Services Provided
Process Engineering Associates, LLC (PROCESS) was formed in January 1996 to provide process design, engineering, and safety services to any and all of the processing industries. Our concept was to specialize only in process engineering and hire only chemical engineers. This unique focus has allowed us to attract and retain some of the best chemical engineering talent available anywhere. PROCESS' personnel are experienced, highly-motivated chemical engineers with track records of significant achievement in the process engineering field.
PROCESS offers only chemical process engineering services, but we apply our process engineering capabilities over a wide range of industries - chemicals, petroleum, waste treatment, alternative fuels, nuclear materials, power generation, and more. We also provide services to many traditional full service engineering firms. PROCESS has experience in providing a wide range of Process Engineering Services, including the following items.
