High-performance and safe engineering!
Prohead Engineering specialises in high-risk industrial production. We excel at analysing and improving chemical processes and electromechanical production lines.
Process Engineering
As process engineers, we analyse existing process problems and then move on to designing process solutions. We also design completely new plants. We do this with a team of chemical process engineers, automation specialists and our in-house drawing office.
Driven by the current energy transition, we are also the engineering partner for numerous renewable projects involving H2, NH3, pyrolysis, battery components, electrification of processes, ...

Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)
Prohead Engineering works on intriguing, innovative and often high-risk chemistry. Do you want to not only design chemical processes, but also understand and mitigate all potential risks? That requires much deeper, yet also more synthesising, knowledge, experience and methodology.
Fortunately, at Prohead Engineering we have years of experience in performing HAZOP/LOPA and other risk analysis methods. Moreover, we mitigate the risks we identify by designing and implementing measures. We also teach at universities and in industry to share our knowledge.

Explosion Safety Engineering
Explosion safety is a fascinating field that combines process technology, materials science and analysis methods. Explosion safety is not only a topic in high-risk processes, but just as much in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, metalworking and recycling installations. It makes our work enormously varied, from chocolate production to Seveso companies.
Prohead Engineering has experts, engineers and draughtsmen with advanced knowledge of improving explosion safety. We also teach this knowledge at universities and in industry.

Production Line Integration
Industrial machine lines consist of a number of highly specialised individual sub-assemblies (robots, palletisers, extrusion, ovens, hydraulics, pneumatics,...). Linking them together increases the complexity of the whole, and also the risk. Moreover, at that point our client becomes a machine builder in their own right.
Prohead Engineering analyses existing complex industrial production lines and also designs the assembly of new lines. In doing so, we apply our electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic and automation knowledge.

Safety Control Systems
We use our in-depth automation knowledge to fine-tune the overall safety control of integrated machine lines. We do this both in engineering projects for new lines and when optimising existing lines.
We also apply this functional safety knowledge to chemical processes, together with our process colleagues. This collaboration between automation experts and process experts is unique and enables us to successfully complete more complex and challenging projects.

Utility Engineering
Because of our knowledge of high-risk installations, our large industrial clients often call on us for utility engineering. All kinds of complexities come together here, allowing us to make optimal use of our knowledge. Think of unloading and loading areas, storage and waste treatment of (environmentally) hazardous and (radio)active materials. As a result, we are continuously involved in projects around making processes more sustainable, such as H2, NH3, sustainable fuels, syngas, pyrolysis, biogas,... .
For example, we are involved in electrifying (food) processes in cooperation with research institutions. We also work on optimising the energy supply for safety-related and critical installations in the chemical, pharmaceutical and metallurgical industries. And engineering the special techniques and processes for breweries does not scare us either.
