TERMINAL FACILITIES
PROCESS possesses a staff of highly qualified process engineers willing and able to provide process design and process safety services to owners of terminal facilities. Storage, shipping, and receiving of gases or liquids is both safe and efficient if done correctly. Doing so involves a few basic issues: removing certain contaminates such as water, compressing/pumping/boosting the material to the next facility, appropriately storing/metering/blending materials, and receiving/shipping of materials by truck or rail. PROCESS is able to provide a number of key services to this market.
OUR SERVICES
Many of our standard services and deliverables apply to Terminal facilities. Some of these include:
-
Conceptual process design basis development

SPECIALTY TERMINAL FACILITIES
PROCESS also has experience with ammonia pipeline terminals utilizing cryogenic refrigeration systems to minimize boil off losses. For one client, PROCESS developed special tank farm heat leak models to accurately predict material losses which must be annually reported to the EPA. So, whether the terminal is storing natural gas, crude, transmix, gasoline, diesel, or some other product, PROCESS can help.
PIPELINE PROJECT AND FACILITY SERVICES
Transportation of gases or liquids over long distances is both safe and economical if done correctly. Doing so involves a few basic issues; removing certain contaminates such as water, brine, solids, etc., compressing/pumping/boosting the material to the next facility, and appropriately storing/metering/distributing/blending materials upon arrival at the final terminal destination. PROCESS is able to provide a number of key services to this market, most commonly associated with above ground facilities such as pump stations, booster facilities, terminals, etc.
PROCESS’ staff is comprised of highly qualified process engineers willing and able to provide process design and process safety services to pipeline owners/operators and engineering companies involved in pipeline related project work.
