Process / Chemical Engineering

Efficient. Compliant. Field-Tested.

PDV's process and chemical engineering team designs and optimises production systems for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. We work across evaporation, drying, and powder handling systems, from concept through to commissioning, with a focus on safety, hygiene, and energy efficiency.

Key Areas of Expertise

  • Process modelling and simulation

    We use CFD, thermal modelling, and mass balances to test and validate process performance. This lets you compare options and confirm designs before committing to detailed engineering.
  • Process and equipment design

    We design the systems and equipment behind your process, from evaporation, drying, and powder handling through to vessels, reaction systems, and heat transfer equipment. This gives you a plant built around how your product actually behaves.
  • Process safety, compliance and risk review

    We manage combustible dust, hazardous area, and chemical handling risk, and facilitate HAZOP and design reviews. This keeps your process safe, compliant, and ready for sign-off.
  • Energy and water efficiency

    We identify opportunities to reduce energy and water use across your process. This lowers running costs and supports your sustainability targets.
  • Process optimisation and expansion

    We help you get more from your existing plant, through debottlenecking, capacity increases, and new product introduction. This extends the life of your assets without unnecessary capital spend.
  • Commissioning

    We commission new and modified systems to confirm they perform as designed. This ensures a smooth handover with minimal disruption to your operation.
