Our ex­perience is multi-national, with engineering studies conducted across Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, South America and the U.S. Through our in-depth knowledge of the petroleum and petrochemical industries, we have achieved great success in waste reductions, recycle/reuse and source stream control, optimization of wastewater treatment plants, hazardous waste treatment and disposal, and loss control of valuable hydrocarbons and other products.

We have provided engineering studies and services for refineries, distribution sites, chemical plants and oil/gas production sites worldwide. The work has focused extensively on assisting the operating facilities in achieving cost saving goals regarding water consumption, wastewater generation, solid waste generation, product losses to the sewers, flare gas losses and steam losses, among others. Our process experience allows us to identify much of the potential savings mainly by examining process-related source control opportunities.

Our hands-on professionals have the equipment and expertise to troubleshoot source reduction or treatment problems, including sampling and analysis, recom­mending plant modifications, conducting pilot plant testing, and conducting unit performance tests. Our engineering expertise makes us ideally suited to conduct technology evaluations and plant optimizations, and to take advantage of cross-business technology synergies.
