Process Engineering Services

IR Process provides process engineering services focused on delivering lasting value for industrial operations. We work with facility owners and operators to develop objective, application-specific solutions that result in optimized, integrated process systems for bulk handling and industrial processing needs. Our engineers apply proven methods developed through decades of real-world project execution, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to each client’s goals, constraints, and operating requirements. This collaborative, engineering-driven approach allows IR Process to support projects from early concept through implementation, ensuring each system is designed to perform as intended in real-world operating conditions.

A Process Engineering Approach Focused on System Performance

IR Process approaches process engineering as a disciplined, system-level function rooted in real-world operating requirements. Rather than applying predefined solutions, our engineers evaluate each project on its own merits to develop process systems designed for reliable performance over the long term.

Our process engineering approach is defined by the following principles:

System-First Engineering: We treat process engineering as a system-level discipline, designing how materials, equipment, and controls function together rather than focusing on individual products
Application-Specific Evaluation: Each project is approach as a unique problem with different material characteristics, operating conditions, performance requirements, and project constraints that we make sure to consider
Objective Technology Selection: Because we are not tied to a single technology or manufacturer, we can evaluate multiple approaches and select the best solution for each project
Full System Responsibility: Our involvement extends beyond design, with accountability for system performance through installation, startup, and operation

If you are considering changes to an existing process or planning a new system, IR Process can help evaluate options and determine the most effective path forward. Contact our team to discuss your requirements.

Industrial Process Engineering for Integrated Process Systems

Through proven industrial process engineering methods, we design integrated systems that support material movement, storage, and processing across the entire operation. These systems are engineered to improve workflow efficiency, reduce downtime, and deliver consistent performance in demanding production environments. Our process engineering services commonly include the design and integration of:

Pneumatic Conveying Systems: Vacuum & pressure conveying utilizing both dense phase and dilute phase systems
Mechanical Conveying Systems: Including belt conveyors, bucket elevators, screw conveyors, drag conveyors, vibratory conveyors & tubular drag conveyors
Unloading & Bulk Storage Systems: Including bulk bag unloaders, bag dump stations, drum dumpers, bins, silos, and tanks
Particulate Processing, crushing, grinding, screening, batching, feeding, drying and dewatering systems
Air Pollution Control: Baghouses, bin vents, wet scrubbers, and high efficiency cyclones

Process Engineering for Industrial Applications

IR Process applies its process engineering expertise across a wide range of industries that rely on complex material handling and industrial processing systems. Our engineers work closely with industrial operators to design systems that improve production efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance within real-world operating environments. Our process engineering and design support is directly integrated with the systems we engineer and implement, allowing us to take full responsibility for long-term system performance. Industries we commonly support include:

End-to-End Process Engineering Services and Support

Our team of engineers bring extensive experience supporting industrial customers with process solutions. We take the time to understand your project in detail, developing clear plans that account for scope, timelines, budget targets, and system requirements. Our role is to help customers refine and implement process solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance while adhering to regulatory requirements.

Through our process engineering services, we support projects with:

FEL or Pre-Engineering to define the scope of the project with a detailed look at the resources that will be required
Process and Equipment Design to determine how the equipment will function as a part of an integrated system
Design-Build Support to streamline coordination from engineering through system implementation
Project Management to guide execution, scheduling, and coordination across project phases
Ongoing System Support to stand behind system performance after startup

Process Engineering Expertise Built on Experience

Since 1985, IR Process has developed its process engineering capabilities through decades of hands-on, real-world project experience. By designing, implementing, and supporting industrial process systems, our engineers have developed practical insight into how systems perform beyond the design phase. This experience allows us to listen closely to our customers’ needs and apply engineering judgment to develop solutions that align with operational goals, constraints, and long-term performance requirements. As industries and technologies evolve, IR Process continues to refine its approach to ensure the systems we engineer remain effective, reliable, and adaptable.
