Process Engineering Consulting

Chillers. Distillation. Debottlenecking & Optimization.

Independent process engineering consulting, right-sized for small-to-mid scope projects — conceptual design, feasibility studies, Basic Engineering Packages, debottlenecking, and process optimization for chillers, distillation, and industrial process systems. No project is too small or too big.

What We Do

Full-scope process engineering, six core services

Independent consulting built on the same core discipline — mass and heat transfer — applied wherever a plant needs to run more efficiently, more reliably, or in compliance.

Process Design

Process Design & Feasibility

  • Conceptual / preliminary process design (FEL-0 / FEL-1)
  • Feasibility studies & technology screening
  • Capacity evaluations & revamp studies
  • Basic Engineering Package — PFD, P&ID, M&EB, equipment specs
Scope a design package →
Chiller Systems

Chiller Design & Compliance

  • New chiller system design & equipment selection
  • Capacity & efficiency debottleneck studies
  • R-22 phase-out compliance roadmaps (2030 deadline)
  • Retrofit vs. replace economic analysis
Discuss a chiller project →
Distillation & Separations

Separations Troubleshooting

  • Continuous & batch distillation column troubleshooting and debottlenecking
  • Vacuum distillation, solvent recovery, product purification
  • Process simulation & feasibility studies
  • Control system & operating window optimization
Discuss a separations issue →
Operations Support

Debottleneck & Process Optimization

  • Plant-wide capacity & efficiency audits
  • Startup support & process troubleshooting
  • Operating procedure development
  • Owner's engineer / bid specification support
Scope an optimization study →
Simulation

Process Modeling & Simulation

  • Unit operations design (CHEMCAD, Aspen, HYSYS)
  • Piping system hydraulics
  • Relief system sizing & evaluation

Process Safety

Process Safety & Relief Systems

  • PHA / HAZOP facilitation
  • Relief valve sizing

How Projects Are Scoped

Right-sized engagements, full rigor

Whatever the technical focus, engagements are structured around clear, deliverable-based stages — so you know exactly what you're getting and when.

Single-System Studies:

A one-off troubleshooting call, a single debottleneck study, or a narrowly scoped design task — engaged and delivered on its own, no larger contract required.

Full-Package Engagements:

Conceptual design through a complete Basic Engineering Package, handled end-to-end by one engineer who stays on the project from first call to final deliverable.

Engagement Model

How we work

A straightforward three-phase engagement, scoped to the size of the problem — from a single free assessment call to a full design package.

01

Assess

Site audit, exposure study, or troubleshooting call to define the real problem and its cost — before any capital is committed.

02

Design

Engineering analysis, equipment selection, and specification — sized, documented, and ready for procurement or bid.

03

Implement

Bid support, owner's engineer oversight, and startup/commissioning assistance through to a running, compliant system.

Why CryoVault Consulting

An independent engineering partner

Direct Engineer Access

You work directly with the engineer on your project — not an account manager or junior staff — from the first call through final deliverable.

No Project Too Small or Big

A single debottleneck study gets the same rigor and attention as a full Basic Engineering Package — sized to fit, never cut short.

Practical Plant Experience

Real-world process engineering experience brought to bear on troubleshooting, startup, and optimization problems that don't show up in a textbook.

Free Consultation

Free 30-minute process engineering consultation

A no-cost 30-minute call to talk through your process challenge — chiller systems, distillation & separations, debottlenecking, R-22 compliance, or general process optimization. No obligation, just clarity on scope and next steps.
