modular process plants

Modular constructed process systems are complete, skid-mounted production plants, pre-fabricated in a workshop environment. They are compact and require minimum field work to connect to your production plant. Modular engineering and construction are time and cost-efficient and find a growing interest in many industries. The assembly of a process module includes the assembly of the steel structure, the installation of equipment, piping, valves, field instruments and junction boxes and the electrical wiring. A factory acceptance test is carried out before transportation to site.

Advantages of modular engineering and construction:

Single point responsibility:

Only one supplier for the entire process plant which reduces interfaces and project management effort on customer’s side.

Reduced plant site interruption:

Due to very short commissioning and start-up time, the impact on existing operations (in case of plant expansion or modification) can be minimized. Modular construction helps to improve site safety and reduces production interruptions.

High quality:

The entire process plant is manufactured in a clean workshop environment with short engineering-construction interfaces and standardized engineering, fabrication and installation methods. A qualification test is carried out prior to delivery.

Shorter delivery times:

Building a skid-mounted unit in a workshop environment reduces the delivery time to a minimum. A typical timeframe for a complete process skid from purchase order to shipment is about 8-10 months including all design and engineering work.

Lower overall investment costs:

Compared with on-site construction a workshop manufactured process plant is up to 25% less expensive. In addition, the price for a modular process plant is usually fix.

Flexible plant location:

Modular plants are well suited for remote locations and can easily be relocated to another location if required at a later time.

Sea container size possible:

Modules in container size result in lower shipment costs.
