer chains could be due to inefficient mixing. The inefficiency of the liquid-solid catalytic reaction could be due to improper solid suspension.
The next step involves the selection and application of various tools and techniques based on the nature of the problem statement.
