Engineering & Process Design
From Process Requirements to a Production-Ready Solution
At LMT Process Systems, we translate your process requirements and needs into practical, production-ready solutions. We combine process expertise, engineering, and hands-on experience from production and installation to ensure that the solution not only works on paper—but can also be manufactured, installed, tested, and maintained in practice.
Do you need engineering support or feedback on your process design?
Let us help you turn your process requirements into a production-ready design.
About Our Engineering & Process Design
Comprehensive Solution
We cover the entire process, from process calculations and P&IDs to 3D design, installation, and as-built documentation.
Design for Manufacturing
Our engineering is based on practical experience gained in the workshop and on-site—so that the plant can actually be built and maintained.
Documentation & CE
Full management of drawings, parts lists, risk assessments, and CE marking.
A well-functioning processing plant begins long before the first weld is made
We can get involved from the early design phases or take over an existing design and further develop it through to production and installation.
Process Design and Sizing
Based on your process requirements, we work on the sizing and design of the plant’s piping systems, components, and instrumentation. The goal is to create a well-thought-out solution in which capacity, function, material selection, installation, and cost are considered together from the very beginning.
Depending on the project, our engineering services may include, among other things:
- Calculation of Flow, Pressure Drop, Capacity, and Pipe Sizes
- Sizing and Selection of Pumps, Valves, and Instrumentation
- Material Selection and Sizing of Process Components
- Technical Specifications, Data Sheets, and Procurement Documentation
- Technical supplier dialogue, cost estimates, and budgeting
P&IDs and Process Documentation
P&IDs serve as a key foundation for the engineering, automation, installation, testing, and subsequent operation of the process plant. The documentation is continuously updated throughout the project so that changes arising from design, production, and installation are directly incorporated into the final as-built documentation.
LMT can prepare and maintain project documentation, including:
- P&ID
- Process and System Descriptions
- Parts Lists
- Valve Lists
- Instrument Lists
- Equipment Lists
- Pipe Fittings
- Technical Specifications
- Job Descriptions
- Document and Audit Management
3D Design and Working Drawings
We use 3D design to translate the process design into a solution that works in practice. The model clarifies pipe routing, component placement, access conditions, and interfaces before production begins.
Systematic audit management ensures that the workshop, site organization, QA/QC, and the customer always work from the same, approved basis.
Based on the 3D model, we prepare, among other things:
- 3D Models of Process Plants
- Pipe Routing
- Layout Drawings
- Production Drawings
- Isometrics
- Spool Drawings
- Construction Drawings
- Support Drawings
- Installation Guidelines
- Material and Bill of Materials
Design for Manufacturing and Installation
An important part of our engineering work is the collaboration between those who design the plant and those who will subsequently build it. This reduces the need for changes during production and installation and contributes to more efficient project execution.
Our experience with shop fabrication and on-site installation makes it possible to take into account, for example, the following as early as the design phase:
- Prefabrication Options
- Division into transportable units and skids
- Assembly and Installation Sequence
- Welding and Assembly Access
- Service and Maintenance Access
- Location of Valves and Instruments
- Pipe Supports
- Lifting and Handling
- Interfaces for Existing Installations
- Coordination with Other Subjects
Automation and Function
When LMT provides automation as part of the project, the engineering phase may also include the development of the system's functional specifications.
Among other things, this document defines how pumps, valves, instruments, and other components are to work together, and how the system is to respond under various operating conditions.
The functional specification can then serve as the basis for PLC programming, HMI, testing, FAT, SAT, and the subsequent commissioning.
CE Marking and Technical Documentation
When the delivery is subject to relevant CE requirements, LMT can incorporate conformity assessment and technical documentation as an integral part of the project. The specific requirements are determined based on the scope of the delivery and LMT’s role as a manufacturer, integrator, or subcontractor, as applicable.
Depending on the project and applicable laws, the work may include, among other things:
- Identification of Relevant Directives and Regulations
- Risk Analysis and Risk Assessment
- Identification of Relevant Standards
- Technical Dossier
- Documentation from component suppliers
- Operating and Maintenance Documentation
- Test and Inspection Documentation
- EU Declaration of Conformity
- CE Marking
Engineering Throughout the Entire Project
Our engineering work does not stop once the drawings have been approved. We continuously update the project documentation throughout both production and installation to ensure a clear and consistent connection between the design, the completed system, and the documentation provided.
