The 2008 financial crisis kick started a paradigm change in the Chemical industy towards plant engineering and operations.

​

Fast forward to 2020, irrespective of the quarterly reports showing earnings and revenue up, Chemical companies are at a tipping point with pressures within the industry growing rapily. The rapid growth cycles driven by emerging economies are fading out. While operational efficiency measures and performance enhancements will continue to deliver some gains, they won’t be gamechangers. 

​

Being an asset intensive industry, the challenges for this sector range from:

• Transition to a Circular Economy​

• Increasing capital productivity

• Scale digital & analytics in engineering, operations and asset performance

• Transform supply chains

​

The focus of Confiance services and solutions is to enable our Chemical customers to:

• Drive more standardisation between plants

• Converting operational data to actionable insights

• Reduction in overall Batch Time Cycle (Batch Process), Improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (Batch Process), Capacity De-bottlenecking/Through-put Increase, Waste minimisation, Utility Generation/Distribution improvement, Improved Process Safety, Utility/Energy cost reduction, revamping unit operations

• Revamping unit operations: filtration, crystallisation, mixing , distillation, absorption, extraction, drying, heat transfer in stirred vessels

• Feasibility Study & Revamp – Distillation System (Batch & Continuous)

• Scrubber System Revamp (Recovery & Compliance)

• Process Automation (through Instrumentation & Controls) – Batch & Continuous

• Study & Revamp Utility Distribution Network (Batch Process)

• As-build – PFD/P&ID/Layout (Based on hand mark-ups)

• Laser Scanning & 3D Modelling
