Process Engineering
Process design, verification and troubleshooting for grassroots units and revamps — relief systems and PSV sizing to API 520/521, hydraulic analysis, heat & material balances, and safety study support.
Sharma Engineering Consultants is an independent United Kingdom consultancy providing process engineering, commissioning & start-up, and owner's engineering services to refineries and petrochemical facilities worldwide.
From the first heat and material balance to the final performance test, we bring senior, hands-on judgement to the questions that decide whether a plant performs.
Process design, verification and troubleshooting for grassroots units and revamps — relief systems and PSV sizing to API 520/521, hydraulic analysis, heat & material balances, and safety study support.
Planning and execution support from mechanical completion to steady-state operation — pre-commissioning, performance test runs, test report evaluation and operational acceptance strategy.
Independent oversight that protects the owner's interest at every gate — design and vendor document review, technical bid evaluation, and assurance of contractor deliverables.
Deep scrutiny of static and rotating equipment documentation — heat exchanger thermal design, datasheet and drawing consistency, and assessment of modification and fabrication deviations.
Rigorous, defensible analysis when projects become contested — arbitration-grade technical reports, force majeure and risk advisories, root-cause investigation and independent expert review.
Purpose-built calculation software where spreadsheets stop being enough — hydraulic network simulation, relief load applications and bespoke engineering workflow automation.
We have worked on every side of a major project — for contractors executing the work, for project management consultants assuring it, and for owners accepting it. That perspective shows in deliverables that are practical, grounded in code, and written to withstand scrutiny from a start-up team, a lender's engineer or an arbitral tribunal.
We deliberately remain a small practice. Nothing is delegated downward; the experience you engage is the experience you receive.
Whether it concerns a single relief calculation or the acceptance strategy for an entire unit, an initial discussion is always without obligation.
