Each capability is named, scoped and tied to a deliverable.
Material & Compatibility Selection
DirectGlass lining, borosilicate glass, PTFE/PFA/FEP, graphite and stainless steel matched to acids, alkalis, solvents, chlorides and contamination-sensitive products — against process chemistry and OEM duty limits.
Duty & Configuration Review
DirectPressure, vacuum, temperature, thermal-shock and agitation duty checked against OEM limits; nozzle orientation, manway, charging, vent, drain, sampling, dip-pipe, thermowell, baffle and agitator arrangement reviewed for the process.
Equipment Scope Covered
DirectGlass-lined reactors, receivers, storage vessels and nutsche filters; borosilicate reactors, columns, condensers, scrubbers, separators and solvent-recovery assemblies; glass piping, sight glasses and PTFE-lined valves, hoses, bellows and gaskets.
Vendor Review & Quality Checks
CoordinationVendor prequalification, RFQ and technical comparison; review of lining thickness, spark/holiday test and visual inspection; certificates, test and inspection reports, warranty terms and recommended spares; FAT and inspection-call coordination where applicable.
Installation & Commissioning
DirectSite-readiness, unloading, storage and lifting method statements for fragile glass and glass-lined equipment; positioning, levelling and nozzle-orientation verification; protected handling to avoid impact, chipped nozzles and joint stress; gasket selection and torque-controlled flange assembly per OEM guidance.
Operations, Maintenance & Lining Care
DirectOperating SOPs for charging, heating, cooling, agitation, vacuum, venting, draining and cleaning; safe temperature ramp-up/ramp-down and thermal-shock prevention; periodic lining inspection, spark testing and gasket/seal replacement planning.
Safety, Static & Risk Control
DirectEarthing, bonding and static-charge control for solvent and flammable service; thermal-shock and over-pressure risk review; safe-handling and breakage-response practices; integration with vacuum, scrubber, condenser and nitrogen safety systems.
Glass-lined and borosilicate equipment sits at the centre of the acid-handling, solvent-recovery and distillation duty that defines our home sectors — bulk-drug API, fine chemicals and agrochemicals. The judgement here is earned on the plant floor: where linings fail, how a careless lift writes off a reactor, and which thermal-shock the SOP forgot to forbid.
Diagnostic Study
Short, focused engagement that produces a structured recommendation report.
- Starting a new client relationship
- Scoping a problem before a larger programme
- Pre-audit gap analysis
Project Engineering Mandate
End-to-end engineering for a defined project — greenfield train, retrofit or expansion.
- Greenfield API / chemical plant
- Capacity expansion
- Major equipment retrofit
Implementation Retainer
Sustained engineering support to carry a roadmap from recommendation to operating reality.
- Systemic, multi-front gaps
- Op-ex transformation
- Sustained capacity programmes
