Process Engineering

Allnorth has the experience to undertake projects in all areas of process engineering. We work closely with our clients in the conceptual and scope development phases of a project. Our plant operational experience enables us to assist in the evaluation of concepts and ensure that the project scope is completely developed prior to proceding with successing phases of the project.

We are specialists in developing process simulations using CADSIM Plus to allow identification and evaluation of mill upgrade concepts. Our simulations have ranged in size from small, single area process balances to mill-wide process and energy balances for integrated facilities. Computerized simulations allow the impact of a local process or energy modification or various "what if" scenarios to be accurately determined for the mill as a whole.
