Services
Process Design
Our process design services create robust solutions for crude units, FCC installations, and other refinery equipment. With over 100 completed projects, we develop customized process flow schemes that maximize profitability while ensuring constructibility. Our engineers perform complete equipment designs in-house, avoiding vendor dependencies that often compromise reliability and efficiency.
Revamp Studies
We specialize in revamp studies that identify root causes of operational issues and deliver targeted improvements. Our approach combines field data collection, proprietary modeling tools, and decades of experience to develop cost-effective upgrades. These studies assess mechanical constraints, process parameters, and energy recovery opportunities to extend unit run lengths and enhance product yields.
Process Optimization
Our optimization services focus on improving refinery profitability through detailed process analysis. Using proprietary computational tools and field measurements, we identify energy losses, mechanical bottlenecks, and operational inefficiencies. Customized solutions increase throughput, reduce energy consumption, and enhance product quality across diverse crude types ranging from heavy bitumen to light condensates.
Training Courses
We offer specialized training that transfers decades of practical refining experience to operators and engineers. Our courses cover process fundamentals, equipment operation, and troubleshooting techniques based on real-world case studies. Participants gain actionable knowledge that improves troubleshooting capabilities, operational decisions, and overall process understanding for enhanced plant performance.
Energy Efficiency
Our energy efficiency services identify and implement practical improvements in crude units, FCC installations, and cokers. Through comprehensive heat loss analysis and staged investment strategies, we develop solutions that capture waste energy for preheating and other processes. These improvements reduce operating costs while maintaining reliability and extend equipment lifespan through optimized thermal management.
Questions

Removed and replace Garage roof sheets, fitted Facias and a new carport roof. A few initial issues getting started due to Covid, so not Garage revamps fault, but once they got in to it, all done, Looks very good, Only done in December, so cant really know quality wise, but it appears to be sound, and looks great, thank you

Contacted Garage Revamps Ltd to refurbish my garage. Work included changing the structure from flat old leaking asbestos roof, to new apex roof including fitting additional concrete panels. Work was carried out to an exceptional standard by Joe and Tony, who did everything that was asked of them, nothing was too much trouble for them, and the two guy's never stopped. The price Gareth quoted was very reasonable, so the go ahead was given. Once again Thank you very much Gareth, and to Joe and Tony, for an excellent professional job. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Company. Dave, Ilkley.

Requested a some work to be done (March 2020) to replace some timber on the roof. Initially phoned several times before they came out to look. The job was completed in several spurts. I then found they had jacked up the side of the garage to open the garage door which has ripped up the concrete base and created more damage. When I highlighted this to them, they came out to look and then fobbed me off with excuses, said they would create a quote to fix the issues caused and never heard from then again. Other garage companies I have asked to repair this since have all been very reserved to repair this which is likely going to ensure I will have to replace this
