Process Engineering Design

What is Process Engineering Design?

Process Engineering design is a series of phases in which engineers create processes or modules to create a product via different unit operations. The design phase is iterative, in which processes are restarted or reworked in order to function properly. HighTec Energy can come in at any stage of the following six stages of process engineering design:
Concept and design process
01. Conceptual

The first phase in design in which a solid foundation is built. This stage provides a description of the proposed project. Drawings and/or models are created during this phase.

02. Front End Engineering Design (FEED)

This stage focuses on the technical requirements of the design, as well a rough investment cost. Oftentimes, this phase will reflect most of the clients’ specific requirements.

03. Detailed

This phase provides the full definition of every aspect of the project’s development. It includes all studies to be performed before the actual project construction begins. This is the stage where plans, specifications and estimates are created and finalized.

04. Construction Support

Support during the implementation of the project.

05. Commissioning

The final phase in engineering design. Systems and equipment become functional and the project is brought to actual, full operation.

06. Operations and Optimization

This phase is outliving all others and evolving for years to come. Our core expertise is in efficient, reliable operations and optimization that saves money, reduce emissions and improve returns on assets that you paid for.

Social Responsibility

We are committed to Environmental awareness and act as a responsible global citizen. The safety of people and sustainable environmental are engrained in our DNA and in every act we perform.

We adhere to risk evaluation on overall safety and environmental footprint on every single engineering project life cycle.

Health, Safety, Environment are separate issues, each with its own technology, but they are often combined in the same functional groups within the oil companies.

These three subjects are of paramount importance to the petroleum industry and adherence to HSE guidelines is a requirement for operators worldwide and is also dictated by internal policies of most corporations.


It is fundamental to have and implement an HSEMS (Health, Safety and Environmental Management System) which defines the principles by which operations are conducted and control the risks in the whole industry cycle.
