Chemical Process

At ESi, our engineering consultants have broad experience in all aspects of chemical processes, including process design and development, risk assessment, and hazard analysis. We have expertise in troubleshooting operations and investigating near misses and catastrophic incidents. 

Our experts have direct experience in facilities for oil and gas production and transport, including petroleum refineries and offshore platforms. We have addressed complex challenges in chemical process and specialty chemical plants, and we have provided actionable recommendations for manufacturing sites that handle hazardous substances, as well as for healthcare facilities and laboratories. 

We have experience with processes to produce and use solvents, polymers, paints, and adhesives, along with expertise in both industrial and consumer chemical applications. 

Our team conducts process hazard analyses and risk assessments for new and existing operations. In our laboratories, we evaluate chemical reactions to provide data to develop safety systems. Our engineers use their process knowledge and incident investigation experience along with state-of-the-art computer modeling to determine the circumstances that led to an incident and to find root causes of incidents.  

This expertise can provide third-party input for risk assessments and incident investigation or provide expert witness support for litigation arising from incidents involving chemical processes or products.
