Process Systems

Re:Build Optimation designs and builds custom turnkey process systems that support our clients with first of a kind (FOAK) systems, process scale-up and intensification, capacity expansion, and new product introduction. We deliver solutions for customers in greenfield and brownfield environments across a variety of applications. Our skid-based and modular process systems help guide customers through installation commissioning at a project site in the field or at the client’s site, ensuring seamless start-up of operations.

Typical Applications
  • Chemical process systems: batch and continuous reactions, filtration, solvent extraction, distillation, gas absorption/stripping, membrane separation
  • Clean-in-place systems (CIP)
  • Mechanical process systems: unloading, conveying, crushing, milling, classifying, weighing, blending, mixing, dust control, metal detection and removal
  • Pilot plants
  • Plant expansions
  • Process utility systems: power, heat transfer, fluid delivery, wastewater treatment
  • Solution delivery systems

Product Test & Assembly Equipment

We collaborate with clients to develop custom equipment for complex, automated product assembly and testing. Our design and engineering teams’ automate multistep processes into a fully integrated, value-added machine that optimizes assembly. The assembly steps include high-precision, automated welding. Custom test systems are defined within testing criteria and procedures, which are usually a combination of fluid, mechanical, electrical, and visual testing parameters. Assembly and testing equipment is designed and built for safe, reliable, repeatable performance for the life of the equipment.

  • Pressure testing systems: up to 45,000 PSIG
  • Electromechanical and electrochemical testing systems
  • Custom fuel cell and electrolyzer test stands
  • Custom battery system test stands
  • Single and multistation assembly machines

System Integration

Our system integration services that meet a wide variety of automation requirements for the process and manufacturing industries. System integration involves designing and deploying systems to link subsystems including hardware, software, and other technologies to enable end-to-end control of a process or manufacturing system. Our team of CSIA-certified system integrators works with our clients from the development of project requirements and functional specifications through implementation, testing, and commissioning. We are brand agnostic and regularly work with many differentautomation product brands, including Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation, Automation Direct, GE, Emerson, Mitsubishi, and more.

Typical Applications
  • OEM equipment integration
  • Batch and continuous process control
  • Automation integration (e.g., conveyance, robotics)
  • Controls system upgrades/replacements
Services & Solutions
  • Process engineering and design
  • Process hazard analysis (PHA)
  • Process modelling and optimization
  • Piping design and analysis
  • Hazardous area assessment and classification
  • Risk and compliance engineering
  • Automation and control system engineering, design, programming, and installation (e.g., PLCs, SCADAs, HMIs, DCSs)
  • Project and construction management
  • Fabrication and field services

Fabrication & Field Services

Our fabrication and field services team provides customers facing complex process challenges with safe, high-quality solutions developed at our fabrication facilities and at clients’ sites. The fabrication and field service engineering team designs drawing packages, which include the fabrication, assembly, and testing systems that are installed and commissioned at our clients’ sites.

Services & Expertise
Fabrication Shops

We are equipped with SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, and laser welding, as well as passivation equipment capable of handling carbon, alloy, and stainless steels (including sanitary) and aluminum, titanium, and nickel-based alloys.

Skilled Trades

Re:Build Optimation’s highly skilled workers are from five trades—welding, sheet metal, pipefitting, electrical, and millwright—specialize in utility and process systems, custom machine building, and on-site installation, maintenance, and repair.

NFPA 70E Training

Our electrical journey workers all have NFPA 70E training and can deliver complex electrical systems. Our panel shop has UL 508a and CSIA certification and provides high-quality industrial control panels for process system, system integration, and automation projects.

Certifications

The welding and sheet metal shops hold ASME U and R stamps for pressure vessel fabrication and repair of a variety of ASME sec VIII div 1 pressure vessels while our panel shop provides UL 508a and CSIA certified industrial control panels. 

Typical Applications
  • Process system fabrication, testing, installation and commissioning
  • Product test and assembly equipment fabrication, testing, installation and commissioning
  • System integration field installation and commissioning
  • Machine guarding: passive and active machine guarding
  • Maintenance and repair services: preventative and emergency maintenance, leveling, precision and optical alignment, equipment relocation and setting
  • Machine and facility risk assessments/audits
  • Arc flash studies
