Specialized Chemical Engineering Consultancy Services for Process Industries

SUVI CHEM Consultancy Services provides independent, practical, and technically sound chemical engineering consultancy to help industries improve process performance, resolve operational challenges, and achieve safe and compliant operations. Our services are focused on real plant conditions and are tailored to the specific requirements of each client.

Process Troubleshooting

SUVI CHEM Consultancy Services supports process industries in the systematic investigation of operational deviations that affect yield, product quality, plant throughput, and energy performance. The troubleshooting methodology is strongly based on actual plant data, historical operating trends, and field observations rather than theoretical assumptions alone. We work closely with operations and technical teams to identify bottlenecks, unstable operating conditions, and performance gaps between design intent and real operation. Structured root cause analysis is carried out using DCS trends, laboratory reports, equipment behavior, and review of control strategies to uncover hidden inefficiencies such as fouling, maldistribution, or inappropriate parameter settings. 

Scope

  • Analysis of process deviations related to yield, quality, throughput, and energy consumption
  • Identification of bottlenecks and unstable operating conditions
  • Root cause analysis (RCA) using plant data, trends, and operating history
  • Review of operating practices, control strategies, and process parameters
  • Support for process stabilization and sustained performance

Applications

  • Repeated quality deviations or off-spec production
  • Unexplained yield or throughput losses
  • Frequent process upsets and instability
  • Start-up, shutdown, or post-modification operational issues
  • Performance gaps between design intent and actual operation

Value to Customers

  • Faster identification of true root causes
  • Reduced production losses and downtime
  • Improved process stability and reliability
  • Practical, implementable corrective actions

Better understanding of process behaviour.

Process Optimization

SUVI CHEM Consultancy Services focuses on optimizing plant performance through practical, data-driven engineering analysis—without compromising safety, reliability, or product quality.

We work with real operating data to identify losses, eliminate bottlenecks, and optimize energy, yield, and throughput using proven chemical engineering fundamentals, not generic recommendations. We help plants optimize Energy & utilities (steam, power, cooling water, fuel), Reactors (yield, selectivity, conversion), Equipment performance (Distillation Column, heat exchangers, pumps, reboilers).

Our process optimization studies typically deliver Reduced energy and utility consumption, Increased throughput and capacity utilization, Improved product quality and yield, Stable, predictable plant operation, Clear cost savings with defined payback.

Scope

  • Evaluation of existing process performance and operating envelopes
  • Optimization of operating parameters to improve yield, conversion, and efficiency
  • Energy and utility consumption optimization
