The Process Department of K Home International provides experienced Process Engineers capable of undertaking all aspects of Process Design.

The department has gained a broad portfolio of project experience across the Chemical, Petrochemical, Fine Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Oil & Gas industries.

A flexible approach to engineering is offered with services ranging from provision of individual personnel on a consultancy basis to fully integrated teams of engineers for major projects.
The department has gained an excellent reputation with its clientele, which has been demonstrated by its ongoing record of repeat contracts.

STUDIES

Feasibility - Providing support to evaluate cost benefits, project programmes and risks associated with implementation of a project.

Debottlenecking - Working closely with clientele to optimise process yield and quality, and provide support to identify opportunities to improve existing plant operation.
Expansion - Identification of major process and equipment modifications to increase plant performance and throughput capabilities.

PROCESS DESIGN

Conceptual Design - Identification of feasible process routes, preparation of process flow diagrams (PFD’s), preliminary piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID’s), generation of order of magnitude project costs. Subsequent development of the design through to the sanction stage.
Detailed Design - Undertake all aspect of detailed design including PFD’s, P&ID’s, sizing calculations, specification of main plant items, relief system design.

The department operates an extensive library of modern software design tools; Intelligent P&ID’s, Process Simulation Software (HYSYS & ASPEN), Equipment Design and Analysis (TASC & ACOL), Flare System Network Design (FLARENET) and dynamic, transient and steady state network analysis software (FLOWMASTER).

SAFETY ENGINEERING

Identification of the local, national, international and corporate safety regulations and guidelines to be applied to a project. This allows a safety strategy to be developed to ensure that all requirements are satisfied for the project lifecycle. Services include: HAZOP Leadership; IPPC Studies & Environmental Guidance; COMAH Compliance; Quantified Risk Analysis; SIL Assessment; Area Classification; ATEX Compliance & Implementation; Chemical Reactor Relief System Design

PROCESS COMMISSIONING

Preparation of commissioning procedures. Provision of commissioning engineering and start-up support.

VALIDATION
