Chemicals thought Leadership

Specialty & Ag-Chemical Thought Leadership 

Understanding specialty and agricultural chemical plant operations is essential when selecting a partner for your next project. These industries operate in a highly-regulated and safety-critical environment with aging assets. A deep knowledge of these operations ensures your chosen partner can implement innovative solutions to improve your efficiency and reduce your risks. Thought leadership is not simply understanding that you face obsolescence, a shortage of qualified resources to operate plants, insufficient OpEx to maximize asset utilization, and how to invest in Digital Solutions, but a pragmatic approach to help you develop strategies to address your unique needs. 

Proper up-front engineering is crucial to match the right technology and project execution to your unique problem. All solutions should consider the reality assets fail and human error exists requiring robust designs. For Digital Transformation and Plant Modernizations, the focus is on phased implementations which are scalable. Your Digital Transformation requires a strategy which minimizes random acts of digitalization and focuses on quick sprints to build momentum and buy-in. From there, you can scale effectively.
