OUR EXPERTISE

Process engineering

Where chemistry meets commerce

Process engineering at Lydium is the craft of transforming laboratory discoveries and innovative ideas into commercially-ready process technologies. It requires deep understanding of chemistry, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and physical properties, combined with practical knowledge of equipment, safety, and economic constraints.

Our process engineering capabilities:

  • Flow sheet development: From conceptual block diagrams to detailed P&IDs with full mass and energy balances
  • Equipment selection: Sizing and specification of reactors, separators, heat exchangers, pumps, and process auxiliaries
  • Process optimization: Identifying bottlenecks and efficiency improvements using first principles and simulation
  • Trade-off studies: Compare competing flow sheet options from a technical, complexity, and economic perspective
  • Control system design: Process control philosophy and instrumentation strategies for automated operation and data collection
  • Scale-up strategy: Systematic approach to moving from lab scale through pilot to demonstration implementation
  • Engineering drawings: Professional process design documents (BFD, PFD, P&ID) Hazard analysis: HAZOP and other PHA methodologies facilitated by a trained external expert
  • Hazard analysis: HAZOP and other PHA methodologies facilitated by a trained external expert

Specializations:

  • Continuous solid-liquid reaction systems
  • Pressurized systems
  • Hydrogen handling
  • Hazardous gas handling
  • Inorganic chemical synthesis
