Process Engineering

Process engineering covers a large area of design, operation and maintenance in production and manufacturing companies, including chemical and mechanical engineering. Monitoring and maintaining processes and equipment can become costly. Understanding methods to monitor and analyse equipment can lead to more effective running costs and reduce downtime from repairs.

Through analysis and data-logging equipment various machine operations can be monitored. These include:

• Vibration analysis of systems
• Temperature analysis
• Leakage from processes
• Monitoring flow rates of gases or liquids

Monitoring and maintenance has become an extremely important part of process engineering for many companies. New measurement equipment has enabled a cost effective way of being able to measure numerous aspects of manufacturing equipment to ensure their smooth running. Maintenance and repairs can be carried out at a convenient time. No more waiting for a machine to fail before realising there was a fault.
