Integro Design Engineering Associates (IDEA LTD) specializes in providing mechanical engineering services to chemical plants in the distilling, chemical manufacturing, polymer recycling, energy, and utilities sectors. Our services include design and engineering for static equipment and pressure vessels, 2D and 3D modeling, rotating equipment sizing and selection, CAE package solutions, and mechanical integrity assessments.
What is the role of Mechanical Design and Engineering in Process Plants?
Mechanical Design and Engineering play a crucial role in the development of operation of process plant. Mechanical engineers design the layout and specifications of equipment and machinery used in process plants. This includes sizing and selecting equipment like pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, and reactors based on process requirements. Also responsible for selecting appropriate materials for equipment and piping, ensuring they can withstand the process conditions like temperature, pressure, and corrosive substances.
