Complete Systems Engineering & Project Management Services
As seasoned experts in heavy and light industrial multi-disciplined engineering projects and Biomass Boiler, Combustion, and Energy Systems we can support you with a wide array of engineering, project design and management services.
CPE can supplement your project execution team or provide you with complete project engineering and management services.
The CPE team has experience in many industries and has designed equipment around a wide range of rigorous operational conditions, codes, and standards. This includes chain conveyors, metering bins, air heaters, heat exchangers, reactors, incinerators, and combustors.
CPE can support your project from Heat & Mass Balance to Process Flow Diagrams to P&IDs to critical process equipment design.
CPE offers solid, liquid, and gaseous fuel combustion systems tuning. Let CPE safely optimize your combustion processes.
Through system level inspections and energy audits of your system(s), CPE can identify energy losses and other inefficiencies to determine their root causes so that economical solutions and plans can be implemented.
CPE can create a 3D model of your new or existing plant and equipment. The 3D model can be used as a tool for internal discussion/demonstrations through VR training simulators.
With extensive hands-on experience and knowledge of piping design and applications, CPE can completely execute your piping design project. Expertise in piping design codes ensures that CPE designs are always compliant, safe, and economical, all with expeditious deliverables.
CPE utilizes the latest in portable 3D scanning and measurement technologies to capture real-world objects and environments to produce high resolution point clouds. The point-clouds are used internally for complete engineering and design services, or as a stand-alone deliverable.
CPE can perform advanced Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics in-house. CPE has the real-world experience of building and commissioning systems that have been analyzed using these tools
CPE excels in front-end loaded project development. We believe in establishing a solid project foundation and possess the wisdom to advise against whole projects or project elements that potentially put our customers at risk.
CPE has varied and diverse site experiences, sometimes remote locations, serving in engineering, commissioning, and management capacities.
CPE can integrate into your team and act as a supplemental arm to your organization. In this capacity, your best interest is being managed by experienced and knowledgeable professionals.
CPE can support you in the development of new technologies in emerging and/ or mature industries. This involves pilot, demonstration, or commercial scale-up technology design support services.
CPE understands the codes and stress classification techniques to intelligently design your pressure vessels in manners that will save you material, time, and money. CPE can support piping, fired and unfired vessels, etc.
CPE offers a unique experience in the engineering and design of complete solid fuel combustion systems, including all types of stokers, BFB’s, and CFB’s. CPE also offers the design of secondary/overfire air systems.
Annual tube thickness mapping is a critical link in the preventive maintenance chain for a boiler system. By tracking tube thicknesses year over year, problem areas can be identified before they become a tube failure. CPE also offers internal scale mapping services; this scan is performed at the same time as the tube thickness mapping process. With internal scale mapping, an asset manager can see slips in water treatment or a boiler circulation issue before it becomes a unplanned outage and emergency problem.
The single most important element of a biomass feedstock based project is the proper classification of the biomass to be used. The constituents of the biomass (singular or plural) set the foundation for the equipment design and are essential to success in specifying the equipment and being able to confidently predict the performance of the plant.
CPE is uniquely experienced in the nuances of biomass fuels and feedstocks, and can confidently narrow in on the constituents which require the most attention. CPE's services include the following:
- Ultimate Analysis
- Proximate Analysis
- Ash Elemental Analysis
- Ash Fusion Temperatures
- Particle Size Distribution
CPE is well versed in interpreting analytical results into practical applications and will develop a risk register to ensure the equipment/plant is designed to meet the needs of the fuels/feedstock. We pride ourselves in turning "risky" fuels into big opportunities for our customers.
