Our experience can save you time and money in the determination of appropriate analytical methodologies, training, instrument specification and procurement, definition of appropriate test points, process control and record definition.
QUALITY THAT LASTS!
Beginning as an internal consultant to major industrial gas companies, Process Systems Consulting developed as a resource for environmentally responsible process alternatives.
We have honed our skills through our work in process and field analysis, waste and energy use minimization, and design of improved gas processing systems. Safety systems and operator training are also an integral part of our services.
PROJECTS - some examples
Fortune 500 Company
Problem: Poor economics for a medium-level product contaminant removal prevented development of potential new sources of the product.
Solution: Basic research found a potential removal mechanism. Bench-scale and pilot tests were developed to determine the economics and feasibility of the process.
Results: An economic process was developed, allowing flexibility in sourcing the product. Improvements made by Process Systems Consulting to the process resulted in a 40% reduction in operating costs due to elimination of expensive catalysts.
Fortune 500 Company
Problem: This company needed to obtain reliable and representative samples of a process by-product for the development of a re-processing plant. The by-product stream was not contained or controlled, so standard sampling methods were inappropriate.
Solution: An onsite visit to the plant was made, and an appropriate sample collection and retrieval system was designed and built.
Results: The sampling system allowed the continuous extraction and analysis of the by-product stream. Its portable design let it be used in subsequent studies at other sites. The reliable ability to obtain a representative sample continuously allowed the use of on-line analysis, reducing the stream characterization and qualification time from two months to two weeks.
Independent Small Business
Problem: Competition for alternative energy sources makes landfill gas utilization more expensive for this company.
Solution: We expanded the potential market base from energy to industrial solvents, coolants and cleaners by utilizing new technology for economic recovery of the carbon dioxide by-product.
Results: Use of smaller landfills is economical, avoiding competition with large energy-production companies.
