How we deliver conceptual design

A structured engineering approach that takes your process idea from initial requirements to a technically and commercially viable concept.

01

Understand

We begin by understanding your product, capacity, raw materials, process requirements, site constraints and project objectives to establish the design basis.

02

Develop

Our process engineers develop the process route, BFD/PFD, mass & energy balance, preliminary equipment sizing, utility requirements and conceptual plant configuration.

03

Evaluate

We review the concept for technical feasibility, process risks, equipment requirements, resource utilization and preliminary project economics, identifying opportunities for optimization.

04

Deliver

We provide a clear conceptual engineering package, preliminary CAPEX, equipment requirements and project recommendations to support the next stage of investment and engineering.

Why Cheminsight for conceptual design

Engineering you can build on - defensible, integrated and accountable.

Code-compliant

Designed to the applicable international and Indian codes, with HAZOP-driven safe design throughout.

First-time-right

Calculations and drawings that survive independent, third-party review - fewer changes at site.

Multidiscipline

Eleven engineering disciplines in-house and co-located - no gaps, no subcontracting hand-offs.

Concept to commissioning

One accountable partner from the first study through to a plant that actually runs.

Industries

Where we apply conceptual design

We adapt conceptual design to the codes, safety and quality demands of each sector we serve.
