Mechanical Engineering

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.

Static Equipment & Pressure Vessels

We provide design and engineering services for all type of static equipment design eg Distillation columns, Vessels, Tanks, Heat exchangers and Reactors as per standard code and practices (ASME SEC III, ASME VIII Div1, 2 & 3, PD 5500, API 650, BS, EN 13445, TEMA etc). Safety review of pressure systems following principles laid out by PED and PSSR.

Equipment Layout

2D & 3D Modelling using CAD packages to aid visualisation, equipment schedule, optimisation and digital twin philosophy.

Rotating Equipment

Sizing and selection of rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, turbines), preparation of datasheets, specifications, material requisition and vendor documentation review.

CAE Packages

We have access to licensed software packages ANSYS, PVElite to provide engineering solutions for complex designs.

Mechanical Integrity Assessments

Our mechanical engineers design systems keeping in mind safety standards and regulatory compliance, including pressure vessels and safety relief systems. Carrying out mechanical integrity assessments on assets in order to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals.

Key elements of Mechanical Design and Engineering include:

  • Design and Planning:

    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.

  • System Integration:

    Involves integrating various mechanical systems into a cohesive operation. This includes the design of piping systems, material handling systems, and the integration of mechanical components with electrical, control, and instrumentation systems.

  • Material Selection:

    Selecting appropriate materials for equipment and piping, ensuring they can withstand the process conditions like temperature, pressure, and corrosive substances.

  • Safety and Compliance:

    Safety is a paramount concern in process plants. Mechanical engineers design systems keeping in mind safety standards and regulatory compliance, including pressure vessels and safety relief systems.

  • Quality Assurance:

    Implementing systems to maintain quality control and ensure consistency throughout the project lifecycle.
