- Asset management including useful life assessment
Asset Management
GPA have comprehensive experience to assist with asset management, assessment condition and risk assessment. We regularly advise on plant optimisation to increase plant productivity, boost reliability and reduce operating costs.
GPA has performed asset condition and optimisation studies for number of clients across a range of applications and disciplines such as: power systems, energy management, control system and processing plant optimisation, pipe work and pressure vessels, tanks, structural assessments in addition to safety critical system, such as burner and boiler management studies and risk assessments.
Process Modelling
GPA performs facility process modelling for greenfield and brownfield plants to provide sizing, debottlenecking, optimisation, heat recovery and efficiency improvements for gas, liquids and multiphase systems. We use static and dynamic simulation of the process to ensure the viability, stability and safety of the system.
GPA’s unit operations knowledge includes separations systems design, distillation, water treatment and heat transfer, and fluid dynamics, our well rounded experience ensures cost effective specifications and designs are provided.
